How Should You Prepare Your Home for the Market?

Before putting your home on the market, you need to improve
the level of quality within that home. Here’s how you can do
that.

What should you do to your house before putting it on the
market?

Some people like to give an allowance for items that need to be
fixed in their home instead of actually fixing these items, but
this is a mistake. I’m in and out of homes with buyers each and
every day and I’ve never had one get excited about an
allowance. 

Buyers get excited about the level of quality within the
home. This includes features like granite counters and new
carpeting and whether the house looks good, feels good, and smells
good. These are the big-picture items you want to make sure are
taken care of before putting your house on the market. Remember—you
live in your house one way, but put it on the market another
way.

A few weeks ago, I met with a client and helped them narrow
down a list of things they thought they needed to improve in their
home to five or six major things that would actually influence a
buyer’s decision. What kinds of things influence a buyer’s
decision? Right now, buyers in our market are looking for
upgrades and want their houses move-in ready. 

Whether you’re looking to sell your house next week, next month, or
next year, it’s time to get it ready to sell. If you have any
questions about what you should do to your home before putting it
on the market, give me a call. I’d be happy to speak with
you!
