Make sure your real estate agent has a professional photographer to take photos of your home. Also, have your home staged before the photos are taken to add additional interest.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

It's normal to be both excited and sad about moving on! Before packing up the rooms, take a video so you can cherish memories for years to come.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

It’s important to work with an agent who you trust when selling your home. Discuss their commission rate upfront and get their take on what your property is worth.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Not all visitors will be pet-friendly. Even if your pets are people-friendly, you may want to consider having a neighbor or family member take your pet when viewings are scheduled.

Keeping children's toys contained can be challenging, but it’s important to keep toys at bay when people are coming to tour. Throw toys in wicker storage baskets to keep them out of sight.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Consider if there are any rooms you don’t need to use daily, and keep them closed off. This way, you don’t have to worry about keeping the entire house tidy at all times, just the rooms you use.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

If you don't think people will be looking through your storage spaces, think again. Make sure closets and cupboards are tidy and well organized.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Stage your home by removing any excess and adding small details like new decorative pillows on the sofa. Talk to a professional about staging your home to maximize your sale.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Your home may smell like home to you, but the smell of your home may be unpleasant to others. Make sure to neutralize smells before inviting potential buyers in!

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Little things like hanging new towels and keeping counters clean can make a big difference in the first impression a potential buyer gets when walking through your home.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Not only will this make your house more presentable for potential buyers, but you’ll get the added bonus of weeding out unnecessary items before you move them all to a new space.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Take a walk around your home and identify any minor issues needing attention. A leaky faucet or chipping paint may signal to potential buyers that the home has been neglected.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

When replacing floors, choose neutral colors and opt for non-carpeted surfaces. Wood laminate flooring may be an affordable option that you can learn how to install yourself as well.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Even small kitchen updates, like swapping an old dull sink for a shiny new one, will add big value to your home.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Some changes to consider for the most bang for your buck include replacing an outdated vanity, old plumbing, and lighting fixtures, or adding a new tile floor.

[Jim Weese @JVWeese]

Installing new fixtures can pay-off in the long run. Replace that squeaky ceiling fan with a newer model. Rather than revamping your entire HVAC system, look into adding an automated thermostat.

Make your space feel larger by bringing in light, adding mirrors, and clearing out the clutter!
