3 Budget-Friendly Tips to Prep Your Home for Sale!

3 Budget-Friendly Tips to Prep Your Home for Sale!

December 20, 2019 Posted by Giselle Bartolo Home Decor, Tips for Sellers

Help your home get the attention it deserves with tips that won’t break the bank!

When you decide to list your home for sale, you want to be sure that you’re putting it’s best foot forward while still staying on budget. Below, you’ll find our top 5 tips for getting your home market-ready without breaking the bank!

1. Declutter, Declutter, Declutter!

Unleash your inner Marie Kondo! No matter how great your style is, buyers aren’t touring your house to see your decor – they want to envision their own furniture in a space they may one day be calling home. Get ahead of the curve by taking down personal items like family photos, removing bulky window treatments, and slimming down how many pieces of furniture are in each room to let a space speak for itself.

2. Give Your Home a Spring Cleaning

Whether it’s summer, fall or winter, when you decide to list, breaking out the Windex is always in season! Before you have photos taken, Swiffer and vacuum your floors (especially if you’re a pet-owner!), give your bathrooms a good scrubbing, and wipe down those counter tops. Got a tricky stain situation? Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for marks on walls that won’t budge.

3. Add Some No Big Deal Curb Appeal

Your home’s exterior is often the first thing a buyer will see, so don’t let a tired-looking facade prevent them from wanting to see what awaits inside! Liven up your home’s look with a fresh coat of paint for your front door, a nicely trimmed lawn, and if you’re in season, grab a few potted plants to put out front. Want a quick way to modernize? Pick up some new, modern house numbers in silver or black for a sleek finish.
