What should I do to get my home ready to sell?


Curb appeal is very important.  You have to get people in your house to sell it.
 
Go around the perimeter of the house and move all garbage cans, discarded wood scraps, extra building materials, etc.,

Check gutters and roof for dry rot and moss. Make sure they are swept & cleaned.

Look at all plants. Plants are like children, they grow so fast. Prune bushes and trees. Keep plants from blocking windows:  You cannot sell a house if you cannot see it!

Remove any dead plants, weed all planting areas and put down fresh mulching material.

Keep your lawn freshly cut, edged and fertilized.

Clear patios or decks of all small items, such as little planters, flower pots, charcoal, barbeques, toys, etc.

Check the condition of the paint on your home, especially the trim and the front door. The first impression, or curb appeal, is very important.

IN GENERAL

Try to look at your house through the eyes of a buyer, as though you have never seen it before. This exercise will help you see what needs to be done.
