  1. The first thing you do before starting the process is to hire professionals who will help you make important decisions.

  2. Clean and declutter your home to make it more appealing to the eyes of the buyer. The decluttering process can be hard and exhausting, if you have extra funds you can hire a cleaning agency to help make your home look presentable. When doing it on your own, make a schedule and take one room at a time. Recycle all your unwanted properties by handing it down or selling it off at a yard sale. Arrange all your extra items in plastic tabs and store them away neatly.
  3. Once the house is clutter-free, depersonalize your space. Remove any items that may distract the buyers from visualising is as their home. Keep the displays neat and item-free can so the buyers can have an estimate of the space they could be working with. Leave the closets and shelves half-empty to create an illusion of space. Make your house less of your home by minimizing the furniture and taking down your picture memories.
  4. With professional help, invest in a few home upgrades and repairs. Hire professional home maintenance to investigate your property and decide which areas need a makeover. Repaint your walls to neutral colours that are bright and make your room appealing. Avoid bold colours because you never know what your clients prefer. Repair all the damages to your home, refurbish the floors and replace the broken doorknobs. Invest in new lampshades and curtains and make use of natural lighting to make your home appear bigger.
  5. When your home is almost ready for a show, start the process of determining its price. Tell your agent to help you determine the market value of your home. You should do some research on the prices of properties in your region that look similar to your home. You can use online tools to give you an estimate of the value of your property. Take into account the fluctuation of home prices and the active listings when determining the cost of your property.
