If you’re putting your home on the market this season, chances are you want it to sell quickly – and over asking price. The easiest way to do this is to know what buyers are looking for. And then give it to them.
You’re probably thinking, ‘that sounds great, but I have a hundred other things to do right now.’ Hence this easy-peasy micro blog.
The three EASIEST improvements for you to do:
- Deep Clean the Shht Out of Your Home
Sorry to burst your bubble, but using Febreeze before a showing won’t cover up all the cleaning you were too busy to get to. People are judging your house-and its price-by how clean you keep it. There’s no escaping this one, we all do it.
- Fix the Broken Stuff
If that front door needs a hip-check to open or the kitchen light fixture is buzzing, you’re not fooling anyone. Just like people test drive cars before they buy, people are testing out your house. What does that dripping faucet say about the rest of your home?
- Replace the Lightbulbs
Not only do you have to make sure the switches work, you also have to make sure that all the lightbulbs in your house match. No more dim yellow light in the dining room, white in the foyer, and bright yellow-orange in the hallway. Do you know how inexpensive, simple, and impactful light harmony is? Yet, it’s always overlooked.
