Seller’s Checklist

No one has a more important role in the home selling process than you. Sometimes a little effort can go a long way. The goal is to make your home a place that strangers want to stay in. Follow this guide to contribute to your home’s successful sale.

MAINTENANCE

Loose handles, squeaky doors and small dents in the walls are small things, sure, but you’d be surprised by the negative effect it can have on a buyer. They may wonder what else could be wrong with the house. If there are any major issues, schedule an appointment now, then start tackling the small things.

CURB APPEAL

Make sure the first thing prospective buyers see
of your home entices them to want to see more. Keeping the lawn green and mowed is just the beginning. By investing some effort in relatively easy fixes like planting colorful flowers and repainting your front door, the outside of your house can beckon them to come in.

DE-CLUTTERING

Less is more when it comes to getting your house ready to show. Do a clean sweep of counters, windowsills, tables, and all visible areas in every room. If the house is over owing with stuff, even in closets and cupboards, buyers might worry that the house won’t have space for their own belongings.

DEPERSONALIZE IT

Remove distractions so the buyers can visualize themselves and their family living in the property. Things like family photos or bold artwork may make your home less appealing to the general public. Repaint your bold accent wall a light neutral color. If a buyer is distracted by your choice of color, they lose interest in your home. The goal is to create a blank canvas so buyers can envision themselves living there.

SHOW IT OFF

Keep the home at a comfortable temperature. Open curtains and turn on accent lights. You might consider buying healthy plants, a bouquet of flowers or bowl of fruit for the kitchen counter. Plants create a more welcoming environment and bring life to any space.

SMELL TEST

Foul odors, even slight ones, can be a deal breaker, and the problem is that you might not even notice them. Invite an unbiased third party in to detect any pet smells or lingering odors in your home. If the smells are pervasive, time to do some deep cleaning, buyers know your masking techniques like candles or air fresheners.

CLEAN THREE TIMES

You want your property to sparkle. Clean appliances inside and out. Remove fingerprints from doors, walls and any stainless steel appliances. Dust and vacuum the entire house. Make your home look like it’s effortless to keep shiny.

HIDE VALUABLES

From art to jewelry, make sure that your treasures are out of sight, either locked up or stored off site.
