Trying to decide whether or not to list your home can be a HUGE decision. Before you list your home there are a lot of things you can do that will help your home not only sell but sell quicker and for a better price. On average, sellers can see a $10,000 to $15,000 increase in sale price just by cleaning up their home and making it look more appealing to buyers.
Here are just a couple ideas on ways you can spruce up your home:
- Depersonalize your home (take down family picture, knick-knacks, etc.)
- Touch up wall paint (make sure all colors are neutral)
- Clean carpets, tile, grout, etc.
- Clean up exterior of home (trim trees, mow lawns, weed garden beds, etc. )
- Clear out all extra furniture (arrange to make rooms look bigger)

(About half-way down the page is the Home Enhancement Check List. Feel free to view other links for good seller information though. ☺)
Don’t be frightened after reading the full checklist and DO NOT think you have to complete everything on the checklist in order for your home to sell. I suggest picking out only two or three items under each category and try to tackle them. See what applies best to your home and go from there. If you think you can do more go ahead! Your home doesn’t have to be perfect but the cleaner and more marketable you make it the happier you will be with the results.
