So you’ve put your house on the market. It is important to get your home together before you get inundated with potential homes in Roswell NM buyers stopping by during open houses. Check out the four hacks below to get your home prepared to sell quicker.

1. Spruce up the curb appeal of your home – The outside of your home is the first thing potential buyers will notice. Slap a fresh coat of paint on the front door, put out a new welcome mat, add flowers to the walkway, pressure wash the front porch, walkway and steps, and wash the windows of your home. This will help to give your home a renewed look and attractive entryway to hopefully make buyers feel at home when they pull up. Don’t forget to hang flowers or to put out a fresh potted plant at the front door on the day of your open house to welcome buyers into your home.
2. Declutter and organize your home – Too much clutter will make your home look messy and unorganized. And that’s the last picture you should be presenting to buyers. Give your home a deep cleaning and declutter it in the process to get it organized. Clear off countertops, clear out closets, remove most items from cabinets, bookshelves, etc. Buyers want to see how much storage and space they’ll be working with and don’t want to see your belongings in the process.
3. Repaint the inside – It’s known that buyers prefer neutral colors over bold colors. If you have walls in your home painted in bold colors we suggest repainting them to a warm, neutral color. This will make the room look brighter and roomy.
4. Get rid of the personal items – All personal items should be removed from the inside and outside of your home. This means the kids and pets toys, seasonal décor, flags of your home country or favorite sports team, family photographs, knick-knacks, and souvenirs should be put away. The goal is to have potential buyers envision themselves in your home. Having all of your personal items displayed will not help them be able to see themselves in your home. In turn this could cause them to continue looking at homes in Roswell NM instead of purchasing yours.

We hope these tips will help you prep your home for sale. What hacks would you add to this list?
