Essential Property Selling Advice

Make sure your furniture allows for easy traffic flow and shows the purpose of each room.

When selling your house or property, most people have one goal in mind: get as much money as you can for what you have to offer.

SERVPRO of Southern Trumbull County is here to offer some friendly advice so you can sell your property quickly and get the money you are hoping for!

Curb Appeal Matters

Look at your property from the outside. If you were to drive by, would you want to buy it? Pull out weeds, rake the leaves, and trim large trees and shrubbery, especially if they are blocking windows or paths. A power washing to the outside can also make a big difference.

Paint

Add a fresh coat of paint to the front door, so potential buyers feel like your house screams, “Welcome Home!” Try to use neutral colors to make your home appear brighter, larger, and more appealing to potential buyers.

Minor Repairs

Most people just want to sell their house, “as is.” This can have both pros and cons depending on the type of repairs needed. Potential buyers often overestimate the amount of money required to fix problems. Small fixes such as squeaky hinges, leaky faucets, and old screens can make all the difference in the eyes of the buyer.

Declutter and Rearrange

A clean, clutter free kitchen is a must in home staging. Make sure your furniture allows for easy traffic flow and shows the purpose of each room. Less is more. Pack up personal belongings and photographs. Remember, you are trying to sell your house, not your stuff.

Once everything is shiny and clean, it is time to emotionally let go of the home and let potential buyers inside.
