How can I sell My Home Faster in Broward County FL
If you’re ready to move, the last thing you want is for the house you are trying to sell to sit on the market. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do quickly and easily that will make your house a more attractive home for its next buyer. Today, Antonio Ortega of Global Luxury Realty shares tips on how to choose home projects that buyers will love.
Keep It Simple
Keeping it simple is not just a mantra for your mental health. It applies to many aspects of life, including the home projects you’ll want to tackle when it’s time to list your house on the MLS. Start with the basics, which include:
● Cleanliness. The cleanliness of your home matters more than you might think. Buyers will absolutely have a preconceived notion about the house if there are Kool-Aid or coffee stains in the carpet, dust bunnies under the bed, and toys scattered everywhere. Remove everything from your home that doesn’t need to be there, and clean like your mother-in-law is coming for her very first visit.
● Security. When it comes to desired amenities, a smart home security system is considered a big plus among interested homebuyers. Although you can hook up a system piecemeal by yourself, such as installing a video doorbell or motion-detector outdoor lighting, complete systems require a bit more expertise, so look for professional installers near you to do the job right. These systems allow the home’s residents to check on alerts or cameras from their smartphones while they’re offsite at work or while on vacation.
● Walls and ceiling. You’ve cleaned the carpet, which is great. Now you need to make the walls and ceiling look like new. Start with a quick coat of paint overhead and then decide if you’re going to paint or wallpaper the walls. Now there is DIY peel and stick wallpaper, which is removable and can be repositioned if you make a mistake. You can also have your wallpaper custom-printed so you can create a truly unique home with a design that is never out of stock. Bonus: You also won’t be stuck with gallons of paint.
● Natural light. Whether they realize it or not, natural light is important to homebuyers. Not only does it reduce energy costs, but a house with ample natural illumination feels better on a psychological level. Make a point to take down the curtains and add mirrors to increase the amount of lighting inside of your home.
● Outdoor space. Everybody loves the summer, and everybody wants a great place to entertain during the warmer months. Make sure that your patio and deck are clean and free of debris. If you plan to pressure wash, DIYNetwork recommends a pressure washer with at least 3,000 PSI for concrete and brick.
Repairs that matter
Making sure your home is clean and aesthetically appealing is only half the battle. You also have to ensure that your systems are in working order and that your home is safe and ready for its next family. A few things to fix before the “For sale” sign is in the yard are:
● Creaky floors. Creaky floors are a great indicator of an older home. While some squeaks are expected, quiet down your noisy hardwood by using wooden shims or special repair kits made for the job.
● Missing hardware. While you might not notice a missing handle on that kitchen drawer you never use, buyers will. Make sure that the hardware throughout your home is intact, functional, and matching.
● Visible exterior damage. Damage to the roof, windows, walkway, or yard will be immediately noticeable and can take away from curb appeal. Fix visible issues so that your buyers don’t get turned off before they ever make it into the house. Finding a reliable and insured pro is simplified thanks to online service directories; just use a search engine and read up on customer reviews to get started.
You don’t have to change the entire layout of your home to make it appealing to buyers. But, a few quick projects, such as adding custom wallpaper and fixing noisy floors, will go a long way toward making the property stand out. Although we are still in a seller’s market, you don’t want to get lax about home repairs and renovations. For everything you’re not willing to do, the next seller is. Tackle the list above for a quick and easy sale.
