Here are four things homesellers can do to help sell their homes in today's market -
1. Get Your Photos online: First, stage your property (through EYH), then get great photos taken and get them online. EYH will work with your Realtor and their professional photographer to make sure the job is done right. In today's market the internet is the first place buyers will see your property, so those photos have to be terrific. We cannot stress this enough!
2. Make it clutter-free : Go through the house and declutter, with a capital "D". Go through the house with a fine toothed comb and remove excess clothing and furnishings. This will make the closets and rooms appear larger. And don't forget the basement and the garage. Remember, donations are a tax deduction, so get everything out of the house by donating your extra clothing, furniture or accessories to a worthy cause.

3. Clean, clean, clean: Buyers need to see houses that are "white glove" clean. So, don't be afraid to bring in a professional cleaning crew to clean your house from top to bottom before it goes on the market. And, don't forget to professionally clean the carpets and draperies too.
3. Depersonalize: You want Buyers to fall in love with your home the minute they walk through your door. To make this happen they need to see themselves living in your house. And, they can't do that if all they see are photos of your family hanging on the walls. I know it's difficult to put those memories away, but it's just until the house sells and remember you'll be taking those with you to your new place.
Remember, the best time to stage your house is now! Give Enhance Your Home a call at 847-748-7777 because we can help.
