4 Great Tips to Help Sell Your Home Fast

Preparation and presentation are vital in boosting your home’s value and helping you to sell it quickly. Improvements to curb appeal can increase sales, but interiors remain the critical element.

You can bring in the help of a professional stager or follow these tips yourself to help you sell your home a little quicker before your residential move. 

1. Deep Clean and De-Personalize 

Prospective buyers prefer deep-cleaned houses free of scuffed walls and messy sinks. So, take time to clean every room in your home, and make them shine. Avoid harsh cleaner scents so buyers don’t think you are trying to hide something. Then incorporate pleasant scents like fresh-baked cookies, a gently scented candle, or a diffuser.

Since not everyone has the same decorating tastes, taking down your personal stuff is essential so potential buyers can easily visualize themselves living in that space. 

Create a new canvas for your buyers. Take down any personal photos, certificates, knick-knacks, and anything else that gives the impression that the home is still yours. Also, declutter the counters in the bathrooms and kitchen. 

2. Brighten Up Your Rooms 

When you’re focused on moving into your new house, you might not have much time to devote to staging, but it can make a significant difference. 

Here’s an easy technique to make your house feel welcoming—bring in the light. Since dark spaces can make rooms feel lifeless, it’s essential to open all the blinds on the windows and let the daylight shine in. In addition, turn on all of the lights in your home. If you can, add some mirrors to help reflect the light—making the space appear brighter and more extensive.

Another trick is to replace your towels with crisp, bright white ones. This will give the buyers a spa-like feeling.

3. Stage Specific Areas

For instance, strive for a simple, neutral look in the living and family room spaces. Remove bold artwork or decor pieces that might not appeal to a general crowd. Instead, arrange the area to make it welcoming and unified.

If you have large closets, show them off. Declutter and tidy them and make them seem spacious. Remove excess clothing so the closets look large and not over-packed with stuff.

Ensure that the bedrooms and the primary bedroom, in particular, are clean and inviting. Then, when potential buyers tour your home for a showing, ensure that you have made the beds and remember to remove all the clutter from the nightstands and dressers. 

4. Take Quality Photos

After you stage your home, show it off by taking high-quality photos for marketing. These should highlight the features and beauty of your home inside and out. Again, make sure the images are well-lit, sharp, and well-framed.
