Are you considering listing your home this Spring? Do you have a plan?
Here are some tips on what you should be doing NOW in order to be ready for the Spring real estate market.
1) Get pre-approved or update a previous/recent pre-approval to make sure nothing has changed and that there aren't any new surprises on your credit. Getting pre-approved allows us to go look at houses right away after we list your home!
2) Start de-cluttering a little bit every day, perhaps one room at a time now before it becomes a huge chore to do all at once. We like the 3-1 method. 3 piles for 1 room, a donation pile, a keep pile, and a toss pile. If you focus on one room at a time the task of de-cluttering won't seem so daunting!
3) Paint the "crazy color bedrooms" and/or touch up the paint in the high traffic areas of your home. If you do plan on touching up some spots, you can peel of a piece of paint (larger than the size of a quarter) and bring it to your local paint store and have them match the color!
4) Tackle any repair items that need a pro now because good help is rarely available immediately and it might take a few weeks or more to have a qualified repair agent actually make the repair you need before listing your home for sale.
