Summer is a hot time to sell and buy homes! You've made the decision to sell, now what? Here's a simple checklist to ensure you're ready for what's next. Here's an easy checklist to get you ready:
- Price it Right: Your best chance to sell your property is within the first seven weeks. The longer the property stays on the market, the less the seller will net. Over-pricing can reduce the number of offers that you're likely to get.
- Clean and Organize: Eliminate clutter Keep your home clean Get rid of any looming odours It's also a good idea to rid your home of any sign of pets.
- Make the Home Accessible: Be sure to make your home easily accessible for showings Keep all interior doors unlocked, and don't be around during showings. If something is kept off-limits, people will wonder why.
- Paint & Flooring: Paint is the best investment you can make, for getting the greatest return on your money. Paint wherever you see chips, exposed wood or fading. It's a good idea to get damaged flooring repaired, and get carpets professionally cleaned.
- Curb Appeal: Your front yard is the first thing a potential buyer will see when they arrive at your property, so make a good first impression. Ensure your yard is clutter-free, landscaped and appealing from a distance.
