Sellers in Long Island always ask me about how they can quickly and easily increase the value of their home before they sell. Each home is different and will require different remedies, but there are certain things that can help all home sellers.

This might seem obvious, but cleaning and decluttering are the #1 way to get more money for your home. This is really easy, but it requires a lot of effort. We accumulate a lot of belongings, and clutter can distract buyers immensely. 

We're not saying that your belongings are undesirable, they just won't help you to sell your home. It's a good rule of thumb to throw away or pack away at least 1/2 of your belongings before a buyer comes to see your home.

Another easy thing to do before a sale is hiring a professional painter to come in and spruce up your interiors. Paint in an earth tone, or something neutral, and make sure the paint is uniform throughout your home. It's also not a bad idea to have your hardwood floors re-stained. These are some of the best repairs to make before you sell.

If you're interested, I can stop by your home and provide suggestions on how you can improve the look and feel of your home before a sale. If you do it right, buyers will not think twice about purchasing your home.
