Selling your home can be a big task, but with the right preparation, it can go smoothly. At Hanson’s Mobile Home Sales and Hanson’s Realty, we’ve helped hundreds of customers sell their homes successfully. We’re happy to share this checklist to guide you through the key steps for an effective and profitable sale. This checklist answers the question: What can I do to get my home ready to sell quickly and at the best price?
Declutter and Clean
Start by removing personal items and excess clutter. A clean and organized home makes a great impression on buyers. Deep clean every room, including carpets and windows, to make your home shine.
Repairs and Upgrades
Fix any visible issues, like leaky faucets or broken tiles. Consider minor upgrades, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, to add value. Small repairs can make a big difference in how buyers see your home.
Curb Appeal
First impressions matter. Take a look at your property’s exterior and declutter and clean it. A clean driveway and welcoming entrance can attract more buyers. Consider touching up the paint if needed.
Depersonalize
Remove family photos and personal decor. Buyers need to imagine themselves living in your home. A neutral environment helps them do that.
Neutral Colors
If your home needs paint on the inside, consider painting your walls in neutral tones. Neutral colors appeal to a wider audience. They make rooms look larger and brighter.
Lighting
Make sure all rooms are well-lit and that all lights are working. Use both natural and artificial lighting. Good lighting makes your home look inviting and spacious.
Storage
Organize closets and storage spaces. Show off their full potential. Buyers love seeing ample storage in a home.
Flexible Showings
Be prepared to accommodate showings at various times. The more available your home is, the more buyers will see it. Flexibility can lead to a quicker sale.
Price It Right
Set a competitive price based on market analysis. Work with your Hanson Sales Team to determine the best price. Correct pricing is key to attracting serious buyers.
Negotiations
Work closely with your Hanson Sales Team to negotiate offers. Aim to maximize your sale price. Skilled negotiation can make a big difference in your final sale price.
Closing
The closing is the part of all home buying and selling transactions that will require some paperwork and legal requirements. The Hanson Sales Team can help you through these steps to ensure a smooth closing process.
Your Team
Talk through your goals for selling your home with a Hanson Sales Team member. They can help you clarify your plans and give you helpful advice based on their experience.
