Preparing to sell your home or just cleaning up after winter can seem daunting but with these quick tips, focusing on one task at a time, you will be less overwhelmed, and your home will be ready in no time at all.
With spring around the corner your list of things to do is probably getting longer and we all know this can be overwhelming. After playing, or hibernating, through the winter it’s time to get moving and get things spruced up. While waiting for things to dry up outside focus on tidying up inside, such as; donating unused items, organize the kitchen and bathroom cupboards, touch up paint, replace old caulk with a fresh new bead of caulk, be sure all lighting is in good working order (Clear lighting elevates our mood and is welcoming to buyers), and clean the inside windows.
Once the weather has cleared enough to get going on the outside, focus on curb appeal, the front door or porch is a great place to start. Did you know that the front door gives a vital first impression to the home? Fresh paint or touch up to the porch/front door along with a new doormat goes a long way, clean the outside of the windows, rake the yard, fill holes in the siding with caulk and touch up paint where needed, and if you have a patio, create a welcoming feel by scrubbing it and freeing it from clutter. If you have outdoor furniture, arrange it on the patio to give it the warm feel of a comfortable place to entertain. This will give your home a fresh new look for the season whether you plan to stay or sell.
