Home Repairs and Staging: Quick Tips for a Fast Sale

Because interest rates are at an all-time low, buyer demand is still flourishing, despite the economic troubles that have been brought on by the pandemic. Even with demand working in your favor, however, it’s essential to prepare your home the best you can as a seller. After all, chances are you’re not the only one in your area who’s selling their home! 

While there’s a lot involved in selling a home, a little planning and preparation can help the process go smoothly and quickly. From getting the leak in your roof fixed to having DreamRose Design stage your living room, here are some practical tips and resources for prepping your home for sale:

Essential Repairs

One of the first things you should do when you’re getting your home ready for sale is to evaluate it for any repairs that need to be done.

● The roof serves as your home’s first line of defense against the elements and is a vital part of its structure, so evaluate your roof for any leaks, missing shingles, broken shingles, or any other issues that need to be remedied. 

● Take care of any electrical or plumbing problems immediately.  

● Repair any minor defects that could hinder functionality, such as broken door handles and light fixtures. 

● If there are any outdated or bad paint jobs in your home, throw on a fresh coat of paint to transform the space.

Staging Your Home

Decluttering, deep cleaning, and rearranging your home’s interior can make all the difference when it comes to impressing buyers. 

● Schedule a few days for thoroughly decluttering your home, and be sure to tackle every space, nook, and cranny.

● Look for attractive storage solutions like shelves and baskets for items that you want to hold onto but keep out of the way.

● After decluttering, deep clean every room and surface in your home, and create a routine that helps you keep it that way.

● Assess each space, and figure out how you can rearrange the furniture and decor to highlight your home’s best attributes. 

Professionals That Can Help

You don’t have to go it alone. Hiring professionals for certain tasks and saving you a lot of time and stress. 

● Bring in a professional interior designer and stager from DreamRose Design who has an eye for beautifying any space and the expertise to make it happen. 

● Look for a reliable tradesperson and/or contractor who can safely and effectively perform any repairs that your home needs.

● Find a qualified videographer who can create top-notch listing videos.

● Hire a reputable cleaning service for a one-time or recurring cleaning service. 

A lot goes into selling a home, and the better you plan and prepare, the smoother the process will be for you. Remember to take care of any critical repairs, stage your home, and hire qualified professionals for any tasks that you don’t have the time or experience for. And be on the lookout for any other ways that you can get your home ready for a fast and profitable sale!
