Putting your home up for sale can be a stressful time. If it’s your family home, you have to endeavor to present it to the market while also still trying to reside there which is no mean feat! It can also be difficult to know what exactly to do to have your home prepared for the real estate market.

It’s all about first impressions so the key is to try to look at your property with fresh eyes – what will potential buyers first see when they set foot on your property? Think about everything including the exterior. Mow your lawns, trim your hedges, add outdoor plants too if it helps! Inside, it’s important to fix any niggling items like torn carpets and a fresh coat of paint will be welcomed. It’s not advisable to make wholesale changes like installing a new kitchen for example as many buyers like to choose their own designs. Best to work with what you currently have and see how something like a deep clean (by professionals) can help.
