Are you ready to sell your Lake Nacimiento home soon? If you are, that means it’s time to start prepping your home for a sale! As your Lake Nacimiento real estate agent, allow me to fill you in with tips on how to do this. The more you get done before listing, the faster a home sale may take place.

As a Central Coast home seller, there are plenty of ways you can clean, stage and prepare your home for listing photos, showings and open houses. The key is the make your Lake Nacimiento home look like a place that a buyer will want to live. This means taking away some of your own personal knickknacks, dirt and clutter, and allowing a buyer to imagine what he or she could do with the place.

Here are some suggestions for the outside of your Central Coast home:

• If your front entry could use some help, give your front door a fresh coat of paint, or replace it with a new one! This upgrade yields the highest ROI value.

• Landscaping can show a buyer that your home is well taken care of. If you have gardens, trees, etc., trim and make them look presentable. If you don’t have landscaping, add some plotted plants or flowers to your front entryway to give it a burst of color.

• Clean and wash. Be sure to clean and declutter your garage, as this is a space that easily collects clutter over time. Power wash your siding, windows, address numbers, welcome mat, and anything else that looks dirty or dingy. Replace burnt out bulbs outside if there are any.

Here are some suggestions for inside your Lake Nacimiento home:

• Declutter, organize and clean everything. If this sounds daunting, it can be, so the sooner you get started, the better! Remove anything that you don’t use or need, organize what is left, and scrub down all surfaces, floors, windows, etc.

• If you could use a few upgrades before selling, a fresh coat of paint always goes a long way and is an affordable option. Replacing the carpet could also improve the look of your home if it is needed.

• Stage each room so that it has a purpose. If you have a bonus room, stage it as a bedroom. Most buyers prefer to see that a home has more bedroom options than to see that it has a workout room, office, etc.

• Fix any minor repairs that are needed. Make sure doors don’t squeak, light bulbs all work, windows easily open and close, toilets all flush, sinks and tubs don’t drip, and so on.
