Are you thinking about selling your home? If so, a top-notch real estate agent may be the solution to getting your home sold quickly. You want an agent that knows the local market, uses aggressive marketing strategies and understands how to get your home in the best position to appeal to potential buyers. Here are some tips to get you on the right track.

Hire Professionals
Think about hiring professional painters, landscapers or floor refurbishes to make your place shine. You can also hire professional real estate photographers to show off your home in the best light possible.
Depersonalize
You want the buyer to imagine themselves living in your home. If you still have personal items hanging everywhere, its hard for potential buyers to imagine themselves living in the space.
Remove bad smells
A good, thorough cleaning usually takes care of unpleasant odors. Give your home time to air out by opening the windows. You could light a nice smelling candle or bake before an open house. You don’t want the smell to be overpowering because that may look suspicious, like you’re trying to cover a bad smell.
Clean for walk-throughs
A home that is clean and tidy tends to move quickly. It may be a lot of work, but if your motivated to sell your home it’s worth it to clean the entire home from top to bottom. Don’t neglect the basement or closets, buyers often check every nook and cranny.
First Impressions
Sometimes people will simply drive by your home and decide to check out your open house. That’s why its important to keep up with the curb appeal. It couldn’t hurt to trim overgrown shrubs, install new entry lighting, a little landscaping with mulch or repaint the front door.
Paint
Paint has the power to add light to a dark room. Neutral paint tones are the way to go if your looking for a fresh new look that appeals to a wide range of tastes. Stay away from bold colors as that may give off more of your personality
Carpets
Before you show your home, the carpet needs to be cleaned. This will eliminate odors locked into the carpet and improve the appearance of the floor. You can hire professionals or rent a carpet cleaning machine.
Make repairs
Before you put your home on the market, make any minor repairs that could give buyers second thoughts about the home. Making small repairs throughout the home can give buyers the impression that the home is well-maintained.
