Quick Ways to Sell Faster

Selling your home can be a hassle. You can do certain things to ensure a quicker process of selling your home. This blog series will help you learn these easy steps to sell your home faster.

Make Sure to Check the Paint

Make sure you touch up any chipped or dirty spots with a fresh patch of paint in that area. Creating an "accent wall" will create an intriguing focal point. Checking the paint on the outside of the house is just as important as the inside. You want them to picture themselves living there. You may not have to paint the whole house but make sure that there are areas that are not left without a surface of matching paint. Giving the fresh layer of paint gives the house a sense of being new/fresh. 

Time to Declutter

Declutter the house before any showings or pictures are taken. You want the buyers to picture themselves in the home, and having clutter isn't inviting. Make sure rooms are tidy with beds made and floors picked up, dressers, etc. Countertops in the bathrooms were cleaned off as well as the kitchen counters. This leads us to our next topic...closets. 

Clean Out the Closets

Don't use the closets as your catchall or hiding place for the clutter. The first thing everyone does when they have a showing is shove everything into the closet so it is hidden and out of site. Most buyers want to see all of the space the house has to offer, closets included. Closets are a big part of the selling process. Buyers want to see if their belongings or both of their stuff will fit into the closet. If you shove everything into the closet, they can't see the space and will be turned away by the clutter.
