HOW TO HAVE YOUR HOME SALE READY FOR THE SPRING MARKET!
Spring into the selling season! With the buzz of Super Bowl Sunday fading on February 9th, now is the prime opportunity to prepare your LakeShore East condo for the upcoming market wave. By tackling the task one step at a time, you can minimize stress and streamline the process. Let Realtor Ginger Menne be your seasoned guide, leading you from your initial decision to the final list with ease and confidence.
Step One - Take Charge of Your Belongings
In the first week, categorize your items into three groups: essentials, items to pack away, and items to dispose of. Ginger guides you through this methodical approach, offering advice and accountability at every step. Consider renting a storage unit to keep your packed items safe, decluttering your condo and creating a more inviting space for potential buyers. There are storage lockers available to rent in the pedway for $150 a month.
Step Two - Clear the Clutter
For the next week, divide your home into seven sections, packing up and removing things you no longer require each day. Conscientious sorting and moving items to storage will leave your home with only the essentials by week's end. Ginger can provide a list of charities for donations and places to sell unwanted items, making this process a breeze.
Step Three - Repair and Refresh
Refurbish your condo by repairing any property issues and sprucing up the interiors with neutral colors. Ginger can provide local painter and handyman recommendations. It's essential to stage your home correctly, so potential buyers can envision themselves living there. Ginger can guide you through the process. As part of your team, she ensures your property looks its absolute best before hitting the market.
Step Four - FinalTouches
As you approach week four, it's time to schedule a comprehensive deep cleaning with professional services. This isn't just any ordinary clean-up, but an exhaustive scrubbing from top to bottom, encompassing flooring, grout, windows, window treatments, light fixtures, and far more. Every corner inside and out deserves attention, from ensuring all lightbulbs match in overhead lighting and lamps, to making every surface sparkle. Ginger has already coordinated with a photographer to come at the end of this week, so presenting a minimalistic and uncluttered space is key. Kitchen and bathroom countertops should be clear of any clutter to ensure the photos portray an inviting environment that potential buyers can easily imagine themselves in.
