Picture this. It’s Sunday night.. You’ve found the perfect home you didn’t know you needed. You wrote an offer, and now you’re under contract! But, now you realize you need to get your current home market-ready in only one week. EEK!
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Check out our top tips and tricks for getting your home market-ready in only one week’s time!
Check the light bulbs.
Do they all match in wattage? Are there any burnt out?
Swap the linens.
All white everything! The bedding & the towels too! Add a pop of color with pillows or a throw blanket.
Pre-pack it all.
The closets, the mini appliances that have found a permanent home on your counters, etc.
Head to Target.
Replace all those non-decorative space fillers (i.e. the toaster that used to sit out on your kitchen counter) with some carefully chosen knickknacks! A faux plant or a festive candle are great options.
Clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere!
Steam clean those carpets, wipe down those baseboards & don’t forget to Windex, too!
Make them want to come inside!
Yep, we’re talking curb appeal. A clean, inviting door mat and a freshly painted front door will go a really long way.
Is it going to be absolutely perfect? No. But is it going to sparkle? You bet! Putting in the hard work nearly always pays off for our sellers. And if you skimp here, the buyers might just skimp on their offers, too but let’s not find out the hard way!
