Portland Oregon Home Owner – How to Get Your Home Ready For Sale

 

By Katie Bain

2015 is shaping up to be a great year for Real Estate and if you’re planning on selling your Portland Oregon Home you can start getting your home ready for sale NOW by following these simple tips.

Tip 1 – Remove Your Personal Touches from Your Home

Take the time to remove your favorite wallpaper, repaint bright and unusual colors with neutral tones, and replace family photos with simple photos of landscapes or other non-distracting styles.

Replace these personal touches so a homebuyer will be impressed with the space and features that your home offers, instead of being distracted by how you’ve decorated your home over the years.

Tip 2 – Start Getting Ready To Move Now

Prepare for moving to your next home by starting to pack up your home now.  Pack away an unnecessary items and keep only your essentials to give your home, cabinets, and closets a more spacious feel.

Packing up your house will also help you to visualize leaving your current house and moving onto your next home, so that you can be more emotionally prepared to move once you do sell your home.

Tip 3 – Start De-Cluttering Your Portland Oregon Home Today

Last of all, every home has clutter and it’s important to eliminate that clutter from your Portland Oregon Home today. 

De-cluttering your home also involves removing oversized furniture and moving furniture around for the best flow and to draw attention to the features of a room.

Your goal is to emphasize space so that potential homebuyers will envision themselves living in your home and be impressed with its space.
