Do a Spring Clean

In this heated time, you will be competing with a number of other sellers so it’s important that your home is spick and span. Before you put your home on the market, it’s often a good idea to start the removal process.

Any hoarded items that you never use like the rowing machine and your grandmother’s old couch from the 60’s should be disposed of or donated to a cause. If you can’t bear to let them go, consider a temporary storage facility.

You should also impose some order and straighten up your closets.

Now that your home is tidy and decluttered, it’s time to get the gloves on and do some cleaning.

Don’t Forget the Exterior

This is the first thing potential buyers are going to see, so it makes sense to ensure your curbside appeal is in ship shape.

Peel off your cleaning gloves and slip on some gardening ones, as you should pull any weeds and consider planting some new flowers. This can add some vibrant colour, while taking advantage of the spring concept of new life.

Once the gardens are looking fresh, roll out the lawnmower and give your yard a good military trim. If there are any bald or overly yellow patches, give it a dose of grass seed and fertiliser. We buy houses North Carolina

Just like the inside of your home, you should remove any clutter like the rusting trampoline and broken swing set. Washing the exterior of your home is also a good idea, as grime can compound over the years.

Give it Some Vitality

If your home is lacking some lustre, a new paint job can spruce it up and bring it back to life both on the interior and exterior, while still remaining relatively cheap.

Regardless of how much you like your bright pink feature wall, it’s a good idea to stick to more neutral tones. You’re trying to appeal to the masses remember!

It’s not just your home that can benefit from some paint. You should also consider giving your mailbox and surrounding fence a fresh dab too.

Use a Real Estate Agent

Given it’s the selling season, there will likely be fierce competition from multitudes of both buyers and sellers springing into action.

Having a real estate agent to help you with the process of selling your home can really make a difference when it comes to standing out from the crowd.

Not to mention being able to handle any negotiations you may have with potentially difficult buyers!
