What NOT to do Before Selling Your Home

What NOT to do Before Selling Your Home

 So, you're finally ready to sell your house. Congratulations! But before you put that "For Sale" sign in the front yard, there are a few things you should (and shouldn't) do to ensure a quick and successful sale. In this blog post, we'll go over three things you definitely don't want to fix before selling your home.

1. Don't waste your money on new appliances. 
While that shiny new refrigerator may be tempting, most homebuyers aren't willing to pay extra for brand new appliances— they would much rather choose their own. Rather than spending money on new appliances, focus on making any existing ones look as clean and modern as possible. A coat of paint can work wonders!

2. Don't make any major renovations. 
This one may seem counterintuitive, but hear us out: any major renovations you make (think: a new roof, foundation repairs, etc.) will likely not add enough value to your home to justify the cost of the repairs. Not to mention, major renovations can be time-consuming and stressful—the last thing you want when you're trying to sell your house! If your house does need any major repairs, it's best to disclose this information to potential buyers upfront so there are no surprises down the road.

3. Don't try to stage the house yourself. 
We know you're proud of that DIY coffee table you made from an old pallet, but trust us when we say that potential buyers probably won't see it the same way. When it comes to staging your home for sale, it's best to leave it to the professionals. A good stager will be able to declutter and arrange your furniture in a way that makes your space look its best— something that's crucial when selling your home.

So there you have it— three things you shouldn't do before selling your home. Remember, when it comes time to sell, focus on making small cosmetic improvements rather than major repairs or renovations. And most importantly, don't try to stage the house yourself— leave it to the pros! By following these simple tips, you'll be sure to have a quick and successful sale.
