What should I do
to the interior of my property, before I list it for sale?
Every room should look as spacious, bright, and warm as
possible.
- Wash walls, ceilings, and trim.
Consider painting with light, neutral colours. Repair
cracks.
- Tighten loose knobs, towel racks,
switch plates, and outlet covers.
- Fix tight doors and windows,
squeaky floorboards, and loose stair banisters.
- Clean and repair caulking around
tubs and sinks. Fix leaky faucets; remove water stains.
- Clean and organize the basement
and attic. (This is a good opportunity to throw out all
the bits and pieces you don't want to move.)
- Organize closets. Get rid of the
clutter. Limit the number of items stored overhead or on
the floor.
- Clean out kitchen cabinets, and
remove clutter from countertops.
- Clean drapes, blinds, and
curtains. Shampoo carpets, and wax floors.
- Now's a good time to spray for
bugs.
- Arrange furniture to make rooms
appear as spacious as possible.
- Remove any items you're taking
with you, such as chandeliers and mirrors.
