Go From Listed to Sold With These 3 Budget-Friendly and Simple Improvements

Looking for tips to help you prep and stage your home? The Batchelor Hanna Group – Simply Vegas is filled with the home improvement and project resources you need. That includes the handy links and pointers below for sprucing up your home for selling without draining your wallet, your time, or your energy! Here are three simple and inexpensive ideas: 

Simple Project #1: Declutter and Deep Clean Every Single Room 

Want to show off your home’s best features? Decluttering and cleaning can help! Plus, it’s free! 

• Whether your home will be shown in-person or virtually, getting rid of clutter and taking down personal decor will definitely boost its appeal. 
• As a matter of fact, when asked which step sellers can take to increase home value and help their home sell faster, most realtors will answer decluttering and deep cleaning! 
• Here’s a handy guide to decluttering if you have selling in mind. 

Simple Project #2: Spruce Things Up With Budget-Friendly Touches

Again, personal decor is a “no-no” — but your home still needs personality to really impress buyers. 

• If your rooms are looking a little blah after decluttering, you can perk them up with easy updates. Peel-and-stick wallpaper can add to a room’s attractiveness but can also be easily removed if the buyer prefers.
• Add crown molding around ceilings, walls, doors, and more. 
• To update cabinets in bathrooms, kitchens, and other spaces without spending a lot of time or money, swap out old hardware for more updated, stylish options. 

Simple Project #3: Take Care of Any Visible Repair Needs or Issues 

Aesthetics and style are important. However, you should also handle basic fixes. 

• Once you’ve gotten rid of clutter and made some improvements, take a walk around your home and see if you can spot any needed repairs. Buyers will spot them, too! 
• Worried about having to cover hefty contractor costs for these repairs? If you have some basic tools and a little extra time, you can likely take care of them yourself. 
• Just keep in mind that while cutting costs is always a plus when you’re selling a home, that shouldn’t mean sacrificing safety. There are just some repairs that require a pro. 
• Don’t forget about the outside of your house as well! If your lawn needs work, you’ll be better off in the long run if you simply search Angi for “lawn care companies” and get it done right.

Selling a home is all about staging, and staging should be all about showing off a property’s best features. You can accomplish all of this for less by focusing on decluttering, cleaning, small improvements, and any needed repairs. Finally, don’t forget to call in the pros when needed!
