We all heard the quote “You have one shot at a First Impression”. I have seen first-hand over my career how the first impression a buyer has of a home really sets the tone for their desire of the home. Before you go on the market, here are some steps to take that will create a tremendous impact to how a buyer will see your home.

Start by removing personal items and excess clutter. This helps buyers visualize themselves in the space and focuses their attention on the home's features rather than your personal belongings.
Nothing turns off buyers like a dirty house. Hire a professional cleaning service to deep clean your home, including carpets, windows, and hard-to-reach areas, so everything sparkles.
Address any maintenance issues, no matter how small. Fix leaky faucets, replace burnt-out light bulbs, and touch up paint. These details matter and convey a well-cared-for home which creates buyer confidence.
First impressions count. Freshen up your landscaping by trimming the bushes, add fresh mulch, and consider adding flowers or a fresh coat of paint to the front door. Ensure the home's exterior is inviting so buyers are excited to come in and see more.
Consider hiring a staging professional or do it yourself by arranging furniture to maximize space and flow. A well-staged home can make a significant impact on how buyers perceive its value.
