Getting Your Home Sold

1. Pricing Right:

  • Consult with a Brandon Pomerleau:

    Brandon can give you a comprehensive report on exactly what your home is worth in today's market.  Consider your property's condition and unique features.

2. Cleaning:

  • Deep Clean Everything: Go beyond a surface clean; aim for a deep clean, focusing on kitchens, bathrooms, and all rooms. 
  • Dust and Polish: Pay attention to all surfaces, including shelves, windows, and fixtures. 
  • Vacuum and Mop: Ensure floors are clean and free of debris. 
  • Wash Windows: This will let in natural light and make the home feel brighter and more spacious. Be sure to wash inside and out.
  • Focus on Odors: Remove any unpleasant smells by cleaning vents, airing out the house and perhaps using a deodorizer to help remove odors. 

3. Decluttering:

  • Clear Out Closets: Go through each closet and remove anything unnecessary, whether clothes, shoes or anything else stored away. 
  • Organize Shelves: Ensure all shelves in the house are neatly organized and clean. 
  • Tackle Countertops: Remove items that may be in the way, such as clutter, appliances, or anything else that can add to the clutter. 
  • Remove Personal Items: Consider removing personal items like photos to allow buyers to envision themselves living there. 
  • Categorize and Store: Group items to organize and store them away, consider using storage boxes to keep things out of sight. 
  • Start with Storage Areas: Declutter storage areas like attics and garages first. 
  • Focus on Shared Areas: Tackle common areas like living rooms and kitchens after storage areas. 
  • Proceed to Private Areas: Focus on decluttering bedrooms and bathrooms last. 
  • Neutralize the Palette: Remove anything that makes the house feel too personal. 
  • Get rid of unneeded items: Sell or donate things that you no longer use. 
  • Condense: If you can't get rid of all clutter, then condense it to one area.
