Prepare to Sell


Ready to sell your home?

We are the way for you to make a successful sale making the highest possible profit

Selling a home, after all, involves a lot more than putting up a “For Sale” sign in your front yard or uploading a few random photos of your home to social media, especially if you want to make the most profit.

So before you sell your home and put it on the market, take a look at this list of things to do in preparation.

Some of these tips are surprisingly easy, while others may require a bit more effort on your part. But they are going to be worth it once buyers visit the property and are motivated to present an attractive offer.

1. Choose us as your Realtor in Atlanta

Do you think you can sell your home for yourself, and earn money that you would otherwise pay an agent? It can be tempting, especially in a hot market, but a “sell by owner” transaction has been found to be almost always a disaster, leading to a sacrifice of both money and time.

2. Everything enters through the eyes

Make sure the first thing potential buyers see of your home attracts them to want to see more. For better or for worse, home buyers tend to value a book by its cover. The facade of your house plays a very important role in attracting the attention of buyers. By investing a little effort in relatively easy arrangements like planting colorful flowers and repainting the front door, mowing the yard, doing a pressure cleaning of the entire exterior, remember your home’s facade is the first contact to invite! buyers to come in!

3. Order

Less is definitely more when it comes to putting your home on the market. Clear up all countertops, tables, and all other visible areas, and then work behind closed doors: cabinets, drawers, and closets — since virtually nothing is off limits to curious shoppers. If the house is overflowing with things, they may worry that the house does not have enough space for their own belongings. Get rid of the unnecessary, donate it, or pack it in an area designed for storage space. The advantage of taking care of this now is that it is one less chore you will have to do when it is time to move out.

4. Depersonalize the space

The next step on your cleaning list? You want to eliminate any distractions so potential buyers can visualize themselves and their family living in the property. Save personal items and family photos, as well as bold artwork and furniture that could make your home less attractive to the owner. general public. The goal is to create a blank canvas on which home hunters can project their own visions of living there, and feeling comfortable.

5. Repaint walls with neutral tones

You might love that orange wall, but is it the least favorite color of buyers? That could be a detour, you are safer with a neutral color because it is rare that someone does not like it, but the other benefit is that a light color allows buyers to imagine what the walls would look like in the color of their choice. ”

6. Cleaning key element

Pay special attention to cleaning the edges, walls and doors, blinds, light connectors, make your house shine clean and look good. Thoroughly clean your home, there should not be a corner uncleaned, customers will look at everything in detail and they will not miss a single one! Emphasize bathrooms and kitchen. The kitchen is a room in which a lot of dirt accumulates, it cleans very thoroughly, the oven, the stove, the hood … it is where there is more dirt and what is most visible and it would not give a very good feeling.

7. Fix the damage

A small thing like fixing a loose handle or changing a tile that is broken will make a big change, sure, but you would be surprised at the negative effect a loose handle or missing bulb can have on a buyer, it can make them stop and think, can you? what else is broken here? Leaky faucets would be a bad impression on prospective buyers, suggesting plumbing problems. Burned out light bulbs could leave shoppers in the dark. Fixing these little things does not cost so much, because of these things you can even lose the potential buyer and that is what we do not want. As a general rule, when people hear about renovations, they panic because, of course, someone who buys a house wants to go in and do nothing for at least a while.

8. Add some plants

Green is good, because plants create a more welcoming environment. You may also want to consider flower arrangement or a fruit basket to put on your kitchen counter or dining room table.

9. Perform an olfactory test

Bad odors, even mild ones, can be a deal breaker, and the problem is that you may not even notice them, Recommend us to invite an unbiased third party to try and detect any lingering pet odors or odors from your kitchen, or even the smell of burning wood from the fireplace. If the odors are pungent, you may need to do a little deep cleaning, because many buyers are into their “masking techniques” such as candles or plug-in room deodorizers. A good smell creates a cozy atmosphere, candles that smell good, it is very nice to enter a house that smells good
