There are a few factors to keep in mind when it comes to preparing your home for sale. Most people know the basics, like improving your curb appeal, de-cluttering, extreme cleaning and so on. Some people will do minor renovations – painting, replacing flooring – and some will go further and do major renovations. What a lot of people get wrong is the order they do things – most people do the work and then call in an agent to give them an evaluation.

We show buyers through hundreds (if not thousands!) of homes every year, and we have an excellent idea of what appeals to buyers, and what turns buyers off. If you’re planning on selling your home, talk to us before you prepare for the sale, and we can advise  you of the best ways to spend your time and money preparing.

We can offer some advice over the phone or by email, but the best way we can advise you on your home is to view the home and discuss the potential renovations as well as the timing of your sale. If you’d like to meet with us give us a call at 780-486-8655 or fill out this form.
