So what do you need to do to make sure your home stands out in the eye of the buyer? Since most showings happen online and well before anyone crosses the threshold, professional pictures and floor plans are some of the best tools for buyers to be able to imagine themselves living in your home. Once the buyer arrives to see the home in person, you want to make sure they are not disappointed. Fresh paint, both inside and out, is the biggest impact improvement for the price. A neutral color pallet appeals to most buyers but if in doubt, skim through home decorating magazines to get ideas. Get to your spring yard work now to lay down fresh mulch and plant annuals and pots to brighten up the entrance. Inside get your carpets cleaned especially if you have pets and make sure every family member is responsible for keeping his/her part of the house picked up and ready for short-notice home showings. Finally, have a home inspector go through the house to point out deficiencies that will likely come up when the buyer has an inspection. Addressing these issues ahead of time presents your home as one that is lovingly cared for and less likely to have problems after they move in.
