There are probably already many things on your to-do list as you’re preparing to sell your home in Orange County. Here are some tips to help you make your home sell fast and stand out.
Think Objectively.
You will need to think about your home objectively and in a buyer’s perspective when preparing it for potential home buyers. This may be hard as a homeowner, but taking generic photos of your home’s interior and exterior features may help you picture your home objectively.
Start with the Exterior.
The exterior of your home is important when it comes to appealing to a buyer. The way your home looks on the outside is what brings buyers to your home as well as entice them into going inside to check out the home. Consider trimming the trees, mowing the lawn and even getting a fresh paint job for the home and the front door to freshen up the outside look of your home.
Declutter Your Home.
Potential home buyers like to see spacious homes so that they can envision how they can fill up the space and decorate the space as their own. It would be difficult for them to picture their own layout in your home if the rooms were cluttered with someone else’s’ personal belongings. So before any potential buyers goes on a tour in your home, make sure to organize and declutter all the rooms in your home as much as you can. A smart strategy for decluttering is packing up half of your household belongings before listing your home. This includes anything that you don’t use everyday as well as any personal pictures and knick knacks.
Stage Your Home Strategically.
Whether you have a small home or a big home, staging your home and utilizing the space strategically will make your home stand out to potential buyers because attention to details and a willingness to go the extra mile can make all the difference.
Think Outside the Box.
This is where you can get creative with putting out decorations, playing around with furniture placement, and overall making your home more appealing. Homes with a clean, stylish, and uncluttered look with generic modern decor is what most buyers look for. Make sure to pay attention to how your kitchen space is staged. The kitchen is typically one of the rooms in the home that potential buyers get excited over, which entices them to complete the sale. Try making your kitchen unique by adding new paints, elegant features, and sleek decor to the space.
Ask a Friend for Honest Advice.
Since it is your home, it may be hard for you to see the home for what is really is even if you are thinking in a buyer’s perspective. A smart idea would be to ask a friend for an honest opinion of your home. Ask a friend to come through your home and point out all the things that could raise red flags for potential buyers.
