Preparing Your Home as “For Sale by Owner”

Preparing Your Home as “For Sale by Owner”

Without the help of a qualified real estate agent, preparing and selling your home yourself can seem overwhelming. Here are a few things you can do to prepare your home as For Sale by Owner. 

Keep It Neat and Tidy

It goes without saying that your home needs to be in tip-top shape when potential buyers pay you a visit. Make sure that it’s clean, that there are no toys or clothes lying about, and that each room is neat and tidy. 

Keep Your Pets in Check 

If you know that your dog likes to jump on guests or that your cat loves strolling on your kitchen counters, try to either keep them separated or outside when you have potential buyers coming over. 

Consider Doing Repairs or Maintenance

If you can afford to, make any necessary repairs before your first viewers tour your home. It could make a significant difference to the price you can set and get for your property. Something as simple as mowing the lawn or fixing a creaky shutter could help you make a more memorable impression on a potential buyer. 

See It from Their Point of View 

Imagine you are the potential buyer stepping into your home for the first time. What are the things you might notice first? What are possible issues you might feel worried about? This will help you highlight your home’s strengths and assets, while preparing to answer questions they may have.
