There are several things that should be examined before selling a home. Basic necessities such as painting, cleaning, de-cluttering and ensuring odors are non-existent are just a handful of low cost preparations that can be made, prior to selling a home. The first impression is crucial when selling a home. By not preparing your home for sale, this can often lead to a poor first impression and also can cost you a lot more money in the long run. We always advice our clients to take the extra time and effort to prepare their home for a sale.
