Are you thinking of selling your home? It can be a stressful time, and there are many things to think about before you finally list your home on the market. So, what are the most important things to keep in mind before you officially sell your home? This blog will break down the tasks you need to complete before selling your home.
Decluttering and Cleaning
An easy way to prep your home for sale is to take time to declutter and clean up. But, it’s important to remember that some places in your home need to be cleaned that you might not be able to see as easily as crumbs on your floor. Your air ducts should be given a nice clean before listing your home. Dust, dander, and more can be trapped in your air ducts, decreasing your home’s indoor air quality. If left unchecked, poor indoor air quality can have adverse effects on you and your family’s health and the health of the subsequent owners! A team of experts can come in and make sure your air filters are clean and nothing is floating around in your home’s air ducts.
Touch-up
A nice, new coat of paint can go a long way when getting your house market-ready. If you see that some rooms have peeled paint or the trim is a little worse for wear, taking time to fix the paint can add value and appeal to your home. It’s easier to picture living somewhere that looks a little nicer than a place with peeling or cracked paint.
Curb Appeal
The best way to elevate your home and the first impression it can make on a potential buyer is to step up your home’s curb appeal. This means making sure you have a well-kept lawn, your house has a fresh coat of paint, and having clean sidewalks. Another thing that can give your house great curb appeal is taking time to curate a beautiful garden. Some tremendous native Nevada plants that can add a pop of color to your yard are; Western Redbud, White Spruce, or Sticky Purple Geranium.
Depersonalize
The easiest way to be able to sell your home is if you’re able to offer a space that the buyer can picture their lives in. A great way to achieve this result is to take time to empty and clear out your space and stage it in a simple and clean way. By removing your own family’s knick-knacks and photos, you allow whoever is shown the space to start picturing their own life. It can throw some people off to see pictures of your family in the house. By only leaving simple elements in your home, you offer a clean blank slate for the next homeowner.
Repairing and Replacing
When was the last time you made sure your home’s HVAC system was up to date and running as efficiently as possible? If you can’t think of when or are unsure, it’s been too long. Seeking regular maintenance and checkups on your home’s HVAC system is the best way to prevent any major problems from occurring. If your system is over ten years old, is making strange noises, or leaking anywhere, it may be time to call an expert in to get a diagnosis. They can tell you if it is a small quick fix or notify you if the whole system needs to be replaced from your air conditioner to your heater. Also, taking the time to learn about the red flags of an HVAC system will help you ask the right questions in looking for your next home. It will help you know how to spot an HVAC system that is working well or will quit on you when you move in, thus causing you to have to spend money and time repairing it.
