Preparing to Sell Your Home

Before you put that for sale sign up, there are some basic things every homeowner should do to get the highest price for their house when selling.

1) Curb Appeal - Actually drive by your home as if you are looking to purchase.  How does your home look from the street?  Need to pull a few weeds?  Spending $30 on a few plants and flowers at the local nursery can get you thousands back when you sell.

2) Stage your home. Do you want potential home buyers looking at your photos or your house.  Take down all personal items, this will allow buyers to picture their belongings in the home.  Have as little as possible on those beautiful granite kitchen counters.  Keep the bed made and the house clean.  You never know when the next potential buyer will come through, be prepared.  A clean home that looks good can get more offers and up to 20% more than the exact same home that is cluttered and un-tidy.

3) Ask friends and family for honest feedback and be open to criticism. Be willing to make the changes people suggest.

Just following these couple steps will help you sell your home quickly and at the highest price.  If you are in the market to sell you home in the Las Vegas, Henderson or North Las Vegas area, I will be glad to assist you through the process.  Click here for a home price evaluation.
