Quick Tips for Sellers: Preparing Your Home for the Market

These are some of our best kept secrets we share with our clients to prepare their home before it home goes on the market. If you want the full list, give us a call! 781-645-0505

Our goal with this list is to ensure a picture-perfect shoot. We recommend prepping your home at least one day in advance. 

Outdoor:

  • Manicure the yard.
  • Remove vehicles from the driveway and front of the property and close all garage doors.
  • Wipe outdoor furniture.

Interior:

  • Clean and stage the property; remember, less is best. Remove all clutter and personal photos.
  • Sweep, vacuum, or mop to remove dust and debris.
  • Dust exposed surfaces and tables.

Lighting:

  • Open blinds and window treatments to allow natural lighting in.

Kitchen:

  • Clean appliances so they are fingerprint and streak free.

Bathrooms: 

  • Remove all personal products from countertops, showers, and bathtubs — including toilet scrubbers, waste bins, floor mats, and plungers.
  • Ensure all mirrors and bathroom fixtures are clean.
  • Close all toilet lids.
