If you want your home to sell for top dollar in the fastest time possible, you want your home to make the best first impression. As obvious as that sounds, it's even more true in a market with a large percentage of second-home buyers. A buyer is going to walk around and visualize themself in your home. Clutter may make it a bit of a challenge for your potential buyers to picture this as their new home. An unorganized house may give the impression the home does not have enough space. Make the small repairs such as fixing loose handles or doors that do not close properly. Buyers may assume the home has not been maintained very well if there are small things not working properly.

Some sellers will have a third-party inspection performed prior to listing and address all items prior to going live with selling their home. This gives seller more peace of mind a buyer will see their house is move-in ready!
