So you are thinking about putting your home on the market and you want to make sure that you’re going to get the best return on your investment. These tips should help. I know selling homes is second nature to me as I have been doing it for several years. And I work with sellers all the time who are nervous because maybe they haven’t sold a home in over 10 years, and of course they should be as it’s a big deal to sell your home.

Well, let’s talk about curb appeal. It’s important as it’s the first impression that your buyer will see when they arrive at your home. One of the best things that you can do is rent a powerwasher or have someone come and do the powerwashing for you. Either way, you want to wash years of dirt off your driveway, off your sidewalk, and off your home.

You also want to pay attention to the front door. As an agent, it takes a few seconds for me to open a lockbox (and sometimes longer as my clients will tell you – I always say it’s the hardest part of my job hah!) and this gives a chance to really look at your entryway while they are waiting to get in. Take a moment to make sure that there isn’t any paint peeling off of the doors or cobwebs around the lights.

Next, make sure to work with your agent on staging your home. 77% of buyers agents say that staging a home makes it easier for buyers to visualize themselves living in it. And staging will help your home stand out against the competition by showcasing the very best features of your home to your buyers. Also, researchers say that professionally staged homes can sell for as much as 10% more than homes that are not staged. And the good news is, here at Kimberly Crouch Realty, we can help you with the staging.

Also the marketing is essential. You’re going to want to make sure you get professional photos done and professional video. According to the National Association of Realtors, 67% of buyers will walk through a home that they saw online. So professional photos and video are an absolute must when preparing to sell your home.

Lastly now that your home is all ready for buyers, you must have a showing plan. Buyers and their agents may request a showing of your home at any time without giving you much notice so you have to be prepared. Until your home is under contract it’s important to be able to leave your home at a moments notice if need be, and leave it uncluttered and clean. A few things you can do is plan simpler meals for easy clean up and make plans for some outdoor activities.

Also, find a place to put your pets during showings. Maybe family or a good friend can take care of them.

These tips will help to get your home sold faster and for the most amount of money. For more information feel free to call us – I’m Kimberly Crouch with EXP Realty, authentic coastal luxury at every price point.
