Today, we discuss the four things you need to do to sell your home after the holidays. Let's get right to it! 

1. Pack up and organize: Do you have anything in your home that's outdated or unnecessary? Get rid of it! If you have something you can take apart, make sure you're storing it somewhere it looks light, bright, and neat. People are going to be walking through your home - this is the first step to take when selling.
2. Take a look around: Look for issues with the property. Make sure there aren't any scuff marks on the walls, food stains on the ceiling or floor, and other things that may go unnoticed until certain things are moved around. We're finding that 25% of contracts are falling through due to maintenance and repair items, so make sure to take care of those items up front so you can get maximum value.
3. Check out the inside of your house: You may notice faulty gutters, or siding that has been damaged. Additionally, make sure your landscaping is looking good.
4. Consult a professional: A real estate agent knows things that will help your home sell quickly and for top dollar. We have a 75-point photography checklist, an inspector that will check out the home, and a stager that will make it look nice. Just keep in mind that there are a number of things you can do to get maximum value out of your property!
