Selling Secret: Confirm You Have Proper Home Insurance

Your lender will help with this, but it’s good to make sure you have the appropriate insurance when showing your home. You’ll want to make sure you’re covered if a potential buyer has an accident when touring your home. It’s also good to make sure there are no obvious hazards like a loose floorboard, missing handrail, or loose dog on the property.

When decorating, look for ways to add both function and style. A console table can provide a place to drop keys and mail, while also providing a surface for displaying a vase of fresh flowers. A shelf or coat rack can help keep clutter off the floor.

When it comes to your home, you want potential buyers to walk in and see a clean, well-maintained space they can easily envision themselves in. It's important to neutralize your home's décor before putting it on the market. Bright colors, loud patterns, and unique architectural elements can be major turnoffs for some buyers. While some may love it, keep it neutral to appeal to the masses.
