Selling Your Home: The Move Out Process
Disassociate Yourself From Your Home
Once you’ve decided to put your home on the market, it’s time for you to remove any personal attachments you may have to this house. It may help to think of this sale as a business transaction. It’s highly considered that you convert your mindset from selling your “home” to selling a house that you happen to own. This may be easier said than done, but it entirely beneficial to the selling and move out process.
Select a Credible Realtor
Realtors continuously pursue educational opportunities, attend conferences, and take part in local community events and groups. In return, they have a better understanding of the communities that they work in and become more seasoned professionals. This makes them the perfect asset when selling your home.A realtor will help you through every stage of the selling process. This generally begins with determining a reasonable asking price. A realtor will also give recommendations on repairs or cosmetic work that will enhance the salability of your home.
Replace or Repair
Thoroughly walk through your home and make a list of all the things that need to be either repaired or replaced.
- Touch up paint for blemishes on walls.
- Repaint the front door, garage door, or any exterior trim
- Replace burned out light bulbs/ replace rusty fixtures
- Replace any broken appliances
- Re-caulk tubs and kitchen
- Fix or replace any broken locks or handles
Organize Your Documents
Not only is it important to prepare your home for sale but it is essential to prepare yourself for inquiries that may rise to the surface in regards to your property. Having all your necessary documents organized makes it easier to present to listing agents, attorneys or potential buyers if requested.
De-personalize Your Home
When selling your house, you want to create a space where buyers can envision themselves and their belongings in the home. Removing personal items like photos, religious artifacts, and home decor will prevent any disruption of a buyers vision. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. Start with the front door and work your way through the house. Tossing out or donating any items that may be cluttering the house should be your first priority. You want buyers to see more of the house and less of your stuff. Organize the kitchen cabinets and empty out closets to display how much space they have.
