If you’re planning to sell your home, here are some tips to help you prepare:

1. Declutter

   (Remove personal items such as family photos, memorabilia, and other items that may distract potential buyers. This will help them envision themselves living in the space.)

2. Deep clean

   (Pay attention to details, including baseboards, windows, and carpets.)

3. Make repairs

   (Fix any minor issues such as leaky faucets, broken tiles, or damaged walls.)

4. Fresh Paint

   (There may be a room or some moldings that need a fresh coat of paint.)

5. Stage your home

   (This can help it sell faster and for a higher price. Consider hiring a professional stager or doing it yourself.)

6. Curb appeal

   (Create that first impression. Consider fresh paint for the door. Potted plants, mowed lawn and trimmed hedges)

7. Find your Real Estate Company. Make sure your agent is licensed with the local Board of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors.
