kitchen renovations, install hardwood floors, and knock down a bunch of walls. And while those changes aren’t necessarily a bad idea if you want to sell for top dollar, they’re not always necessary.
But do you know what is? Cleaning .
Cleaning and organizing your home before a sale is the easiest way to ensure it sells quickly — and for the most money possible.
So what should you do to get your home in tip-top shape?
• Deep clean every surface — floors, walls, carpets, countertops, cabinets, appliances, toilets, tubs, etc. • Organize and remove clutter. • Consider investing in a storage unit to store knick knacks, toys, tools, old furniture, unused small kitchen appliances, and piles of paperwork.
If this sounds like a lot of work, that’s because it can be. You’re much better off leaving these tasks to professionals.
