BLOG - PREPARING YOUR HOUSE FOR WINTER SALE

Hey everyone.
Dave here again, and today I’ll be discussing preparing your home for a potential winter sale. If you’re not looking to catch the fall market, here are a couple things to do in preparation for a winter sale.
Firstly, I would like to get some summer photos taken now. Every buyer would like to see what your property looks like in the summer months. Pictures of well-manicured gardens, freshly cut grass, a pristine open pool if you have one, and trees in full bloom before the leaves fall are all pictures a buyer would love to see to envision themselves enjoying the summer months in your home.
After that, deadhead all your gardens, have all the leaves raked up once they fall, and do any exterior work required before the snow flies. Things like exterior caulking, paint touchups, sealing the driveway, organizing and decluttering your garage, sheds and outbuildings.
Things that can become a pain in the winter because if you’ve decided to move, be proactive and get organized while the weather permits. Oh, and lastly, county sellers…get your septic pumped now.
A buyer will most likely ask for the septic to be pumped and inspected so being able to supply a receipt of a recent pumping and inspection avoids you having to try and chisel through frozen ground and get it pumped in the winter months. Anyways, just a couple tips if you’re planning on listing in the winter.
See you next time when I talk about some things to consider when buying a home…you might not consider.
See you then!
