Get Your Home in Top Shape to Get Top Dollar!

Hello and welcome back to our video blog!

Many people are wondering what they need to do to spruce up their home and make sure it is in peak condition before they put it on the market. To maximize your curb appeal there are many things you can do that will cost you little or no money. These include: keeping the lawn edged and cut, picking weeds and performing other landscaping tasks. Clean and align your gutters. Repair and repaint loose siding and caulking. In Naples, we are at the tail-end of the rainy season, so you should pressure wash the front walkways, driveway, back porch and even the roof. Creating a great first impression to a potential buyer will go a long way in getting the best offer.

Moving to the interior of the house, there are some simple tasks that can be completed to make the property more enticing to buyers. Apply a fresh coat of paint to the walls. Change burnt-out light bulbs and change leaky faucets. Remove clutter and any family pictures to de-personalize the house. You want the buyer to immediately feel like the house could be theirs and it is harder for that to happen when they are constantly reminded of the current tenants.  A stager will do wonders in preparing a home for market by freshening up the presentation of the house.
