Our agents understand the importance of first impressions when selling a home. From decluttering personal items to boosting curb appeal, preparing your home for sale helps potential buyers envision themselves living in the space. Check out some of the things our agents think are often overlooked when listing a home for sale in the answers below.
John Carnell
“The front entrance. That first view as a prospective buyer walks to the front door sets the stage of what is to come.”
Rebecca Glazier
“Depersonalizing the home.”
Annie Schweiger
“Not getting a pre-listing inspection and focusing on the interior, not the exterior.”
Jordan Herman
“Cleanliness and clutter. Not just keeping your home simple, but also a super deep clean, especially around the kitchen and bathrooms!”
Logan Weiler
“Declutter, declutter, declutter!”
Jeff & Patti Carroll
“Landscaping. It is the first and last thing you see of the property.” -Jeff Carroll
“Attention to detail and the ability to look at your home from a totally different point of view. Take photos of every room and then dissect them on every level!” -Patti Carroll
Ron Herman
“Cleanliness is number one. Many times, you’ll walk-through a house that is new on the market and notice inconspicuous areas that have not been cleaned. Most commonly baseboards, high and hard to reach areas.”
Dianne Hovermale
“It all starts at your front door, so make sure your door is clean and consider giving it a fresh coat of paint. The next two most important keys to prepping for your home sale is to clean and declutter as much as possible.”
Matt Meyers
“Curb appeal! The way you walk up to a home is just as important as when you arrive inside. It sets the tone for the tour and how the home will ultimately make them feel!”
Joelle Ruefer
“Fixing your lightbulbs. Make sure they are all working AND are the same brightness!”
