Spruce Up Your Home for A Spring Sell



After doing the market research and paperwork associated with putting a house for sale the real fun begins. At this point you really need to focus on the appearance of the house. The nicer the home looks the more successful your sell is likely to be.

While the outside of your home should have a nice appearance you are going to want to make the inside look good for open house and walk through events. A fresh, clean interior that matches both the home and season gives a home an inviting feel. Here are a few ideas to start sprucing up the inside of your home:

Clean all the light fixtures in the home. The globs and outer casings of lights can attract a lot of dust and debris. Taking these down for a good wash can do wonders for brightening up the house. You should dust and clean any lamp shades in the home too.

Replace damaged light and plug covers or update the old ones. Light switch and plug covers are often overlooked by homeowners trying to sell their house, but clean covers that blend nicely with the rooms always look better than dirty or gaudy covers.

Chance the curtains and the linens in the house. Washing or replacing the curtains and linens can really freshen up the look, smell, and feel of the house.

Remove any odors. Air fresheners and nice scented candles can add a new scent to the house, making it more appealing to the senses. You can also use carpet deodorizers to remove any odors.

Clean up clutter. If you have any clutter in your home pick it up. Make sure laundry makes it into the hamper, and that all trash and recycling makes it to the appropriate containers.
