Home Selling Tips

Preparing your home prior to listing can help facilitate a quicker transaction and may help you in receiving the right price. We have compiled some tips to help you get started:

  • Have your home cleaned thoroughly
  • Remove all family photo’s throughout the house
  • Take all magnets etc off of fridge
  • De-clutter your home both inside and out
  • Have carpets professionally cleaned, or replaced if damaged
  • Repair dripping faucets and leaky toilets
  • Touch up all interior paint
  • Replace all burnt out light bulbs and clean all light fixtures and repair faulty switches
  • Cut and edge grass, trim hedges, and weed gardens
  • Paint, fix or wash railings, steps, storm windows, screens and doors
  • Clean out the gutters
  • Wash the windows
  • Tidy up the garage and paint, wash and fix garage doors and windows
  • Did we mention de-cluttering your home? We cannot emphasize enough how important
  • this is, just think of what you want to see when you are on a home search!
Once your home is listed, potential buyers will be visiting your home. Here are some helpful tips for showing your home:

  • Keep pets out of the house (cats are ok if calm demeanour)
  • Put away items in the yard like garden tools, bicycles and toys
  • Leave all of the lights on
  • In the winter, keep heat at a comfortable level - this means warm!
  • De-clutter all surfaces. Clutter is distracting to buyers and can make the space seem smaller
  • Keep money, prescription drugs, and other valuables well out of view and locked away
  • Remove trash from the house and make sure there isn’t a strong smell
  • Open all shades and curtains to let in light
  • Keep radios and TV off—although oftentimes soft music in the background is a nice touch
  • Do not remain in the house or linger in the vicinity! Allow the potential buyers to view the 

    property without having to think about who currently lives there
