Step 1: Declutter and depersonalize

The first step is to declutter and depersonalize your home. This means removing any unnecessary furniture, clutter, or personal belongings.

Potential buyers want to be able to visualize themselves living in your home, so you need to make sure it's clean, spacious, and inviting.

Get rid of anything that you don't use or need and put away any personal items so they can visualize themselves living in the home.

Step 2: Make repairs and upgrades

Next, you need to make any repairs or upgrades that are needed. This includes things like fixing leaky faucets, painting the walls, or updating the light fixtures.

Even small repairs can make a big difference, so take the time to fix anything that's broken or outdated.

Step 3: Stage your home

Once your home is decluttered and repaired, it's time to stage it. This means arranging your furniture and décor in a way that makes your home look its best.

You want to create a sense of flow and space and highlight the best features of your home. There are many resources available online and in books that can help you stage your home effectively.

Step 4: Clean your home thoroughly

Finally, you need to clean your home thoroughly. This includes cleaning the floors, walls, ceilings, appliances, and fixtures.  Please don't forget Ceiling fans and baseboards! That's horrible when looking at a house.

You may also want to hire a professional cleaning service to give your home a deep clean.

Step 5: Get professional photos taken

High-quality photos are essential for selling your home. They should be well-lit and staged to make your home look its best.

You can hire a professional photographer or use your trusted Realtor as a resource, more than likely they have their photographer on speed-dial!

Step 6: Set a fair price

Do your research to determine a fair asking price for your home. You don't want to price your home too high, or you'll risk losing potential buyers.

By following these 6 simple steps, you can get your home ready to sell in no time. So what are you waiting for? Start decluttering today!
