Keep in mind, getting your house ready to sell for maximum profit doesn’t have to be a costly venture so let’s talk about it.

1.      Clean your house. You can take the time to do this yourself. Remember this clean is a deep clean, so get all the supplies ready and be prepared to clean absolutely everything and don’t be in a hurry. Wash the floors, steam clean the carpet, dust the walls and light fixtures and give the baseboards a clean. At this time, it’s also a good idea to clean out the fridge, cupboards and closets. You never know where prospective buyers will take a peek and will want to leave a good impression.  If you like, hire a housecleaning company to do a deep clean. It will be money well spent.

2.      Change hardware on cupboards and closets. Instead of doing costly renovations in your kitchen and bathrooms, just change out the knobs and pulls to give them an update. A small trip to the hardware will make for a good impression.

3.      Declutter. Remove objects from the counters in the kitchen and bathrooms. For things you can live without for a while, consider boxing them up and putting them in a storage locker. That goes for extra pieces of furniture as well. The purpose of decluttering is to make the space look larger. When you’re doing this put away all personal things like family photos and diplomas. Buyers need to be able to visualize their belongings.

4.      Cut the grass or shovel the snow. Make a good first impression with when the buyers approach your property. Clean out the shed while you’re at it.



5.      Update with fresh paint. If your walls are scuffed, paint them. Also, your walls should be painted in neutral colours. Pale colours are okay but bright and dark colours would be more work for the new home owner to deal with if they don’t like them. Some neutral colours will even brighten up a room.
