How To Get Your House Ready To Sell

An excellent question for any seller to ask a Realtor is “what should I do to get my house ready for the market?” There is a lot of work to be done before you list your home. With a Realtor, everything must be done behind the scenes before you give buyers the opportunity to look at your home and start asking questions. Keep in mind that every home is different, so the advice you get for your home might be different than the information another seller would get. Here are some things that almost every seller needs to do. These include:

Clean things up: No one wants to buy a dirty house. Only bargain seekers are going to be highly interested in a cluttered, messy home, because they assume, they can get a great deal from an as-is seller. If you want reasonable offers, you need to remove clutter and clean thoroughly.

Make needed repairs: Broken door handles, missing tiles, stained carpets—there are probably several little jobs that need to be done around your house before you list it. The more of these small, cheap fixes you make, the more desirable your home will be. Proper home maintenance shows you care for your property. There may also be big jobs that need to be done.

Take great pictures: The photos on your listing are the first thing that most buyers are going to see. You want them to be good, and it takes talent and practice to produce those kinds of pictures. Your agent should either be skilled at taking real estate pictures or know someone who is.

Doing all this prep work will take a lot of time. If you are looking to sell your house fast and don’t want to worry about any of the prep work, you should consider selling to CB Home Solutions. If you would be interested in selling your house or have any questions please contact us 920-215-4201
