Setting the right price and creating some curb appeal is crucial for attracting buyers, but it's the details that will get you an offer. Exit Realty Upper Midwest, residential and commercial real estate experts serving Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota, are here with some tips for getting your house ready to sell fast.

How to make selling your house fast and easy:

• Adjust the lighting: Just changing out your bright white light bulbs for a softer glow will invoke a charming, more home-like atmosphere, while hiding any small imperfections in walls and floors. Yellowish or reddish light bulbs will go a long way toward making your house feel like a home.
• Clear the windows: Nothing is as flattering as natural light. Clean your windows, remove heavy drapes, and trim back any trees or brush that could be blocking the sun. You want your house to feel light and airy.
• Clean everything: Over the years, your light switch plates and outlet covers fade, yellow, and attract dirt. Clean them or switch them out, along with your faucet fixtures and kitchen hardware.
• Put out the welcome mat: In fact, get a new one, and invest in some new house numbers. Clean any dirt and grime off of your front door. Better yet, repaint it to create a bright, welcoming feeling before the buyers even come through the door.
