The long answer: Talk to your Lake City Realtor for a long time.
How Much Work Do You Need to Do to Prep Your Home for Sale?
Don’t let the thought of cleaning up and prepping your house for sale stress you out too much. There’s usually a lot less to do than most owners think.
The basics:
- Make sure your house is immaculately clean. You can hire a cleaning company for a one-time cleaning or you can do it yourself. The key is maintaining it well, so before a showing, run through the house and pick up clutter, dust and vacuum.
- Make sure your house is staged. Take out half your furniture, take down eclectic décor and family photos, and arrange what’s left so it appeals to the widest possible range of buyers.
- Make all the repairs before you list. Dripping faucets, wonky light switches and burned-out bulbs all need some TLC before you put your house on the market.
Your Realtor will walk you through everything you need to do to get the home showing-ready, so don’t stress over it – it’s not that hard!
