Real estate markets across the country heat up in the spring. This is why many homeowners start thinking about how to prepare their properties while it is still blustery outside. Here are three tips to get your house ready to sell and how your real estate agent can help. 

3 Ways to Get Your Home Ready to Sell 

1. Deep Clean Your Home

You don’t want buyers to see lots of clutter or dingy windows. Focus on deep cleaning your house before you list your property. In addition to decluttering each room, make sure to pay attention to more overlooked tasks, like dusting and polishing. Ask your real estate agent about their overall impressions of the property and what cleaning jobs would make the most impact. 

2. Landscape Your Property 

Your home makes a statement long before prospective buyers walk through the door, so take time in the late winter and early spring to tidy up your landscaping. Trim your trees and rake up dead leaves that may be matted into the grass. You should also make sure bulbs are planted so they can bloom in the springtime. 

3. Request a Pre-Sale Inspection

To avoid surprises like buyer’s requesting complex repairs, schedule a pre-listing home inspection. An expert will go through your home and identify potential issues before they arise. During these visits, inspectors and real estate agents can give advice regarding the most urgent and necessary repairs, as well as any details you may have missed.
