How to Get Your Home Ready to Sell

We know how stressful selling a home can be, but it doesn’t have to be confusing.  At Ghimire Homes, our agents are here to help you and assist you every step of the way during the whole selling process of your home. To ensure you get the best price for your home, here is a home seller checklist that we can help you prepare for your sale before advertising your home.

Before Listing Your Home

Hire the Right People

With everything on your home seller checklist, finding the time to market, repair, and stage your home might be too much. We recommend hiring a real estate agent to help you sell your home and to give you insight into the market.

Understand Your Home’s Worth

Before slapping a price on your home, contact one of our agents at Ghimire Homes to help you conduct a comparative market analysis (CMA) to figure out your home’s value. Our agents are able to research your local housing market to see what similar homes in the area are selling for.

Prepare Your Home

Whether it’s repairing squeaky floors or replacing them entirely, preparing to sell a home requires initial investments. Make all the necessary repairs and price your home fairly.

Get Your Home Show Ready

  • Refresh the walls:  Changing the paint color is an easy way to breathe new life into your home. It also helps you appeal to a broader range of potential buyers. To be safe, stick with fresh, neutral colors.
  • Be aware of any odors:  Make sure it smells good by opening windows, taking the garbage out regularly, cleaning out pet areas, or setting your furry family members up at a friend’s home.
  • Make valuable upgrades: Updating your home is an important item on your home seller checklist. There’s rarely been a more lucrative time to upgrade your flooring, change out the kitchen backsplash, and update those light fixtures. These small investments can offer large payouts when it comes to pricing your home. 
  • Remove or hide your personal items: By removing family photos and trinkets, you let potential buyers envision their own items in the home. Also, remember to hide any jewelry and valuables. Since you’ll likely have strangers passing through your home when you aren’t there, it’s best to keep your valuables out of sight.

Keep Your Home Show Ready

Potential buyers can come by on short notice, so try your best to keep your home show ready. Here are some simple ways to keep your home looking its best:

  • Make the bed daily.

  • Take the trash out often.

  • Put your things away as you go.

  • Put laundry in the hamper and wash it regularly.

  • Have somewhere to go – a family member or friend’s home – for yourself, kids, or pets if the home is shown last minute.

Stay In the Loop

Keep in touch with your real estate agent or broker and touch base at least every two weeks. If there’s any activity such as an interested buyer or an offer, you’ll want to know about that too. It’s also good to ask your agent for any feedback they might have.
