The home selling process can be stressful at times. It requires a bunch of cleaning and other preparations before opening the doors for others to examine the property. 

With all the moving parts of the home selling journey, it’s essential to plan ahead to control circumstances within your power to ensure a worry-free home selling experience. 

Take the lead with a pre-listing home inspection

Even though home inspections are a standard part of the home selling process on the end of a buyer, getting a pre-listing home inspection can save you time and prevent possible blocks on the road to getting your home sold. 

A pre-listing inspection can alert you to areas in your home in need of repair such as sinks, wood flooring, vent systems and more. 

Getting these fixed ahead of time can prevent stalling from buyers and lets your property glow without distractions.  

Increase curb appeal

Increasing the curb appeal of your home can do wondering in boosting the perceived value of the property, which in turn could make you more profit.

Projects to beautify the exterior of your home include but are not limited to: 

  • Repainting the exterior of your house.
  • Making sure the grass is manicured.
  • Planting flowers and trees. 
  • Fixing cracks in the driveway. 

Hire a professional staging company 

Hiring a professional staging company can increase the allure of your home by making it warm and welcoming while still maintaining a neutral atmosphere. Professional stagers can move furniture in ways to keep the space open and bright. 

Taking time to plan before listing your home can help you find areas in need of improvement in which you can act on to boost the value of your home. If you need assistance, consider speaking with a real estate professional to identify pain points.
