Now that you have decided to put your Houston home on the market and the overwhelm is settling in and you’re asking yourself, “Where do I start?” Here are a few guidelines to follow to get your home sold faster and for more money. Hi, I’m Natasha Carroll with Natasha Carroll Realty, and I’ve helped sellers in Cypress, Houston, Katy, Texas, and the surrounding areas to sell their homes, and I can definitely understand overwhelm. I have found that by having a plan to follow, you can better prepare your home for those house-hunters.
The first thing you can do is a big one, and everyone needs to do it in some manner, and that is to declutter and deep clean 🧹 your home. This can be a long process but the sooner you start, the better it will be. Take a really good look at each room and pack up anything that you won’t need for the next few months. This includes any personal items including pictures 🖼️. And remember, you’ve got to move stuff anyways. So, why not start now? Next, you want to make sure that your home is spick-and-span clean. By decluttering and cleaning your home, it will look much bigger and much brighter to the future buyers. Also, when a buyer sees a dirty home, they feel that the home may not have been well-kept and we don’t want to give buyers any reason to look anywhere else.
Help your home shine 🌟 to prospective buyers by polishing any of the hardware like the door knobs or the handles, the cabinets, and making sure those floors shine by deep cleaning the grout. You also want to finish any of those little projects that you had started but didn’t get around to finishing them and being sure that the structural or mechanical items are working and in order and ready for inspections. That will be items like your air conditioning , your water heater, things like that. If your home hasn’t had a fresh coat of paint on those walls for a while, you may want to consider painting your home as well.
Although you may really like the purple kitchen, it may make your kitchen look like a cave to a prospective buyer. These are some great tips for you to help work on the inside of your home. I want you to think about creating a great first impression, which brings me to curb appeal. These steps will help you in selling your home faster and for more money.
