4-Smart-Ways-To-Get-a-Home-Ready-for-the-Real-Estate-Market

Are you getting ready to sell your home? It’s only natural that you want potential buyers to fall in love with your property at first sight, but how exactly do you go about doing that?

The right improvements, inside and out, can make all the difference in getting that full-price offer.

Follow these four smart tips to prepare your home for the market.

1. Add Personality


Potential buyers are looking for properties with a “wow” factor and an easy home improvement that helps the interior of your home stand out from the rest by installing unique finishes throughout the house.

There are plenty of ways to do this, depending upon which rooms you wish to target for an update.

In your kitchens and bathrooms, mount quality fixtures such as faucets, hinges, and handles. The living room could use barn wood to create a feature wall to provide the room with some interesting texture, color, and natural warmth.

If you’re looking for a simple yet effective upgrade that adds a touch of luxury and interest to the entire house, install a new door handle on each interior door. Choosing handles in brushed brass, nickel, or hammered iron finish adds style and sophistication to any interior design plan.

Remember that buyers pay attention to the details when they come to see your house, and these simple design upgrades can really make the difference in getting them to pull out the checkbook and make an offer.

2. Declutter and Organize the Interior


Real estate experts continuously stress the importance of decluttering before putting a house on the market.

A home filled with clutter overwhelms potential buyers from the moment they step through the front door, and it also distracts them from seeing all of the main features that a property has to offer.

What many homeowners don’t realize, though, is that every interior space needs to be free of clutter, and that includes storage areas like the attic, garage, basement, and even the closets.

Remove clutter from these areas and take the time to organize the items that are left. Many sellers find that it’s helpful to rent an offsite storage unit during the selling period.

Focusing on these storage areas in addition to the living space gives buyers the impression that the house has plenty of room and abundant storage space that won’t be outgrown.

3. Perform a Deep Clean

Don’t forget that deodorizing is also an essential part of a thorough cleaning. The easiest way to remove odors from inside the house is by using baking soda as you clean.

This miracle product literally sucks up odors as you use it to scrub surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms. Pour it down drains to get rid of any funky smells and sprinkle it on the carpet to suck up the funk often trapped in the fibers.

Also, add some pleasant-smelling indoor houseplants like eucalyptus, jasmine, or spearmint to your rooms. Not only is this an excellent way to bring color and texture into the design of your interior, but the plants also help to purify the air and lend natural, soothing smells to each room.

4. Boost Curb Appeal


Great curb appeal makes potential buyers stop and take notice of your property. The right combination of character and charm can be the difference in whether they choose to view your property over another.

Luckily, it’s pretty easy to spruce up the outside of your house in preparation for selling. Focus your effort on the front door, as it creates an eye-catching focal point with the right combination of upgrades.

Paint or stain the door in a bold color that contrasts with your exterior walls and trim color. You could also replace the doorknob and locks and upgrade to a video doorbell to provide the new owners with an extra level of safety and convenience.

As a final finishing touch, set out some potted plants when seasonally appropriate to create a delightful front entry that gives each visitor a warm welcome.

Sellers who forget to prepare a home for the market properly are truly leaving money on the table. Follow the steps above to make your property irresistible to potential buyers, increasing the chances of getting a great offer in a hurry. Happy selling!
