No matter how much you love your home, it’s always a good idea to prepare for potential buyers who might not share the same sentiment. One of the most important steps is making sure your house is free of all junk and clutter. There are many things that we take for granted in our homes that can be removed without much effort or cost- like old newspapers, kitchen supplies, clothing, and more! Scroll through this post to see what a difference we can make to your property!
In this blog post, we will take you through what it takes to prepare a property for sale. And cleanup is the first step! In order to get your house ready to sell as quickly and efficiently as possible, there are many things that need attention. Your junk needs removal – especially any items that can trigger buyers to think about the item as a liability.
For example, old newspapers that are strewn about the house can make potential buyers think of pests or fire hazards. Kitchen supplies with food residue and garbage throughout your home might lead them to believe you’re not a clean person who takes care of their property well.
The Junk Removal Guys has had years of experience in helping homeowners prepare for sale by removing junk – including furniture, trash, clothing, toys, and more! In this blog post, we will take you through what steps it will take to get your home ready for sale- all while keeping any unwanted items off the floor!
Step #01
Pick up any clothes on the floor and put them either in an armoire (if there is one) or closet so they don’t look messy if a buyer walks by.
Step #02
Pick up any newspapers or magazines that are scattered about and put them in a box so they’re not visible to potential buyers as pests could be an issue with old paper, or it can make buyers believe you don’t take care of your home well if there is food residue on the pages.
Step #03
Put away all kitchen supplies like cooking oils, spices, open packages of sugar/flour, etc., so that they aren’t out for a prospective buyer to see when they walk through your house because this might lead them to think you have pest issues inside from items being left out (kitchen products attract bugs) or it may make them think you’re not neat enough of a person and that your home is not well-kept.
Step #04
If you have any personal items in the bathroom such as clothes, hair styling supplies, or makeup – hide them away so they don’t become a distraction for buyers and potential showings.
Step #05
Pick up all toys/games to put into designated bins so that kids’ messes are dealt with efficiently without making it an eyesore when people walk through your house because this can make prospective buyers think of pests and fire hazards right off the bat if there are old newspaper bits scattered about on the floor.
