When it’s time to sell your home, the process can be confusing. There are so many moving parts to consider, from securing the most competitive price to coordinating inspections and repairs. If you want to avoid making a mistake and ensuring that the sale of your home goes off without a hitch, you’ll need to take a proactive approach to preparing your home for sale.
Cleaning
You will want to have a clear inventory of everything that you own. This includes items in the house, and also any other personal belongings or items that are worth money, such as jewelry or electronics. You will want to include a list of all warranties, safety equipment, and other important items. You will also need to have any documentation for the house, including warranties, service records, and legal documentation.
Packing up
A professional property packer will have already gone through your house and removed any items they feel may impact on a sale. However, you don’t want to miss out on any items so be sure to consider everything! Chances are you’ll want to pack away any sentimental items, such as photos, ornaments and other items that make the house feel like a home.
Dealing with potential buyers
One of the things you will need to organise when preparing to sell a house is a comprehensive inventory. An inventory will list all of the major items in your house, including furniture, electronics, art, and anything else of significant value. It’s important to take stock of all of your possessions and make a full list before you start advertising your house.
Setting a price
You will need the following documentation: a listing agreement, a deed of sale, a checklist of what to do before you hand over keys and any other legal paperwork you deem necessary. These items are essential to protect your investment and to help ensure a smooth and successful sale.
Coordinating repairs
When you sell a house, you’ll want to prepare the house for showing and selling. The first thing we recommend is making sure the house is in top condition. You’ll want to make sure your home is free from any stains, odors, or other signs that it’s lived in. Next, you’ll want to make sure you clean up any personal items. You don’t want your buyers to trip over boxes in the garage or walk around with a box of your old shoes.
Coordinating with agents
When it’s time to sell your house, you’ll need to coordinate with your real estate agent, too. You’ll need to provide them with a full list of the items you want to sell with the house, as well as any paperwork you may have that they’ll need to transfer the sale of the property.
Staging
When you put your home on the market, you’ll want to make sure you have all the information you need about what’s there to stage it properly. You’ll want to organise the room by room so you know what you’ll need to cover and where you’ll need to store it.
Conclusion
The most important thing to organise when selling your home is to have a clear and organized listing. You want to make sure that potential buyers can quickly glance over the listing to get a good idea of what the property is like. A clear and easy to understand listing will help you get more offers on your house faster.
