Thinking of selling this spring? Believe it or not, NOW is the time to prepare your home for the market. A few home improvements can go a long way toward making a favorable impression on potential buyers when you decide to list.

Getting your home looking its best doesn’t have to be costly or complicated either — here is a list of suggestions I typically give my sellers on how to prep their home to sell quickly and get top dollar.

① Clean & Declutter
You want buyers to focus on how great your space is, not how messy or dirty it looks. You want buyers to envision themselves in your space, so keeping up a tidy house is crucial. Start by depersonalizing and organizing, and getting rid of anything that you no longer want or need.

② Neutral Colors
As much as you might love your bright red kitchen or plum purple living room, buyers may not. Repaint any bold-colored rooms with neutral tones such as light grays and whites that allow buyers to focus on the spaces themselves, not the color of the walls.

③ Complete a Mini Renovation
Small updates can make a big difference in the overall feel of a room. Kitchen a little outdated? Replace the k***s, light fixtures, kitchen faucet, and even consider painting the cabinets. This same concept works in bathrooms as well!
