Preparing Your Home For Market

Ready to put your home on the market? There are a few crucial steps you should take before the for sale sign is in the front yard.

The first step in preparing your home for market is decluttering and organizing. When prospective buyers are viewing your listing online, seeing photos of a home that is cluttered can be an immediate turn-off and can lead them to not book a property tour. Next, your Realtor will suggest updates and staging if necessary. Staging a home, either by a professional company or with your own furniture, helps potential buyers envision proper layouts of rooms with their own furniture and creates an emotional connection in which they see themselves living there.

Once the home has been decluttered and staged, professional photos will be taken. Professional photography is a service I provide to all of my sellers, at no cost to you. Bringing in a professional to capture the space guarantees marketing pieces will be eye-catching and entice people into the home. As any professional will tell you, you can’t sell a home without foot traffic.

The last and final step is for the Realtor. I’ll create comprehensive marketing which will include mailers, social media, the MLS, and a custom property website. From there it will be a collaboration in scheduling open houses and tours of your home.
