In the meantime, we’ve prepared a list of the top 5 insider tricks that we have discovered have helped our clients successfully sell their homes.

Top 5 Tricks:

5. Don’t over upgrade- Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your money back if you do a huge improvement project before you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh coat of paint on the walls, replace door handles, make sure closet doors are on track, fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.

4.Take the home out of your house- One of the most important things to do when selling your house is to de-personalize it. The more personal stuff in your house, the less potential buyers can imagine themselves living there. Get rid of a third of your stuff – put it in storage. This includes family photos, memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes.

3. It’s all about the kitchen- You’re not actually selling your house, you’re selling your kitchen – that’s how important it is. The benefits of remodeling your kitchen are endless, and the best part of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your money back. It may be a few thousand dollars to replace countertops where a buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking price if your kitchen looks dated. The fastest, most inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new cabinet hardware. Use a neutral-color paint so you can present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start envisioning their own style. And if you have a little money to spend, why not upgrade the fridge to a stainless steel model? Why just the fridge? Because when potential buyers see one expensive appliance, they assume all the rest are too!

2. Always be ready to show- Your house needs to be “show-ready” at all times – you never know when your buyer is going to walk through the door. You have to be available whenever they want to come see the place and it has to be in tip-top shape. Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the dishwasher cleaned out, the bathrooms sparkling and make sure there are no dust bunnies in the corners. It’s a little inconvenient, but it will get your house sold.

1. First impressions are the last impression- You’re mother was right; you never have a second chance to make a first impression! Making a good first impression is so essential we can’t stress it enough! In fact, most potential buyers have already made a judgment on your house before they even walk through the front door. You want to make them feel warm, welcomed and safe, so fix up the exterior of your home with some inexpensive shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Money spent on curb appeal is never wasted. Entryways are also important and are easily jazzed up with a vase of fresh flowers or even some yummy cookies!
