You\u2019ve made the decision to sell your home. As soon as you\u2019ve made up your mind, there are several things you can do to prepare for this exciting occasion.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019re currently in a \u201cseller\u2019s market,\u201d which means you picked an excellent time to sell your home! However, you will still want to make sure your home is seen in the best possible light so you can get the very best offer possible. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll want to take care of a few minor repairs, increase the curb appeal, and maybe even give it a fresh coat of paint. Following these important steps can help make the selling process simpler \u2014\u00a0and more profitable!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Declutter + Simplify<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Moving is a natural time to go through the decluttering process, as you\u2019re forced to face some of those items you had tucked away that are no longer serving you. Not to mention, a simplified, clutter-free home is much more appealing to the potential buyer, as they can see a clean slate on which they can add their own personal furniture, decor and belongings. Need some help? We put together <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/2021\/12\/tips-decluttering-simplifying-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/2021\/12\/tips-decluttering-simplifying-home\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1646340286343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1PS6LwgLkHUez-R-8KS15F\" rel=\"noopener\">a list of tips and tricks for decluttering and simplifying your home<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> If you have larger furniture or other items you want to remove from your home but don\u2019t have a place to move them into yet, consider renting a storage unit! That way, you can simplify the amount of stuff in your home, while hanging onto them for the next place (especially if you are upsizing).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Make Any Minor Repairs<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Repairs.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88742\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88742 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Repairs.jpg\" alt=\"13 Things to Do to Prepare Your Home to Sell | Make Minor Repairs\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Repairs.jpg 850w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Repairs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Repairs-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now is the time to check a few items off that maintenance to-do list! After all, the buyer may eventually request these repairs after they are uncovered during the inspection, so it\u2019s best to beat them to the punch. Tighten those loose handles, fill any gaping nail holes, and fix that leaky faucet!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> To save you the time and energy, you may want to hire a handyman to get all these small odd jobs done. <a href=\"https:\/\/handymanconnection.com\/ann-arbor\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/handymanconnection.com\/ann-arbor\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1646340286343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3EiIbrOHHDYyPJnwfutbp7\" rel=\"noopener\">Handyman Connection<\/a> is a trusted local handyman service that can do just about any project \u2014\u00a0and they serve Ann Arbor, Saline, Dexter, Chelsea, Pinckney, Brighton, Howell, Whitmore Lake, Northville and Plymouth!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Depersonalize Your Space<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As much as you may love your family portraits, they may become a distraction for the potential buyer. Take some time to \u201cneutralize\u201d your home by removing any personal items, including family photos, religious symbols, signs with your family name, diplomas and certificates, political statements, etc. This will help your home appeal to a wider range of people who can more easily envision themselves in your space.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Paint the Walls a Neutral Color<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Paint.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88732\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88732 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Paint.jpg\" alt=\"13 Things to Do to Prepare Your Home to Sell | Paint the Walls\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Paint.jpg 850w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Paint-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Paint-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Similarly, the less personalized your color scheme and decor, the better. You may love your bright pink walls or your cheetah print wallpaper, but your buyer may be distracted and deterred. One of our most common suggestions to sellers is to give the interior of their home a fresh coat of paint in a neutral color like off-white, beige or light gray.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> If you want to save a little money (or you&#8217;re pressed for time), consider painting the most prominent spaces, like the kitchen, entryway and living room \u2014\u00a0or perhaps the entire first floor. This is the most budget-friendly way to give a good first impression!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Remove or Replace Items You Plan on Taking<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Do you know for certain you\u2019ll be taking that chandelier with you? Or perhaps you know the washer and dryer aren\u2019t staying? Consider taking those items out (and maybe replacing them with a less expensive option) before listing, so your would-be buyers don\u2019t become attached to them. It can be much more difficult to break the news that their favorite feature isn\u2019t a part of the offer! And ultimately, this could hurt the sale.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Organize Closets and Storage Areas<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Closet.