Selling Incline Village, NV Real Estate: How To Make A Good First Impression

July 25, 2017 by cmadrid Leave a Comment

If you are selling your real estate in Incline Village, NV you likely are hoping for a quick sale for top dollar. However, as a seller there are some things you should do prior to listing your home. Even in the hottest of markets, you still have to prove your home is worth what you are asking. If you are nervous we are about to suggest a kitchen reno or new floors, you can relax knowing that the best ways to get your home ready for market are also the most affordable. So how can you make the best first impression on buyers? Check out these tips! 

Work on your curb appeal! 

Doing things like mowing the lawn, pruning the bushes, removing pine needles and dead foliage can make a huge difference. Consider adding some affordable flowers as a pop of color or repainting the mail box and replacing the house numbers. The outside is the first impression of your real estate in Incline Village, NV. When buyers are looking for a home for sale in Incline Village, NV they are imagining the property as their own. So when they pull up to your house, they are looking at the little details you may have forgotten about. 

Fix any maintenance issues

After a home has been lived in, chances are there are some fixes that will need to be made. In some scenarios, those fixes could be big and costly (but they will come back on the inspection report so it is best to *atleast* know about them upfront!) while others are affordable and easy. Leaky faucet? Fix it! Something so small and simple that goes untouched suggests poor house maintenance which can be a turn off. Fixing wonky drawers, cabinet hinges, and re-caulking suggest pride in ownership. In a buyer’s mind, if you didn’t let the little things go, your home for sale in Incline Village, NV won’t have as many major issues to be concerned about. 

Deep clean!

If you are selling Incline Village, NV real estate, a deep clean is in order. Professionally clean the carpets, dust the blinds and ceiling fans, clean the base boards, take the magic eraser to scuffs on the walls and wipe down the cupboards. Buyers looking to purchase real estate in Incline Village, NV are going in with a fresh set of eyes. Which means they are going to notice things you no longer do. You have to clean anyway before you list, so you may as well do a deep clean before people are looking through your drawers and going through your home with a fine tooth comb. 

De-Clutter

Listing and marketing Incline Village, NV real estate is much easier when a buyer can imagine their stuff in your home. This means you should de-personalize and create a clutter free, neutral space in which they can successfully see their life working in your home. You don’t have to remove everything and create a completely blank canvas, but it would be of service to put away random items you no longer use. You will be packing up anyway so this is a perfect time to figure out what can be tossed, donated or packed away until you get to your new home.
