Spring is surely in the air and homeowners who are
thinking about selling their homes, need to begin prepping their homes for the
upcoming Spring Market. There are a
variety of important steps you need to take when prepping your home for a sale
and surely our qualified home inspectors here at From the Ground Up can help.
Ensuring the structural and mechanical condition of your
home, as well as the exterior and landscaping of your home are critical to a
successful sale of your home. In
addition, performing cosmetic fixes as well as giving attention to your
kitchen, bathrooms and flooring will greatly enhance your chances of selling
your home.
Structural and
Mechanical Condition
The experts here at From the Ground Up Inspection are here
to perform a pre-home inspection for potential home sellers so that you can be
apprised of necessary repairs that should be made. A pre-home inspection also sends an important
message to potential buyers that you want the best experience for everyone
involved and want to be certain that everything is on the up and up for those
people who show an interest in purchasing your home.
Exterior of Your Home
and your Property Landscaping
A truly important step to take when prepping your home for a
sale is enhancing the overall curb appeal your property presents with. Extensive cleanup on the outside of the home
and all along the property line will contribute greatly to the overall
appearance of your property. Making
whatever upgrades necessary to the outside of the home will increase your odds
of finding a happy buyer. Perhaps fine
tuning your landscaping and polishing any trees, shrubs or plants that you have
in the yard is a good idea as well and maybe even installing a beautiful, eye
catching retaining wall.
Cosmetic Repairs to
your Home
It goes without saying that cosmetic repairs are necessary
when you are prepping your home for a sale.
Painting is one of the primary cosmetic fixes you should perform and
leaning more toward earth tone colors is always a conservative yet practical
approach to take. After all, if a new
homeowner likes more vibrant colors it will be much easier to apply those
colors over neutral colors that are already there.
In addition, there are several ‘must do’ tasks that should
be included when prepping your home for a sale. From patching cracks and holes that may be
present in your ceilings and walls, repairing your roof, servicing your HVAC
system, repairing broken appliances and upgrading light fixtures to repairing
any plumbing issues, repairing old window coverings, replacing worn out
carpeting, replacing any broken or cracked windows and fixing any code
violations, performing cosmetic repairs to your home will enhance the value of
the home and make for a much more impressive presentation.
Upgrading Kitchens,
Bathrooms and Flooring
It even makes sense in some cases to perform some
renovations or upgrades before putting your home on the market. Though a kitchen renovation can hurt your
pocketbook, it will many times make the difference between a yes and no
sale. The kitchen is one of the more
trafficked areas of a home and many people are looking to have a more modern
designed kitchen that presents with all the extras.
Improving the appearance of your bathrooms is another
upgrade that will ultimately serve you well.
Potential buyers always give attention to the bathrooms so a clean,
modern looking, upgraded bathroom will help win over potential buyers.
Also, though it can be quite costly to do, upgrading your
carpeting if it is obviously old and weathered is truly an important step in
prepping your home. Potential buyers are
definitely going to take note of the floors in your home so be certain carpets
are professionally cleaned or replaced and hardwood floors are nicely stained
and polished.
Prepping your home for a sale certainly entails a good deal
of work and surely having a pre-inspection performed by our highly trained
inspectors here at From the Ground Up Inspections will give you all the insight
and direction you need on exactly what types of repairs, fixes, upgrades or
renovations should be made. Our
qualified inspectors are here to assist and look forward to contributing to a
stress free, successful selling experience for all of our valued clients.
