Thinking about selling in 2015

If you are wanting to sell your home now is the time to start preparing to list it for a spring market. Take the next couple of months and declutter, organize and spruce up your home. Here are some tips to help get you moving in the right direction. 

• Work on one room at a time. 
• Clean out cabinets, closets, storage areas, etc. 
• The 3 box system works well for most people.
•  Keep, Donate, Discard. 
• On the items you decide to keep, if they are not items you use everyday consider placing them in a moving box and labeling. Then store these boxes in a basement area or garage. This will help to cut down on clutter. By labeling you can always get to the item quickly if needed.
• Once you decide on items to keep in the home, organization cabinets, drawers and linen closet shelves with baskets, etc. 
• For bathroom items that you use daily keep a basket under the sink, when we call with a showing appointment you can quickly place items in the basket inside the bathroom cabinet. 
• Same goes for children's toys. Place a laundry basket inside their closet for all those small toys and stuffed animals. 
• Take a good look at the inside of your home. Clean windows, light fixtures, ceiling fans. Wipe down baseboards. Use a magic erasure for scuff marks on walls and floors. Touch up paint if needed. Freshen up trim with a coat of white paint.
• Scrub outside of doors and window trim. Replace any broken windows. 
• Give the landscaping some attention. New pine straw or mulch, weed flower beds, trim shrubs, etc.
