People like extremes sometimes, so lets discuss one of the extremes when considering getting a home ready to sell.
So, what is the least I can do to prep my home? The short answer to this is “nothing”. Professional home buyers make their living purchasing homes “as-is” and those homes are often full of contents…lots and lots of contents, so there is that as an option. These homes are purchased at a discount, however, so if you want to list your home and compete on the retail market, it is a good idea to do – at least – the least you can do.
1. Clean the house.
Sounds simple, but do it – roll up your sleeves and clean the house really, really well – top to bottom, inside and out, windows, corners, baseboards, garage, yard. Clean it like you need to get your deposit back.
2. Change the burnt-out lightbulbs.
Make sure they match in lumens and color. Burnt or mismatched lightbulbs signal a lack of care. This is low hanging fruit.
3. Get rid of the junk.
Declutter – Take out the Trash – Donate items that may be useful to others.
Use a storage unit if you have items you want to keep for you next house.

Reach out to family and friends to get you over the hump when these feelings get too big and if you have any specific questions on the whats, hows, or whys, Just Ask!
