Have you been thinking about selling your Woodbridge Home?

What should you do to getting your Woodbridge Home ready to put on the market? You want to make sure your house stands out from the other homes for
sale. There are some things you can’t do anything about, like the location and the current market, but CONDITION of the home is something you the seller is in full control.

A lot of sellers do some of the fancy upgrades before they put their house on the market. Don’t wait with these upgrades until you sell your home. Get these updates done while you live in the house and can enjoy them.

What can you do to make your house shine before you put it on the market. Well a lot depends on your budget, don’t go overboard sometimes less is more. Have a local Realtor come by your home and provide you with a Realtor’s opinion of what to do to getting your home ready. In the current market, with limited inventory a clean and well kept house will go a long way. There are some inexpensive ways you can make your home stand out:

Curb Appeal
First impressions make a huge difference.
– Tim your shrubs
– Cut your grass
– Place potted flowers at the door
– Paint Front Door
– Replace doorknobs, mailbox and house numbers if needed


Update Light Fixtures
Update old light fixtures throughout the house.


Shampoo Carpets

Clean carpets can make a world of a difference when it comes to selling your home. 


Reglaze Bathtub and Sink
If you have a dated bathroom, don’t worry you don’t have to invest in a  top to bottom remodel project, but you should consider reglazing. This is a very inexpensive way of making your bathroom look great.


Paint your Home
Painting your home before you put it on the market is on of the cheapest ways to get the highest possible price for your property. Use soft neutral colors.
