Now is the perfect time to get the home ready for the new year! Even if you plan on selling your Lake of the Ozarks home in the near future, it will still need to be looking sharp for showings. Since you'll likely be indoors more during the winter months, this can be an advantageous time to prepare your lake home to be listed with the Fran Campbell Team! If you've got a "to-do" list in mind but aren't sure where to start. Where are 4 essential tips for prepping your home for sale.
Declutter
The ideal home will not be cluttered. It will be spacious, offering the viewer an opportunity to envision themselves in the home. If the home is still stuffed with personal items and other decors, it can keep them from seeing themselves and their lifestyle in the home. Throwing out unused items, organizing closets and cabinets, and packing the valuables or memorabilia away into designated storage space out of the home is an effective way to declutter your home.
Deep Clean
Giving your home a deep clean is essential for giving it that "turnkey" look that buyers love so much. You may have to think outside of the box of your typical cleaning routine to ensure that every nook and cranny is spotless. This can be a tedious and time-consuming task and many people opt to hire a professional cleaning service to get their home looking its best. We have some exceptional and trustworthy professional cleaning service here at the Lake that would be happy to help you prepare for listing!
Fresh Sights & Smells
The senses have a large impact on a buyer's interest in purchasing a home. Appealing to their senses by having a fresh, clean appearance and smells can help entice a potential buyer and could be the reason that keeps them from choosing another property. The deep clean should certainly help with much of the sight and smells. However, consider fresh paint, stains, and perhaps baking cooking or candles to enhance the visuals and scents that fill your home.
Staging
Staging is very important. It can help the viewers' imagination when envisioning themselves living in your home. Each room layout should portray some sense of functionality. Be sure to highlight the best features of the room, certain elements of a room could be the "must-have" for potential buyers. Showcasing the highlights of your home helps to focus their attention on those items, which are great selling factors when it comes to negotiations.
