Preparing to sell your home involves several steps to ensure you get the best possible price and attract potential buyers. Here's a checklist to help you get ready:

Declutter and Depersonalize: Remove personal items and excess clutter to make your home look spacious and inviting. Potential buyers should be able to envision themselves living there.

 Deep Clean: Give your home a thorough cleaning, including carpets, windows, walls, and floors. A clean home is more appealing to buyers.

Make Repairs: Fix any noticeable issues such as leaky faucets, cracked tiles, or chipped paint. These small repairs can make a big difference in the perceived value of your home.

Enhance Curb Appeal: First impressions matter. Make sure the exterior of your home is well-maintained by mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, and planting flowers if necessary. Consider painting the front door and repairing any visible exterior damage.
