Fall Selling Prep List

Today’s housing market is different than it was just a few months ago. Taking the time upfront to prep your house appropriately and create a solid plan can help bring in the greatest return on your investment!

With price growth & buyer demand moderiating, as well as a greater supply of homes for sale, pricing your home 𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 for where the market is 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦, is more important than ever.

2. Keep It Clean

3. Help Buyers Feel At Home
It’s so important for buyers to see all the possible ways they can make your house 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 next home. The first step is to create a blank canvas by removing personal items, like pictures, awards, and sentimental belongings. It’s also a good idea to remove any excess furniture to help the rooms feel bigger and make sure there’s ample space for touring buyers to stand and look at the layout.
