How to Prepare Your Home for a Spring Listing

Spring is the season of renewal. Thus, for many people, it is a great time to make a major change in their life, such as selling their home to move into a new one. If you want to get the absolute best price for your current home, you need to prepare it for viewing by potential clients. 

 

Here are a few simple things you can do in this respect:

1. Let Natural Light In

Natural sunlight is the best filter for the photos of your home. When you take photos of each room and host a viewing day, make sure that the drapes are pulled back and the shutters lifted all the way up.

2. Spruce Up Your Home

Fix creaky doors, apply a fresh coat of paint and call specialists to sand and prime the wooden floors. The small investment you make in small repairs will pay off.

3. Remove Clutter and Outdated Decorations

If you’ve lived in your house for decades, you most certainly accumulated a lot of items, not just furniture and household appliances, but also decorations. Some hold a sentimental value for you, but they certainly look like they belong in the 1980s or ’90s. Pack them and put them away before you host an open house day.
