Some homeowners wait for June or July to put their home on the market. However, February, March, and April are actually busier months for the real estate market. Things slow down in the summer due to the fishing and hunting season. That said, now is the perfect time to prepare your home for the market. 

There have been many times where I talk to a homeowner about preparing their home to sell, and the owner tells me they’ll be ready in a week. Next thing you know, one week turns into four, and the home still isn’t quite ready. Get started now with these four simple tips!


1. Clean up outside. Curb appeal gets people in the door. Put trash cans in the back of the house and consider painting your front door. 

2. Use quality photography. The pictures you put online have to make it look like your home belongs on HGTV. Make your home look as clean and spacious as possible, and consider hiring a professional photographer. 

3. Focus on the kitchen. Take everything off the counters that you don’t use every day. Get everything down from the top of cabinets. You want people to focus on the house and the floor plan, not your clutter. 

4. Clean up the master bedroom. Clean off the dresser and have a nice comforter set for the bed. Keep the curtains open to make the room light and inviting. 

We recommend focusing on the kitchen and the master bedroom because these are the two rooms buyers pay the most attention to. We have many more tips for sellers, so if you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!
