First impressions matter, especially when it comes to real estate and receiving the highest possible offer on your home. You want to make sure your home is presented in its best possible condition when you list it for sale to have a higher chance of selling it quickly and as close to the list price as possible.

Here are some Home Improvements You Can Make to Help You Receive the Best Offer

Improve the Landscape

A yard, especially a font one, that looks fresh, manicured, and well-kept provides instant curb appeal and draws people to want to look inside the home.

Update Lighting and Hardware Fixtures

There is just something that screams old and tired about a space when the light fixtures, faucets, door handles, cabinet pulls, drawer pulls, etc. are out of date. What is nice is that these items are relatively budget-friendly to update.

Stage Awkard Spaces

If there are areas in the home that seem unique or unusual, try and stage those places with a clear purpose of how they can be used to give buyers interest in dreaming of how they might utilize them. Instead of leaving the space to feel awkward and like it is wasted or dead space.

Keep Rooms to Their Original Uses

If you have shifted the obvious main use of a room to something else to make your home work better for your personal use, make sure to switch it back with staging. For example, if you turned your dining room into a home office during the pandemic. Or if you turned the third bedroom into an exercise room.

Clean, Clean, Clean

Make sure to clean everything in your home from top to bottom before taking photos and setting up your online listing. The cleaner a home is the better it communicates that the home is in great condition and has been well taken care of.

Make the Front Door Feel Inviting

The front door both inside and out tells a big story to potential buyers about what they can expect to find as they step further inside the home. From the outside you want the door to be a focal point of your curb appeal, drawing the eye to it with an interesting pop of color and some inviting planters on a clean front porch.

On the inside of the door, try to set a neatly organized area that has a place to keep things most people are looking to drop off as soon as they get inside the door, such as coats and shoes. If your home has a closet for these items that is great, make sure it looks neatly organized.
