In the meantime, here are a few great tips on how you can get top dollar for your home:
- Follow the three C’s –
- Cleanliness: deep clean all interior, clean windows & doors, power-wash exterior.
- Clutter Reduction: Remove and pack up the majority of knickknacks and family photos from tabletops and shelves—also from the front and side of the refrigerator.
- Color: Neutrals from the warm end of the palette are most appealing.
- Highlight your homes architectural features by using hi-gloss whites/creams or contrasting warm neutrals on trim, built-ins, unique ceilings, and whatever else makes your home charming and special.
- Re-arrange furnishings to emphasize clear pathways (unobstructed by furniture) and create conversation areas that are cozy, balanced, and within comfortable speaking range. Rent a storage unit to store extra furniture and belongings, if necessary.
- Clean out closets—pack it up and send it to the storage unit, or a charity—to create a feeling of spaciousness in all.
- Add live plants, leave on lights (during showings) and keep the blinds/curtains open.
- Depending on your budget, consider the following (in order of importance)—
- Minor landscaping: fresh mulch, trim shrubs/trees, add 2 big red or black pots of red flowering plants by the front door.
- Update paint.
- Update fixtures.
- Traces of food, pet and smoking odors can kill buyer interest, and alert them to look for associated damage. Put away the clues (animal food dishes, ashtrays, etc.). Consider keeping the pet outdoors and smoking outdoors until the home is sold—and use fans while cooking.
