Prepare to Sell

You can do a lot to increase the appeal of your property and to create a lasting impact on potential buyers.

What To Do To Prepare

The following are factors to keep in mind when listing your property for sale:

1. Curb Appeal

Keeping your landscape pristine, and adding creative touches to your yard, such as colorful annuals, will create an immediate impact on passers-by and potential buyers.

2. Property Repairs

Simple upgrades such as window repairs, polishing the doorknobs, and a fresh coat of paint in the most frequently used rooms will instantly brighten up the property.

3. Cleanliness and Staging

Keep your property uncluttered, sweet-smelling and well-lit from top-to-bottom. Pay attention to details: minimize any baby or pet toys, place a vase of fresh flowers near the entryway, pop a batch of cinnamon rolls in the oven, have your carpets cleaned.  If you are selling during the off-season be sure to corral any outdoor furniture as much as possible. Your agent will scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve the staging for the most appeal.

4. Disclosures and Inspections

We are very familiar with the legal procedures involved in disclosures and are ready to help you develop a thorough disclosure statement beneficial to both you and the buyer, as well as suggesting home improvement measures before placing your property on the market.

5. Showtime

Presenting your property to potential buyers is a job that we will take care of for you. Buyers feel more comfortable discussing the property with the agent when you are not there. Moreover, your agent will know what information will be most useful in representing your interests when speaking with prospective buyers.
