STEPS TO SELLING FAST

1. Declutter your 首页. First impressions make a big difference and 买家 need to imagine themselves living in your 首页. The general rule is to get rid of a third of your stuff so start with closets, cupboards and the garage. Can’t part with it? Opt to get a storage unit and stash away all of the seasonal decorations, nostalgic items and gadgets you won’t be using. If you use a portable storing company, you can have it all delivered to your new 首页.

Simple fixes like repairing leaky faucets, replacing light bulbs, replacing war our bedding and drapery, patching holes and fixing doors that don’t open properly will improve the overall look and feel of the 首页.

5. Make the house shine. Make your 首页 warm and inviting by make sure your 首页 shines from top to bottom. Cleaning carpets, windows, mirrors, bleaching grout and sinks, hanging fresh towels, adding a fresh coat of paint and even pressure- washing the outside of the house will help make that great first impression.

6. Stage your 首页. Before your agent has photos taken, take a look at your 首页 with a fresh set of eyes. Hiring a professional stager can often highlight your homes strengths while downplaying it’s flaws. If budget is an issue, consider having a friend walk through (pick one who binges watches all the popular HGTV design shows) and offer ideas on any more decluttering or furniture rearrangement.
