I'm ready to put my house on the market...what do you think I should fix?

Getting your home ready for the market is one of the most important things you can do. Your home only have a few weeks as a “fresh” home on the market so you want to impress buyer’s right out of the gate. While each home is unique and different, there are a few pointers we can recommend to get you started. First and foremost, remove the clutter. The best investment you can make is getting a storage unit. When buyers see clutter, they can’t picture themselves in your home. Remove family pictures, clear off the counters and remove cluttered furniture. It will make your home appear larger and help the buyer see their future in your home.


Some other things you can do to get your home ready include servicing the major systems. One of the most common repairs requested are for the HVAC systems. Making sure these are cleaned and running properly will save you costly repairs in the end. Also, if your home is colorful, consider painting it a neutral color to appease all tastes and replacing carpet if it shows major wear and tear. All of these will help the buyer feel that the home has been well taken care of and give them a warm and fuzzy about the home. This will help your home compete well against the other homes on the market.
