Showing your Home to Sell

Lets switch gears slightly to actually selling your home. Whatever the reason, whether relocation, downsizing, upgrading or cashing in on your investment, as homeowners we will typically find ourselves in the position of selling a home in our lifetime. Selling your home does require a change in mindset. No longer is your home yours, it becomes a business deal.

Here in Denver, if the home is priced appropriately, homes are getting sold quickly. Making the best first impression with your home is crucial and staging can accomplish this. Here are some quick tips that you can easily do so your home shows nicely.

• Clean. Such an easy way to show your place nicely.
• De clutter. Remove unnecessary items in all your rooms. Don't forget the kitchen/bathroom counters.
• Shampoo carpets
• Paint (if needed)
• Remove personal items. When perspective buyers come to your home, you want them to envision themselves in the home. 
• Rearrange furniture. The layout that works for you and your family may not work for all. 
• Don't forget the outside! Curb appeal is a must when trying to sell your home.

Keep in mind, showing your home is like a job interview. If you were going on a job interview you would look your best, right? Showings and open houses allow you the chance to 'sell' your home to perspective buyers that pass through and you want to make the best first impression.
