If the time has come for you to move out and sell your current property then take a look at the guide below. It is important that you get it right the first time as the last thing you want is for your property to be on the market and remain unsold. 

Find The Best Realtor

The very first thing you should do is find the best person to sell your home. You can decide to do this yourself but it takes a long while to sort everything. It can also be more difficult if you don’t know what you are doing. Using a realtor will ensure that you get the best advice when it comes to listing and selling your home. However, you need to spend some time doing the research before you commit to a realtor. You need to check out reviews first or ask around friends and family members for recommendations. 

Figure Out Where You Are Moving To

Before you sell your home you may need to find somewhere else to live. If you don’t have accommodation already planned out then you need to be on the lookout for a property that suits you. You may be relocating for work or family. If this is the case then make sure you are checking out different areas. Some places may be cheaper than others, but you also need to question why? If an area is notorious for crime then houses are going to be relatively cheap, the last thing you want is to be moving into a bad neighborhood. 

Repairing The Broken Parts

Before you sell your home it may be worth getting a pre-sale inspection carried out. This not only saves time when your home sells but it gives you a list of parts that need to be looked at and potentially repaired. One thing that is quite common on these is the roof. It gets battered every day by the elements so it is no surprise. If your roof needs repairing then contact your local roofing company to come and take a look. 

Sort Out Your Property

Finally, before you place your property on the market there are several things you need to do. Your realtor will give you a list of things that need completing before you sell. One step will include decluttering and deep cleaning your home. In order to do this, you need to go to each room and sort your items into four piles. These consist of belongings you want to keep, sell, throw away, and donate. Getting rid of your unwanted items is a great way to make some room in your home and make some extra cash for the move. When buyers come to look around they don’t want to be me with your stuff all over. They need to be able to see their own belongings filling the spaces available. 

Once you have decluttered, it is time to deep clean. This ensures that your home is sparkling and that all the dirt and dust that has built up over the years has been eradicated. Make sure that you focus not only on the rooms themselves but the flooring. If you have hardwood flooring then sweep, mop, and steam the floor. If you have carpets you should hoover and then shampoo to get rid of any remaining dirt.
