Selling your home is an exciting milestone — but to attract strong offers and stand out in today’s competitive market, presentation is everything. The good news? A few strategic steps can make a major difference in your home’s appeal, marketability, and final sale price. Here are five important things you can do to get your home ready to sell.
- Declutter and Simplify Your Spaces
Buyers want to imagine their lives in your home — not navigate around your belongings.
Start by clearing countertops, editing shelves, organizing closets, and removing excess décor. Think of it as getting a head start on packing.
- Deep Clean LikeaPro
A spotless home instantly signals to buyers that the property has been well cared for. Go beyond a regular tidy-up — this is a top-to-bottom refresh.
- Make Minor Repairs and Updates
Small issues can add up in buyers’ minds. Fixing minor repairs shows your home is move‑in ready and can prevent buyers from overestimating repair costs.
Quick fixes that pay off:
- Patch and touch up paint
- Replace burnt-out bulbs
- Tighten loose handles and hinges
- Repair leaky faucets
- Update outdated hardware
- Boost Your Curb Appeal
First impressions start at the curb — and buyers often decide how they feel about a home before they even step inside.
Easy outdoor improvements:
- Mow, edge, and weed the lawn
- Add fresh mulch
- Trim shrubs and trees
- Plant seasonal flowers or planters
- Power wash the driveway and walkway
- Stage to Showcase Your Home’s Best Features
Staging helps your home photograph beautifully and allows buyers to understand how each space can be used. I work with an experienced stager.
