Patch Blog: Top Improvements to Make Prior to Putting Your Home on the Market

How do you capture the attention of buyers who are looking at many homes and you want your home to be the “standout”? What features will buyers look at in your home that will differentiate it from the other homes they see?

Based on recent research and my 28 years of real estate experience, the top four improvements you can make to your home before selling to ensure that it is shown at its best, plus guarantee that your home will sell faster and at a higher price are:

1)    De-clutter and repurpose furniture

2)    Re-landscaping the front yard including planting colorful flowers and putting    bark in flower beds

3)    Painting the exterior trim and interior

4)    Staging the home

A staged home sells 80% more quickly than a non-staged home and for 7% more*.  These improvements are cost effective solutions that make your home “sale ready”.
