Getting ready for a showing can take a lot of work! Here are some things to do to help get your house show ready!

1. Make sure the house looks as it does in your listing photos. Those photos are what grabbed the potential buyer’s attention.

2. Make sure your home is clean and organized. Open the blinds to let in natural light, and ensure there is nothing to distract people from what they came to see.

3. Storing your personal belongings will help potential buyers to visualize themselves in the space. Take a quick walk through your home before each showing to ensure nothing is out of place.

4. Light a nice scented candle or better yet open the windows to let in some fresh air.

5. Don’t forget curb appeal! A fresh cut lawn, clean windows, and freshly painted trim can go a long way.

Thinking of selling? Here are a few things to keep in mind when preparing to sell.

HOME REPAIRS
Before your property gets listed, you may incur some expenses to get it ready for the market. Fresh paint may cost a few hundred or a few thousand dollars. Landscaping and other repairs may come into play and require substantial investments depending on what needs to be completed.

HOME INSPECTOR PRE-INSPECTION REPORTS
Sometimes, sellers have their house inspected prior to putting it on the market. This report can give assurance to buyers contemplating submitting an offer on the property. We can advise whether or not to get a pre-inspection report as part of our marketing strategy discussions.

PENALTY FOR EARLY DISCHARGE OF MORTGAGE
If you have to discharge your mortgage upon completing your sale, you may incur a discharge penalty from the mortgagee to do this. Talk to your mortgage broker or bank to find out what these costs may be. Even an open mortgage can incur a processing fee to be discharged.

Here are the three main reasons why a seller might book a pre-listing inspection before selling:

1. Identify and Address Issues Early
Proactive Repairs: Discovering potential problems before listing allows the seller to make necessary repairs or improvements. This can help avoid surprises during the buyer’s inspection, which might otherwise lead to renegotiations or lost deals.

2. Pricing Accuracy
Accurate Valuation: Knowing the exact condition of the property helps in setting a realistic and competitive asking price. This can attract serious buyers and potentially lead to quicker sales.
Negotiation Leverage: A pre-listing inspection report can be used as a tool during negotiations, providing evidence of the home’s condition and justifying the asking price.

3. Smoother Transaction Process
Faster Closing: Addressing issues beforehand can lead to a smoother and faster closing process, as there will be fewer contingencies and delays caused by unexpected repairs or renegotiations.
Buyer Confidence: Providing a pre-listing inspection report can add confidence in potential buyers, making them more likely to proceed with the purchase and potentially reducing the likelihood of the deal falling through.

By opting for a pre-listing inspection, sellers can ensure a more transparent, efficient, and potentially profitable sale.
