Summer Sellers Checklist


With the summer selling season close by, it may be time to give your property the help it requires to meet today’s buyer needs. Make the most being indoors during these temperatures for some easy fixes that could help your property stick out from the competition, increase its value and sell promptly.

Work with a Real Estate Agent
Start with getting a Free Home Evaluation with a realtor. Search for someone who has some home staging knowledge. Various real estate professionals might have a large network of professionals that can help you stage your household.

Declutter & Organize
Begin dealing with one room at a time by packing up just about anything that will distract customers from seeing the exclusive features of your property. I recommend highly to remove all family photos, newspapers, books, personal collections, family photos, and magazines. Rearrange and take out excessive furniture to make easier and make the room appear bigger.

Repairs & Updates
Ensure everything is in proper working order. Repair and replace broken leaky faucets, shower heads, broken light switches, bulbs, ceiling fans, door knobs, windows, thermostats, etc. I would suggest to update lighting fixtures with modern styles and look at replacing more mature kitchen appliances with slick, eco-friendly models to capture millennial buyer interest.

Renew and Brighten With Paint
Clear away wallpaper and cover strong wall colours with a fresh coat of neutral paint to set the ideal backdrop for basic, updated styling. Make older style kitchen cabinets and wood vanities an instant improvement by covering with bright white or dark espresso paint. After that pair with knobs and drawer handles. Go for a brushed nickel or satin brass for a beautiful finishing touch.

Fresh new Flooring
There may be nothing that dates a space more that worn, dirty carpeting. Take out carpeting to reveal hardwood flooring underneath. This is going to quickly brighten and make the room feel larger. You will find also many a cost-effective, easy to install choices on the market including laminate and vinyl that look and feel just like wood.

Add Storage Selections
The latest buyers are looking for lots of storage. Added storage solutions such as built-in bookshelves, window seats with storage underneath, entry storage units, and extra closet hooks and rods are a useful way to attract fast buyer attention.

Partner With a Professional
Seek advice from with a professional stager that will have an independent vision and understanding of what appeals to today’s stylish buyers. They are going to provide a range of solutions for enhancing your home.
