There are three simple, inexpensive things you can do to increase the value of your home and ensure that you get the most amount of money from your home sale.  1. Get rid of the clutter. This is one of the hardest and most time-consuming things to do but it will net you more money from your home sale in the end. Take all of the belongings that you don’t need or use and put them in storage, throw them away, or give them away. Decluttering will make your home look a lot more spacious to buyers.  2. Improve the lighting in your property. Take down the drapes, clean the windows, and increase the wattage of your lightbulbs so that the property looks its absolute best.  Do not make unnecessary upgrades or completely renovate your home before selling. 3. Don’t overimprove your home. One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is making unnecessary repairs or renovations to the home thinking that they will get a huge return. In the end, quick fixes and small touch-ups are always better than a mammoth makeover.  These three simple things will help you get more money for your property. Remember, it’s not just about making your house look expensive; it’s about making the most money on the sale of your property.  If you have any other questions about preparing your home for the market, give me a call or send me an email.
