What is the best way to prepare your home for sale? Here are four useful projects you can do:
1. Improve your curb appeal. The first impression many buyers get after viewing your home online is when they pull up to the curb for a showing. Look at the front of your home from the street and determine what needs upgraded or repaired. Trim your shrubs, cut the grass, repaint the siding, etc.
2. Get a home inspection. These days, many buyers get a home inspection simply because their lender has made it a requirement or for peace of mind. Be proactive and get your home inspection done before you even go live. That way, you can stay ahead of the curve when it comes to any items that might need to be repaired or replaced. Don’t hesitate to replace any interior flooring or dated carpet, because those are the kinds of things buyers will look at when they walk through the home. The cost isn’t much compared to what to it can generate through an offer.
3. Paint. As the old cliche goes, a $40 gallon of paint isn’t nearly as beneficial in the bucket as it is on the walls, where it might generate thousands of extra dollars in your home sale. Look at your interior walls and see if anything needs to be touched up. If so, don’t spot-paint—paint the entire wall.
4. Clean and clear out. Most people only clear a little bit of the house or maybe one room, but you should try to go through the entire house. The basement, garage, and attic are three rooms you should try especially hard to clear. When the house sells, you’ll have to clear them all out anyway.

Doing these projects will guarantee your home a better offer.
