The Portland market is one of the hottest in the country, and many people have been wondering what they can do to get top dollar for their home this spring. If you’re thinking of selling, you’re in luck. Today we are going to be talking about all the ways you can prepare your home to sell in the spring. Here’s what you need to do to make sure you get top dollar when it comes time to list your home.

 1. Get a professional cleaning
You can save a bit of money by giving your home a deep clean yourself, but we highly recommend spending the few hundred dollars for professional cleaners to make sure your home really shines and stands out to buyers.

2. Paint for touch-ups
Adding a fresh coat of paint or just touching up some areas where you have nicks or scratches is also a great idea.



3. Spruce up your landscaping
You want your home to have an absolutely fabulous first impression. The best way to do this is by making sure it has great curb appeal, which includes spruced up landscaping and a clean front porch with plenty of flowers.

4. An inspection
Getting a professional inspection done before you list your home is a really smart idea. Yes it will cost you $300 to $400 up front, but it will also give your home leverage in the market because there aren’t any surprises left and you can be sure the home is in good shape.

Those are the four things that come top of mind when thinking about what you can start doing right now to get your home ready for the spring market. If you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. We’d love to hear from you!
