Your client may be one phone call away from sold. Here's how I can help you help your client sell their home as quickly as possible, at the right price. With one phone call, a home seller can spice up their property in a day or two* for a better impression, a faster sale, at a better price without delay...
Curb Appeal:
Mow the lawn and keep it well-maintained.
Plant flowers or install low-maintenance landscaping.
Remove debris from the yard and tidy up outdoor spaces.
Power wash the home's exterior, driveway, and sidewalks.
Repaint or touch up the exterior paint, especially the front door and shutters.
Declutter:
Get rid of unnecessary items to make your home look more spacious.
Rent a storage unit if needed, to store extra belongings temporarily. (I'll pack it up and get it stored.)
Organize closets and cupboards, potential buyers often look inside to check space.
Depersonalize:
Remove personal photographs, items, and any unique or quirky decor.
The aim is to let potential buyers imagine themselves living in your home.
Deep Clean:
Professional cleaning to thoroughly clean your home. (If I haven't cleaned your house, your house has never been cleaned.)
Pay attention to details like grout, vents, windows, and any hard-to-reach areas.
Repairs and Improvements:
Fix all the small things like leaky faucets, loose doorknobs, and burned-out light bulbs.
Consider larger repairs if they could significantly increase your home's value, such as roof repairs or updating an outdated bathroom.
Fresh paint in neutral colors can greatly improve the look and feel of your home.
Staging:
Clear the rooms.
Arrange furniture to showcase the space and flow in your house.
Consider hiring a professional stager to maximize your home's potential.
Lighting:
Ensure all rooms are well-lit.
Replace any old or outdated light fixtures.
Open curtains and blinds to let in natural light during showings.
Odors:
Eliminate any sources of bad odor, especially if you have pets.
Consider using air fresheners or diffusers to create a welcoming aroma.
Professional Photos:
Once everything is clean and tidy, have professional photos taken.
Good photos are crucial for online listings and may significantly impact initial interest.
Pre-Inspection:
Consider getting a pre-inspection to know any potential issues buyers might find.
This could save you from unexpected surprises and help you price your home accurately.
