Follow These Tips to Bring Out Your Home’s Beauty!

When preparing your home for sale, follow these tips:

1. Work on your curb appeal. This could be trimming your yard, planting flowers, sweeping your doorstep and even wiping down your doors. Your first impression needs to be warm, welcoming and awesome!
2. De-cluttering your home. Take down any personal pictures and remove anything that you will not be using from now until the time you sell the house. Pack it up and put it out in the garage! If you decide to list with the Dar Walden Team, I will walk through the house and help you with this.
3. Kitchen. De-cluttering is especially important when it comes to the kitchen – completely clean off your countertops and only keep things that you use every day. The countertops need to look large and inviting! This also goes for the refrigerator and cabinet tops. The kitchen and master bedroom are the two biggest influences on a potential buyer. 
4. Master bedroom. When de-cluttering your master bedroom, be sure to remove items from your night stands, leave only the essentials and buy a presentable bed ensemble. May your bed look fluffy and inviting!
5. Bathroom. Make sure your bathroom is clean – especially your mirrors! If you use the energy efficient light bulbs, swap them out for tradition light bulbs. Since the energy efficient bulbs take time to warm up, this could harm your bathroom’s appeal. Lighting is very important – especially here in Alaska!
6. Touch up your walls. If there any dents or chips in your walls, be sure to touch them up. Be sure to clean your baseboards and if anything needs to be re-caulked, don’t hesitate to do so.
7. Clean your carpets.