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88712\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88712 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Closet.jpg\" alt=\"13 Things to Do to Prepare Your Home to Sell | Organize Closets and Storage Areas\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Closet.jpg 850w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Closet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Closet-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s human instinct to want to open every drawer, cabinet and closet while viewing a home. We\u2019ve all done it! So make sure you spend time organizing and cleaning out the various storage areas in your home, so you can show off just how much space there is! And psychologically, a space appears larger when it isn\u2019t packed to the brim with clutter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Stage the Home if Needed<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you are moving all of your belongings out of the home before listing, you may want to seriously consider staging your home. Sure, it requires a bit more money and energy, but it can go a long way in making your house look as liveable as possible. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moving.com\/tips\/why-staging-a-home-is-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.moving.com\/tips\/why-staging-a-home-is-important\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1646340286343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0Kgx7F40hZHzO8IO2pQuUn\" rel=\"noopener\">Staging has been shown<\/a> to improve the look of your home in photos, help your home sell faster (and for more money!), and help buyers visualize how a space could be used \u2014\u00a0among other benefits.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Consider hiring a staging company to make the process easier for you. They will take care of everything and know just how to make your home shine!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Open Curtains + Blinds<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88752\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88752 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows.jpg\" alt=\"13 Things to Do to Prepare Your Home to Sell | Open Curtains and Blinds\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows.jpg 850w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Windows-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Natural light has the power to transform any space. Swing open those curtains and blinds to let in as much light as possible, which will make your space feel more open, cheerful and inviting. This is also an excellent time to give your blinds a good cleaning, as they have a tendency to collect an inordinate amount of dust.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Pay Attention to Curb Appeal<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019ve spent a lot of time talking about the interior of your home, but that doesn\u2019t mean you should neglect the outside! In fact, the front of your house is the first thing potential buyers will see during a showing or an open house \u2014\u00a0and often the first photo used in the online listing. Put your best foot forward by sprucing up the curb appeal. You might power wash exterior surfaces, plant some new shrubs or flowers, trim any unruly bushes or trees, replace the mailbox, paint the front door a fun color, or upgrade hardware like handles, house numbers or light fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Deep Clean the Home<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cleaning.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88702\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88702 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cleaning.jpg\" alt=\"13 Things to Do to Prepare Your Home to Sell | Deep Clean the Home\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cleaning.jpg 850w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cleaning-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Cleaning-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Make every surface sparkle and shine by deep cleaning your home just before listing. And do your best to maintain its clean status as showings progress! You may want to hire a professional cleaner to go the extra mile and clean some of those often-neglected places, like the oven, behind the refrigerator, under the bed, the fan blades, the blinds, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Have a Plan for Showings<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Dodging showings can feel like a part-time job when you\u2019re selling your home \u2014\u00a0so make sure you have a plan for where to go. Come up with an \u201cexit strategy\u201d which includes some tasks to complete before leaving (namely: tidying up) and where you and your family will be (like a nearby coffee shop or park).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Add Thoughtful Details<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Flowers.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88722\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88722 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Flowers.jpg\" alt=\"13 Things to Do to Prepare Your Home to Sell\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Flowers.jpg 850w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Flowers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/2969newport1.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Flowers-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A small, personal touch can go a long way! Just before showings or an open house, pick up a fresh bouquet of flowers, a new candle to light, a fresh bar of soap in the bathroom, or another thoughtful detail that will make your house feel extra homey. Especially if you have many of your belongings removed and the house is emptier than usual, this addition will make the space feel more inviting and full of life. Not to mention, both flowers and candles will make it smell great!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Work with a Trusted Agent<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the end of the day, the most important step when selling your home is making sure you have a trusted real estate agent on your side, who can help you navigate all the above-mentioned tasks in addition to the many other aspects related to selling. Your agent will be with you every step of the way to offer guidance, whether you\u2019re looking for a reliable staging company or need advice on whether it\u2019s worth it to paint your home.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/agents\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/agents\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1646340286343000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1oOtaGLAq2j65l5ownnHBC\" rel=\"noopener\">The agents at Reinhart Realtors<\/a> are extremely knowledgeable about the selling process and the local market in the Ann Arbor area.
