Boost Your Home's Value

Before you sell your home, you will want to get in the best shape you can so that it appeals to buyers.

●       Depersonalize each room and space in your home so that prospective buyers can visualize living in your home.

●       Pour time and energy into enhancing your home's curb appeal, which will go a long way in making a solid first impression.

Prepare for Your Downsize

A significant part of downsizing is paring down your possessions to avoid having too much clutter in your new home.

●       Take time to purge your belongings and sort each item into a pile to keep, sell, donate, or discard.

●       Pack all of your possessions efficiently by categorizing your moving boxes. Clearly label each box to make unpacking even more effortless.

●       Connect with local movers who can help you pack and transport your belongings to the new home.

●       Find an experienced realty team like Beth G Homes to help you through each step of the home sale and purchase process.

●       Use home improvement websites and apps to learn simple DIY repairs and upgrades you can make to your home for selling.

●       Research the wide range of apps available to help you sell your unwanted items.

●       Utilize organization apps like TaskRabbit, Sortly, and MoveAdvisor to reduce stress and make your relocation go more smoothly.
