If you are considering listing your home for sale this Spring one of our Sage Executive Group Realtors will be happy to help you start the process.  You might consider a home staging company to get your property looking its absolute best but there’s a lot of things you can do yourself.   Here are some ideas to get you started.

De-Clutter

This is so important.  Buyers want to see how spacious your place is.  By starting now you will have time to go through those drawers and cupboards that you will need to empty when you move anyway.  Why not save yourself moving stuff you  don’t use? Clothes, shoes, books, toys, extra pots and pans can all go, or, at least be boxed up and stored until after the sale. You might not realize that buyers have a tendency to open closets and cupboards! If they look crowded buyers will assume storage will be tight for them as well.

Too much furniture can also make a space look cluttered. Your home will look bigger...

Mortgage Rep
Odds are you’ll need a mortgage to finance this operation. Shop around a little and explore your options. Remember to ask about the flexibility of the product you are considering. Start with these important questions.

• Is the mortgage portable? (transferrable to another property if you move before the term is up)
• What are the penalties if I sell and don’t buy another property before the term is up?
• Can I make lump sum payments throughout the term?

The rate is important, flexibility is too. Decide...
