85 Things Not to Neglect When Selling Your House

Nicole Serviss, RE/MAX Elite

When you put your home on the market, it needs to be immaculate. It needs to have all of the positive aspects that attract buyers. These days, it simply isn’t enough to just take care of basic repairs and cleaning. Your home needs to be presented in a light that gets buyers to imagine all the possibilities. You need to make them dream.

Take care of every little repair and do whatever is in your power to make your home desirable on the first day you show it, not the last. Your home must be clean, neutral, and spacious.

Every room needs to be “staged,” with lighting and arrangements that show off its features. If you miss any of these steps, you risk losing that potential buyer. And once you lose that chance at a great first impression, you might lose any chance of selling it for a decent price.

It’s a long list but if you do take the time to take care of your home, you will see the results.

This list works great for those of you thinking of selling your home FSBO (For Sale By Owner). If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out here.
