What Should I Do First Before Listing My Home For Sale in Las Vegas

If you’ve decided to list your home for sale there are steps you can take to increase your chances of a quick turnover.  With just a little effort you can make your home much more attractive to buyers without investing too much money.  A well kept house appeals to more buyers and will sell faster and for a higher price.

The first thing you should do when trying to spruce your home up for sale is start cleaning it from top to bottom. Consider shampooing the carpets and wiping tiles to give your house that new home shine. Giving every room in the house a thorough cleaning will make your home appear bigger, brighter and appeal to potential home buyers.

After you clean up, apply a fresh coat of paint to the walls of your house. It’s a small investment that can offers a large return.  While cleaning up dull patches is important to also look into covering up more extravagant colors with something neutral, like beige or even just a basic white.  Painting over outstanding colored walls will help with this next step, which is to declutter and depersonalize.  Your goal is to make the home look simple and benign, to make it easy for any buyer to imagine themselves living there. While decluttering, consider it as if you were putting away or hiding 30% of your possessions.

While trying to sell a home, the kitchen can often be a key selling point on whether a buyer takes a second look or not.  Simple touch ups like fixing up the cabinets or replacing the sink can do wonders for the sale of your home.

Lastly, it is important to make sure your home has good curb appeal, or a buyer may be disinterested before they even make it into the front door.  The best way to improve curb appeal without going overboard is to trim down bushes and pull some weeds before putting the house up for sale.  Create an environment you wouldn’t mind your own children playing on.
