Sizzling Summer Selling Tips (Part 2)

Many people are looking for their new dream home in Colorado Springs this summer, so if you're considering selling your home, now is the time to do it! However, there are a few things you should consider doing before putting your home up on the market. Last week, we discussed tips 1 - 4, so this week, we're finishing off our sizzling summer selling tips with tips number 5 - 7.

5. Address Necessary Repairs

Not addressing necessary repairs could scare away potential home buyers. For example, if your home has an old roof with visible damage, not fixing this before listing could make you lose out on a fair amount of money from the sale. Or it could make you lose out on potential buyers who don't want to deal with fixing them at all. Whether your home is listed during the summer or any other season, make sure you address these repairs prior to your home being put on the market. When getting your home ready, look out for broken windows, peeling or damaged siding and damaged roofs. You want the potential buyers focusing on all the positives your home has and not distracted by all the repairs that have been neglected.

6. Depersonalize & Declutter

When getting your home ready to sell, it's a good idea to depersonalize and declutter your home. You don't want your buyers distracted by the personal items in your home. In addition, it is a great way safety to follow. Make sure to put away any bills, calendars, pictures, medication and lock up any valuable items. For decluttering a home, it's highly recommended to take the time to walk through your home and evaluate what you actually need to live comfortably in your home while selling. If you believe you can live without something, consider moving into a storage unit or into the basement or garage.

7. Hire A Professional REALTOR

There are many reasons why choosing the best real estate agent in Colorado Springs is vital to the success of the sale of the home. There are many different real estate agents in the area, and choosing the wrong one could be devastating to the sale of your home. It's best to meet with at least three agents prior to choosing the one you want selling your home. It's important to ask the right questions to make the right choice. Not all agents are the same. Even real estate agents who work for the same company aren't the same. So choose carefully.
