Hey there Sellers! Are you ready to sell your home and move on to your next adventure?
Great! But before you do, there are a few things you need to take care of. And by “a few things,” I mean cleaning everything. Yes, everything.
Clean Everything.
Let’s start with the baseboards. You know those things that nobody ever looks at? Well, I hate to break it to you, but people are going to be looking at them now. So, get down on your hands and knees and scrub those suckers until they shine. Trust me, buyers will notice the difference.
Replace burned-out bulbs.
Next up, light bulbs. you ever walked into a room and noticed a burned-out light bulb? It’s not a good look. So, go through your entire house and make sure every single light bulb is working. And while you’re at it, replace any old or dim bulbs with brighter ones. Buyers love a well-lit home.
Wash your cold air return vents.
Now, let’s talk about cold air return vents. know, those things on the wall that suck in all the dust and dirt in your home? Yeah, those. Take them off and give them a good wash. Not only will it make your home look cleaner, but it will also improve your air quality. Win-win!
Dust everything.
Finally, dust everything. I mean everything. Shelves, tables, picture frames, you name it. Nothing turns off a buyer faster than a layer of dust on everything. So, grab a duster and get to work.
It’s worth it.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But Leah, this sounds like a lot of work.” And you’re right, it is. But it’s also worth it. A clean, well-maintained home will sell faster and for more money than a dirty one. So, put on your cleaning gloves and get to work. And if all else fails, hire a professional cleaner.
Good luck, sellers! May your baseboards be shiny, and your light bulbs be bright.
