Getting your home ready for the market does not have to be stressful. With a focused plan, you can make a strong first impression in just 48 hours. Here is a simple checklist that works every time.
1. Clear the Surfaces
Countertops, tables, dressers, and nightstands should be as clear as possible. It instantly makes the space feel bigger and cleaner.
2. Do a Quick Declutter
Grab a couple of bins and pack away anything you do not use daily. Extra shoes, random cords, kid items, fridge magnets, old mail, and bathroom products can all be stored out of sight.
3. Deep Clean the High Impact Areas
Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, and windows matter most. A sparkling kitchen and a fresh bathroom go a long way with buyers.
4. Let the Light In
Open all blinds and curtains and replace any burnt out bulbs. A bright home feels more welcoming and spacious.
5. Add Small Touches
Fresh towels, a tidy entryway, and a made bed can instantly improve the look and feel of your home.
6. Take Care of Quick Exterior Wins
Sweep the porch, clean the front door, and remove any cobwebs. First impressions start at the curb.
