8 WAYS TO PREP YOUR HOME FOR SALE

1

Improve your landscaping. 
Curb appeal is crucial to a good first impression, so make sure your home's lawn is immaculate. Mow the lawn, prune the bushes, weed the garden and plant flowers.

2

Clean the outside. 
A sloppy exterior will make buyers think you've slacked off on interior maintenance as well. Be sure to clean the gutters and pressure wash your home's siding.

3

Make repairs.
In a buyer's market, you want your home to be in the best condition possible. Take care of major defects like broken windows or a leaky roof that could discourage buyers.

4

Make front door inviting.
A fresh coat of paint, especially in a color that contrasts with the home, will make the front door stand out. Replace faded house numbers so buyers can see them from the curb.

5

Buy a new welcome mat.
Let buyers know they're invited into your home.

6

Remove clutter and depersonalize.
Buyers want to envision their belongings in your home. Clean up by renting a storage unit for knickknacks, photos, extra furniture and other personal items.

7

Make every surface shine.
From ceiling fans to floors and everything in between, clean your home until it sparkles.

8

Eliminate odors.
Hide the litter box and spray air neutralizer throughout your home. When showing the home, fill it with inviting smells by putting out fresh flowers and baking a batch of cookies.
