THINKING OF SELLING YOUR HOME? WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?!
When selling your home, there is a lot of work that needs to happen before it hits the market. While you could just throw a sign out in front of the home and call it a day, that’s not what’s going to attract the best buye’s! Little things make a big difference when it comes to prepping your home to sell. Declutter, depersonalize, and deep clean! You want potential buyers to look at the beautiful features in your home without focusing so much on your items or dirt and grime. You don’t want them to see crowded closets, and cabinets in cramped rooms, full of furniture and piles of junk mail on the counter. A clean space makes showing experience far more pleasant than a dirty, cluttered home.
:::Tips to start with:::
Spruce up front entry- This is probably the easiest way to add a little face life to your home. The front entryway is the first impressions you get to make on a buyer. Give the front door a fresh coat of paint use a sponge and soapy water to clean the mailbox and add a fun welcome, sign or wreath and decorate with potted plants. Pressure wash exterior. I’m talking about walkways decks patios exterior walls driveways. You can rent pressure washers from local hardware stores or hire a service. This can literally lighten up a home.
Tidy up garage and attic- It’s totally OK to utilize these spaces for storage because you were still living there! Be sure to sweep and dust and cleanly stack items where you can the space does not have to sparkle, but it needs to be walkable.
Neutralize any bad odors- Unfortunately, despite what commercials or air freshener say, you cannot simply plug something in or spray something into the air and to eliminate orders. To help remove to***co odors, or run a humidifier for a couple of days and opening the windows before showing the more aggressive steps may need to be required by professionals. Pet odors, especially cat, urine or common issue that require more than just opening windows cat urine in particular can be really bad. Having professional, deep, clean floors and carpet can change the whole environment. Refresh paint helps revitalize a home and looks fresh.

HI! 👋
I have been blessed with many new followers here on the Story Homes & Co. page and wanted to give y’all a quick rundown of what we are about!
My name is Melissa Story, and I am saved by God’s wonderful Grace and am so humbled by his love for me (AND FOR YOU)! I am a Wife to the best Husband in the WHOLE WORLD, Andrew Story. We just had our first baby -Zeke Story- the most bestest baby EVER, in our opinion! We are just a tad obsessed with that hunk of love! I have many passions in my life including, boating, traveling, comedy shows, card games, and being together with my friends and family. I also have a passion for PEOPLE - That’s why I love helping them BUY and SELL their homes. When buyers and sellers are traveling through the season of buying selling, or investing in their homes-I believe God has gifted me with a tremendous passion to guide them and work for them through that time to accomplish the goals that they have. So, if you live in the box below-or are moving there-or maybe you know someone who is… Will you please give me a call? It would be an HONOR to serve you in your Home Story!
