1. Add a Touch of Spring Inside

Bright and fun, pops of spring colour can work wonders to a room’s natural appeal. Consider adding an arrangement of colourful, fresh cut flowers to your kitchen and hang a bright, spring themed painting on the living room wall. If you’re looking to make a big change, think about adding a fresh coat of paint in a light colour to any room in your home to give the room a refreshed feeling. Your home will be left looking vibrant and could leave a lasting impression for buyers looking online and in person.

2. Deep Clean Inside

Put on some rubber gloves – it’s time to get to work! Think top to bottom, starting with dusting and removing any pesky cobwebs, then make your way down to the floors, vacuuming and mopping up messes. We recommend doing a deep clean of the kitchen and bathrooms as well, buffing the faucets to make them sparkle and shine. If you’re getting overwhelmed, it might be time to call backup. We can recommend some of the best cleaners in the area. If you’d like a recommendation, just let us know!

3. Spruce Up the Yard

Giving the exterior of your property some love is just as important as making the inside sparkle. Tackle tasks such as raking up any debris, seeding the lawn, trimming shrubs, removing weeds and adding fertilizer. It’s also a great time to wash your windows and clean vinyl siding, interlocking stones and wooden or composite decking. The exterior of your home will be left looking fresh and inviting for buyers looking from near and far.

4. Enhance Curb Appeal

Goodbye snow, hello spring colours! A time of fresh smells, bright flowers and lush, green grass, selling in the spring comes with natural curb appeal. Taking extra steps to enhance the look can help invite prospective buyers into your home. Consider repainting your front door or garage in a neutral colour, adding planters around your front door and changing lightbulbs in outdoor lights. First impressions matter. Enhance the curb appeal of your home to give your home a great one.

5. Make Mini Repairs

Most of us have heard the expression a little can go a long way. The saying is true when it comes to making small repairs around your house or property. In terms of increasing the value of your house, taking action and fixing small issues can go a long way. Do a walkthrough of your property and check for anything that’s broken or could use a refresh and make repairs as needed. If you’d like a recommendation for a trusted contractor, let us know. We’re partners with some of the best in the industry.

6. Contact a Real Estate Agent

As soon as you’re considering selling, it’s ideal to get in touch with a local Agent. Getting in touch early will help you ensure you have everything in place to get your house market ready in your desired timeline. If you’re not sure when the best time to sell is or if you’d like advice on your real estate goals, an Agent can help with that, too.
