Real estate agent

 

Ready to put that "For Sale" sign out on the front of your home? Selling your home requires much more effort than you realize.

So before you put your home up on the market, check out this list of tips to help you get the most cash for your place.

Find A Reliable Real Estate Agent:

While you may think you have the smarts needed to sell your home and, therefore, can save money on real estate agents, it never hurts to speak to a professional.

At Flat Rate Realty, we've seen many transactions go haywire because the owner attempted to carry it out themselves. With our experienced real estate agents, you save time and money.

Our brokers can help you understand the benefits and limitations of your specific market and leverage the opportunities to give you a great deal with buyers.

We'll work day and night to ensure you have a smooth and comfortable selling process without any hiccups. Give us a call at 719-283-9098 to talk to your agent.

Think About Curb Appeal:

Buyers will form their first opinion about your home as soon as they pull up to it. Therefore, you want to ensure you dazzle potential buyers and inspire them to schedule a tour of your home by giving them a view they love.

Invest in a few easy fixes like repainting the front and garage doors, adding plants and flowers, and cleaning windows to create an inviting appearance.

You can also ask your real estate agent for tips on how others in the area have increased their home's market value with cosmetic improvements.

Clean Away The Mess:

When selling your home, you want to show people a picture of how the house would look if they bought it. You can't do that if your living area is cluttered with your own stuff.

Before you open your doors to the public, clean the counters, tables, windowsills, and other visible areas.

Next, clear out trash from closets, cupboards, and drawers as well. If you have excess items, it's best to donate them or pack them for transport.

Depersonalize The Space:

This should be a part of your de-cluttering process. Take away any personal items that distract from the home's look so the buyers can see themselves living in the house.

Before you bring in potential buyers, take down family photos, bold artwork, and other personal items.

You should aim to create a blank canvas that buyers can imagine themselves working with once they're in the home.

Add Plants:

The more green you add to your house, the comfier it will look. Plants help create a more open and welcoming space.

If you don't want to commit to potted plants, you can also bring in a bouquet of flowers or keep a bowl of fresh fruit on a visible tabletop.

These elements will add to the color and freshness your home needs.
