If you are in the market to sell your home, you want to get the highest possible offer. While the market
is strong for sellers in the Twin Cities, there are ways to ensure you get the most money for your
property. You do not need to invest large amounts of money in your home to attract the best buyers
and offers. Here are four cost-effective ways to get your home ready to sell for top dollar.
1. Declutter Your Home
Once you sell, you will be moving, so now is the time to remove anything you will not take with you.
Clearing out the garage, closets and other storage areas will give potential buyers a better look at your
home. Consider putting items you are not currently using in storage to minimize clutter in and around
your home.
2. Deep Clean
Did you know that deep cleaning your home could increase your home’s value by up to 5%? With some
elbow grease and cleaning products, you could see an increase of thousands of dollars. If you do not
have the time or inclination to deep clean, hiring a cleaning company for a one-time deep cleaning may
be worth the investment.
3. Remove Personalized Items
When you are ready to put your home on the market, you want to remove items that are uniquely
“you.” A large family portrait over the fireplace may be best removed so potential buyers can picture
themselves living in your home instead of you. The same is true for your personalized style – you may
love your Viking-purple home office, but it may be worthwhile to paint it a neutral color before you
begin showing your property.
