This blog is part 4 of series.  Click here for the overview. 


Most buyers know that it's the right one within the first few minutes of touring a house.  This is why it is very important to get your house ready to sell.

A Realtor will help make specific suggestions about how to get your house ready for the market.  Here is an overview of what helps prepare your house to be sold.

Curb Appeal
The first impression of the house can go along way.  When you have a sign on the front lawn, people driving by will be evaluating your house's curb appeal.  To help improve your curb appeal, there are  few things you can do: landscaping and cosmetic improvements, including painting. 

Updates
Your Realtor will make suggestions of what customers are looking for in your price range.  This may mean making certain updates to your house.

Declutter 
A rule of thumb for showing a houses is keeping everything clean, bright, and decluttered.  Keep rooms simple and open.  It may be helpful to rent a storage unit to help store extra furniture and appliances.

Make Areas Neutral
Update the inside of your house to neutral colors such as grey and white.  Think broad appeal when deciding what colors to use.
