- Declutter and depersonalize, potential buyers want to be able to imagine themselves living in your home, so it’s important to remove any personal items, such as family photos or overly personalized decor. This also means decluttering and getting rid of any unnecessary items to make your home feel more spacious.
- Make any necessary repairs, minor repairs, such as fixing leaky faucets or replacing cracked tiles, can make a big difference in the overall impression of your home. It shows potential buyers that your home has been well-maintained.
- Neutralize the decor, while you don’t need to strip your home of all personality, it’s important to keep decor and color choices neutral. This helps buyers to focus on the features of your home and envision how they would decorate it themselves.
- Deep clean your home, a clean home is essential for making a good impression on potential buyers. This means cleaning every nook and cranny, including carpets, windows, and appliances.
