Repairs and touch up:
Have a contractor go over the house looking for needed repairs. Touch up paint, repair holes in walls, fix broken windows, make sure your smoke detector is up to date, have a carbon monoxide detector if needed. Have moss removed from roof without pressure washing it off.
Floodplain:
If your property is in the floodplain obtain the elevation certificate, if you do not already have one. You will need a surveyor to do the survey for elevation.
Declutter house and garage:
Rent a storage unit if you have too much stuff. Designate a room in the house for storage, if you do not want to rent a unit. Stack the boxes in the middle of the room leaving the walls open with a walking space between the stacks and walls. Buyers want to see your house, not your stuff.
Clean house thoroughly:
Deep clean walls, ceilings, carpet, window coverings and furniture to remove smoke and pet odors. If the home has smoke odors, remove and clean the light fixtures and light bulbs. Wash windows, take down the spider webs, clean doors and interior/exterior walls around the doors, especially if you have children or pets.
Mow grass, weed yard beds, trim trees and bushes:
Remove all clutter from yard, junk cars, tires, trash and dead plants. If showing in the growing months, plant annual flowers for instant color. Use potted plants to fill bare spots.
