Before you’re ready to list your home, there are a lot of tweaks you can make so it will really shine for potential buyers. Here are 5 FREE adjustments you can make to your home without breaking the bank.
- De-clutter: this one is essential and free! Put away or get rid of anything that’s not totally necessary on tables, in closets, in kitchen cabinets everywhere. Personal items distract buyers and often prevent them from imagining the house as their own. Also the less you have in your home, the bigger it will feel to potential buyers. Plus it’s much easier to keep clean between showings, making life easier for you during this busy time.
- Scrub everything down from top to bottom. Some good ol’ fashioned elbow grease will make a huge difference in the way your home looks to prospective buyers.
- Move furniture and other items away from the windows. Make sure all natural sunlight can get in uninhibited. Bright, sunny spaces are extremely appealing to many buyers.
- Arrange items in odd groupings 3, 5, or 7 items on a bookshelf draws the eye more than evenly-pair groupings. It sounds odd, but it’s true!
- Consider placing a small mirror in your living room it’ll add artful dimension to the room. Just make sure it reflects something visually appealing, not the ceiling.
