Things you need to do before you put your house on the market for sale

In order to make your home stand out in the market you need to make it look as desirable as possible. Here are ten easy steps to get your home in Tip, Top, Shape!

Picture wit paint brush

Clean Carpets – Have your carpets cleaned if they are dirty or smelly with some pet odor. If the carpets are really bad and you have hardwood floors underneath, it is sometimes better to just pull up the carpets and show off the hardwood floors.
Paint any room that needs to be touched up and freshen up the rooms. Also remember to touch up the molding if it is scuffed up or chipped.
Decks – make sure your power wash your decks and re-stain the entire deck for a fresh look. Plant new shrubs or flowers to increase the curb appeal on your front and back yard.
Clean and paint your front door if needed. This is the first impression the buyers will have on your home. Make sure all the exterior lights are clean and fixtures are not broken or rusted. If need be, replace items that look old or are broken.
Clean your roof and gutters of leaves and any moss. Power was the exterior walls to remove any mildew or staining.
Inspect your HVAC system to make sure the heater and AC are working. Replace the air filter for the Air handler. If need be, consider purchasing a Home Warranty for your home so the buyer will not have to worry about any house repairs. The home warranty covers the four major components, Heating, Air Condition, Electrical and Plumbing.
De-clutter your home by removing any items off of counters, table tops, ect. Clean out the closets and take out 12 of the items in there, make sure to straighten up the closet. Store any of these items away from the house by renting a storage facility until your home is sold.
Update, repair or replace any items, like fixtures, lights, fans, or receptacles as needed. These repairs will increase your homes overall position when comparing it to other homes on the market.

Call the Petridis Home Team so we can discuss and come up with a game plan to sell your home.

Selling your Home | Tips on Selling your House Quickly

I met with a potential seller this morning to speak to her about selling her house. She asked me a few key questions about what she needed to do get the home sold. Here are a few items that I recommended to her.

Fix Everything that is broken in the home. Make all necessary repairs and fix any leaky faucets, paint any walls that are scuffed up, interior or exterior, stretch the carpet. You need to make the buyer fall in love with your home when they come in. This is important because it will allow us to maximize your selling price on your home.
Declutter the Home, remove all clutter in the home, cleaning up all counter, pantry, closets, and storage areas, Pack up anything you do not need in boxes and store off-site away from your home. This will make your home look open and spacious! Removing bulky pieces of furniture will also be helpful
Clean your home – Make sure everything is deep cleaned, floors look squeaky clean, floors ceiling fans are dust free and vacuum all carpets and keep clean.
Remove any personal items off the walls, from pictures to religious items. Take anything down that is distracting and remove any bold colors and paint neutral colors in each room. The goal is to help buyers envision themselves in your home.
Remove any bad smell in the house, including food, pets and other offending odors. Remove pets and cat litter from home when home is being shown. Plug in a fresh air freshener or burn a scented candle.
Stage your home and add warm textures, clean contemporary glamour, decorate with neutral colors like taupe, the natural color trend for the year is the color green, and finally copper accents which brings out the antique look to the home.
