Before you put a “For Sale” sign in your home’s front yard, take some time to prepare your Murfreesboro TN home to sell so that you maximize your net profit!
Shift your mindset to that of a buyer instead of a seller. 
Try to think back and remember how keen your eye was to any defects you saw in homes when you were looking to buy a Murfreesboro TN home. Sellers often overlook tiny details like a dripping faucets they are used to, doors that drag when closets are opened, and scuffed walls.
Repair Those Small Annoyances NOW!
Small items can be repaired easily and inexpensively but can have a dramatic impact on your net profit if sellers fail to correct these items they often see of small annoyances before listing their home. Taking the time now to fix these items will help your Murfreesboro TN home show better and make buyers feel confident that your home is well maintained and cared for. On the flip side, tiny items that aren’t repaired can make your home feel like it isn’t well maintained. Buyers usually over estimate the cost of repairs and this results in a significantly lower offer. When the number of tiny repairs keeps adding up, it can also keep some great buyers from making an offer o your home.
Make Repairs NOW to Make Moving Less Stressful
Even if you don’t plan on selling your Murfreesboro TN home for several months, you should starting making repairs now. By taking time to correct tiny items now it will make the process of getting your home on the market much less stressful. Plus, you will have the added benefit of living in your home and enjoy the repairs before you buy a new Murfreesboro TN home and move!
Start from the outside in when looking over your Murfreesboro TN real estate home for any repairs that need to be completed.
Start With Curb Appeal!
Buyer’s start at the curb and so should you! A positive curb appeal for your Murfreesboro TN real estate means a positive showing for your property! Make sure your front yard is cut and trimmed, shutters and windows are painted, the drive is clean and sealed and your entry is welcoming! No dead shrubs or out of season decor! A fresh welcome mat goes a long way to invite buyers into your home with a positive first impression.
Stage Your Home to SELL
Once inside, fresh paint is still the best investment you can make to maximize your net profit on selling your Murfreesboro home. Make sure the kitchen and baths are tidy and clean. Remove as much clutter from the counter tops as possible! Think of a model home and how minimal the decor is for these homes. Toasters, coffee pots, and canisters may be items that we use every day but should actually be removed when we are selling your Murfreesboro TN home.
Neutral decor will appeal to the most buyers. Making your home ultra personal may be a turn off for a buyer who prefers a different type of decor. Decorating and staging your Murfreesboro TN home to sell are not always the same! We decorate to live in our homes but we stage them to sell!
Declutter Closets and Minimize Furniture
Don’t overlook closets which may be over flowing with clothes and shoes. Consider removing extra furniture to open up the size and space of a room. Most Murfreesboro TN homes for sale show better if the homeowners take a little time to downsize before listing their home. Downsizing and placing items in storage now will also make your move much easier.
