After your home is in perfect shape, remember these few things to keep it showing well:

  1. Declutter and Depersonalize: Clear out excess belongings and personal items. A clutter-free, neutral space allows buyers to envision themselves living in your home.
  2. Listen to Feedback: Pay attention to feedback from showings. If buyers consistently mention a specific item, consider fixing it to enhance your home’s appeal.
  3. Redo photos after making cosmetic upgrades and decluttering to make the listing more welcoming.

By following these steps and working closely with a skilled Realtor, you can increase your chances of selling your home quickly, even in a slower market.
