MOVE OUT AND FIX UP
Buyers want to imagine themselves in a home—and that's
more difficult to do when someone is still living in the house.
When the housing market is unstable, the last thing you want
to do is detract buyers from considering your property. Move
out. Clean and sanitize, targeting all commonly touched
surfaces, furniture, and odors. With today's increased focus
on sanitization efforts, make sure to address these measures
on your online listing. In addition, consider doing the
following to offer the best presentation of your home:
• Make all minor repairs necessary to the house.
• Look at completing all major projects or use them to
reevaluate your home price.
• Landscape outdoor areas.
• Remove all personal items from the home.
• Invest in professional staging.
