Wondering how to get top dollar for your home? Follow our easy tips:

Spruce it up

When it comes to selling your home, it is only as good as it looks. You already know that first impressions are everything, so take the time to make the very best first impression with your house.
Clean
The first thing you'll want to do is clean, clean, clean! Dust those shelves, mop those floors, and store clutter out of site. Adding storage boxes can provide double duty - eye appeal and clutter camouflage all in one! Cleanliness communicates careful upkeep to a potential buyer. If your home is spotless, home shoppers will know just how much you have loved the home you're selling.
Paint
Add a fresh perspective with a fresh coat of paint. Pick something subdued yet on trend to show off your home in its most fashionable state. Not only will newly painted walls look cleaner and newer, the smell just says œnew too!
Decorate
Small decor items are another great way to add current style to your home without costing a fortune. Throw pillows on newly cleaned couches or lively potted plants have a way of freshening up an entire space. Really looking to make a favorable impression on homebuyers? Consider having your home staged for expert sprucing.
Curb appeal
If your home's interior is your house's first impression, then your front door and garden are its prequel. Add some colorful potted plants to your doorstep, mow your lawn, and consider a fresh coat of paint on your door.
