Preparing Your Home For Sale
That’s why deferred maintenance is the most important item on our list to address. These are the little things you’ve ignored like broken locks on sliding glass doors, holes in drywall, leaking faucets, burned-out light bulbs, and anything that doesn’t work properly. Seeing deferred maintenance can cause a buyer to wonder what else has been neglected. Buyers can easily change their opinion about whether it’s a good buy and worth the price after seeing a few neglected items.
Almost as important is deep cleaning your home. Scrub the calcium deposits from the faucets, wipe down baseboards, clean scuff marks off walls or touch up the paint where cleaning isn’t an option, sweep patios, wash your windows, and even store your sunscreens in the garage to let the light in. Do your best to make your home look new again so that it feels clean and inviting to potential buyers. If cleaning is not your thing, hire someone. It will be worth every penny.
