6 Easy Ways to Quickly Sell Your Home

Are you getting ready to sell your home? There are several easy ways to help it sell quickly! Check out my list of six easy (and cheap) ways to quickly sell your home.

First Impression – The Outside

Can we all agree that first impressions are everything? Especially when it comes to your home! A potential buyer's first impression can make or break the sale of your home. An easy way to ensure a great first impression is to keep the yard mowed and raked at all times.

Throughout the House

I’m all about decluttering, especially when it comes to unnecessary furniture. Removing unnecessary furniture throughout your home improves traffic flow through every room. After all, you want potential buyers to picture themselves in your home and not be distracted by unnecessary clutter.

In the Kitchen

We can all agree that the kitchen should always be spotlessly clean but remember to clean the inside of the fridge and stove. I can’t tell you how often a buyer has looked inside appliances (when they’re included with the property, of course), and it’s been a horror show. And we’re talking “Little Shop of Horrors” level of grime and sludge. So take it from me - make sure those appliances are sparkling!

In the Bedrooms

Remember when I mentioned buyers looking inside appliances? Well, they’ll take a peek at your closets too. Make sure to organize your closets, remove unnecessary items, and put them in storage. We want potential buyers gushing over the closet space, not judging the clutter you shoved in your closets.

In the Bathrooms

Looking for an easy way to provide that spa-like experience? Put out fresh towels, decorative soaps, and small green plants. Trust me. Potential buyers will love it!

In the Living Spaces

Don’t waste your time buying new furniture for a home you don’t plan on staying in. New accent pillows and fresh flowers are an easy, quick, and affordable way to refresh your living spaces.
