Selling your home can be a big hassle. In fact, prepping to sell your home might be the biggest hassle. This hassle is likely what is holding you back from actually selling your home.
Traditional home sales can require a lot of preparation. Let’s look at what you need to do – at a minimum – to get your home ready for sale.
Dealing with your stuff
First you have to declutter and get rid of all your stuff. Boxing up your belongings and selling or giving away the excess takes a lot of time, and a good number of boxes and tape. Then you need to store the items: in your garage or basement or in a storage unit. Who’s going to help you move this stuff?
Attending to the to-do list
Next you’re going to want to fix all the little things that you’ve lived with and have been ignoring: a burned out light bulb, the broken door knob, a missing cabinet handle, a lock that’s sticky. Perhaps you can address a few of the items, but you might end up employing a handyman to do the bulk of your to-do list. The dollar signs are adding up.
Spiffing up the outside
You can’t ignore the exterior of your home. Doing the usual mowing, edging, and mulching will take time. However, you should trim bushes and trees, take out any dead or struggling plants, and clean patios, decks, sidewalks, and driveways. Powerwashers and gardening gloves needed, along with the energy to get it all done…and tools put away. Are you equipped?
Making the big replacements
Now you’re going to look at the big-ticket items that you need to replace: worn out carpeting, paint in high-traffic areas, an appliance that’s on the blink, a broken window, the aging roof or HVAC system. You see the cost estimates from contractors and are wondering if it’s worth it.
Getting everything cleaned
Then you want to clean up, paying attention to every nook and corner to make it spic and span for photos, buyer visits, and an open house. By this time, you’re exhausted. Who has the energy for a deep clean? And, every visit by a potential buyer means you’re going to have to re-clean and re-straighten up everything again.
Leaving the home
Every time a buyer wants to tour your home, you’ll need to pack up and leave. You should plan to be gone for an hour for every visit which could mean taking your pets or crating them up, too. Open houses last even longer. Do you have a place to go escape?
