Prepare your home to be marketed


You want to take a step back and look at your house. You want to look at like you are a prospective buyer.

  • What about your home is most appealing to you? (highlight those items)
  • What about your home is the most unappealing or needs the most work? (concentrate in these items)
  • It is very important that you do not make the home available for showings until after the preparation work is done. Most buyers can't envision the kitchen with outdated wallpaper, or the living room with worn carpet.
