Boost Your Curb Appeal

First impressions matter. Since spring brings blooming flowers and fresh greenery, use this to your advantage by enhancing your home’s curb appeal.

• Landscaping: Trim hedges, mow the lawn, and add fresh mulch to garden beds.
• Exterior Cleaning: Power wash the driveway, sidewalks, and home exterior.
• Front Door Refresh: A fresh coat of paint on the front door, along with updated house numbers and a new welcome mat, can make a big difference.

Declutter and Depersonalize

Buyers need to envision themselves living in your home. Reduce clutter and create a clean, inviting space.

• Clear Countertops & Surfaces: Store away personal items, paperwork, and excessive décor.
• Organize Closets & Storage Areas: Buyers will check storage space, so keep it tidy.
• Remove Excess Furniture: Open spaces feel larger, so remove unnecessary pieces to improve flow.

Freshen Up the Interior

A bright and airy home feels more inviting to buyers.

• Paint Walls in Neutral Tones: Light, neutral colors make spaces feel bigger and more modern.
• Let in Natural Light: Open curtains, clean windows, and replace dim light bulbs to brighten rooms.
• Deep Clean Everything: Shampoo carpets, polish floors, and wipe down baseboards.

Tackle Minor Repairs

Small fixes can make a big difference in how buyers perceive your home.

• Fix Leaky Faucets & Running Toilets
• Repair or Replace Broken Hardware (Door Handles, Cabinet Knobs, Light Switches)
• Patch Holes & Touch Up Paint
• Ensure All Doors & Windows Open Smoothly

Update Key Rooms: Kitchen & Bathrooms

Buyers focus on kitchens and bathrooms when making their decision. You don’t need a full renovation, but minor upgrades can add value.

• Swap Out Dated Hardware & Fixtures
• Re-grout or Caulk Tile Where Needed
• Refinish or Paint Cabinets for a Fresh Look

Make Sure Major Systems Are in Good Shape

Serious buyers will have inspections done, so stay ahead of any issues.

• Check HVAC System: Replace filters and schedule maintenance if needed.
• Inspect the Roof & Gutters: Address any loose shingles or clogged gutters.
• Test All Appliances & Electrical Outlets

Stage Your Home for Success

Professional staging can help your home sell faster and for a higher price, but even small DIY staging efforts can make a big impact.

• Add Fresh Flowers & Greenery
• Use Light, Airy Linens & Throw Pillows
• Create Cozy, Welcoming Spaces (Like a Set Dining Table or Inviting Living Room Arrangement)
