The spring real estate season is in full swing in the Omaha area, and many people are asking me what they can do to get their home ready for the market.
The first thing that comes to mind is decluttering. Most people have too much stuff in their homes when they're selling. Take a look at a model home - you'll see that the builder has a small amount of furniture and accessories to complement the home, but nothing overwhelming.
When I list a home, I always offer free staging from a licensed stager. They have a valuable perspective on what your home should look like to attract the most buyers. There is a way your home looks when you're living there, and there is a way your home looks when you are selling; you need to come to terms with the fact that your personal tastes aren't necessarily appealing to a large audience.
Of course, landscaping is critically important when selling, as it is the first thing buyers see when approaching your home. Make sure the lawn is cut, the plants are trimmed, and all debris are cleaned up. Touching up the front door with fresh paint is always a great idea as well.
