Coldwell Banker Boyd & Hassell Realtors have released a checklist of the top things that home sellers need to address before putting their house on the market.
We at Coldwell Banker Boyd & Hassell have published a guide entitled '10 Things To Know When Selling A House,' which sheds light on the most important steps to take when preparing to put your home up for sale. The complete guide can viewed at https://www.cbbh.com/selling-your-house
A few examples to consider from our guide can be found below.
One of the most important things to consider is that buyers look closely at homes, particularly at bathrooms and kitchens, and you'll have a difficult time successfully listing your house without first taking the time to give it a thorough clean. Make the living areas spacious by removing excess furniture and clutter. And don't forget the basement, attic or garage.
Another is the curb appeal of your house. It doesn't matter how good the inside of your house looks because buyers have already evaluated your home before they walk through the door. Remember the importance of first impressions. Make sure your lawn has been mowed and is tidy. Plant flowers to make the home more pleasing and attractive from the road.
For the interior, fresh paint can make a world of difference in the appearance of your house. A well-done, no-frills paint job is all you need. Paint white or beige surfaces and repaint any walls that have unusual colors. Paint the front door and any external trim.
After location, good light is the next essential thing which every buyer points out that they want in the house. Replace new bulbs for the proper lighting for particular areas of your home. Remove heavy drapery and window coverings that make the area feel dark and heavy. Having bright, sunny rooms will go a long way in helping to sell your house.
Also, make sure to repair or replace any broken or obsolete hardware in your home. For example, you can put in new door handles, taps, towel bars and curtain rods. Basically any type of fixture that is clearly visible to potential buyers.
