Prepare the Property

When getting ready to put your property on the market, there are many ways to elevate its appeal and make a lasting impact on potential buyers.

Curb Appeal

A well manicured landscape will make a great first impression on buyers before they even step inside. If seasonally appropriate, accent your yard with colorful plants and flowers. If it’s the wrong time of year for plantings, make sure gardens and flower beds are clean and freshly mulched.

Repairs and Upgrades

Simple repairs can brighten up your property and have a huge impact on its overall appeal. Getting ready to list your property is the perfect time for fresh paint, polished cabinet and door hardware, new light bulbs and other minor repairs you may have been putting off.

Housekeeping and Staging

Your property should be clean and uncluttered before and throughout the selling process. It is recommended that the carpets and windows be cleaned. It’s important to pay attention to the details. Before each showing, make sure cleaning supplies and pet products are out of sight and add a vase of fresh flowers near the entryway. Your agent will scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve the staging of your property.

Disclosures and Inspections

Completing the appropriate inspections and having a disclosure statement prepared prior to listing your property will impress buyers and make showings more productive. A properly developed disclosure statement will be beneficial to both parties and buyers will appreciate that inspections such as termite and pest inspections have already been done.

Showtime

Buyers will typically feel more comfortable discussing your property with the agent if you aren’t there. An experienced agent will understand and provide the information which will be most valuable in representing your interests when speaking with prospective buyers. Presenting your property is a task we will take care of for you.
