Before you start preparing to sell your house or home, make sure you know what's involved, who does what and when, and follow these best practices to get the prepping done right.
1. Get the house ready to sell by doing a quick clean, removing clutter, and making sure repairs are done.
2. Get your financial documents in order, including your loan and title information, as well as any other relevant paperwork relating to the house or home.
3. Create a portfolio of photos that show off the best features of your property, including inside and out, when possible (these will be used for marketing).
4. Get estimates for necessary repairs and improvements so you have an idea of how much money you'll need to spend before selling.
5. Clear out any belongings that aren't necessary for the sale of your home, including furniture and decorations.
6. Get an appraisal done by a professional to confirm the value of your property.
7. Make sure all utilities are turned off at the main service panel so nothing can be stolen or damaged if you've already moved or on vacation (make sure you know how to turn them back on).
8. Take photos of everything inside and outside your home, including the yard and landscaping.
9. Make sure you have an answer for all questions that potential buyers might ask (like "where will I park my car?").
10. If you're selling with a realtor, make sure they have all of the necessary paperwork ready to go so there's no delay in getting your home on the market.
