Preparing Your Home For Sale

Adding value to your home

Will a can of paint result in thousands of dollars added to your home's sale price? It's possible.
While you know your home is valuable, sometimes all it takes is a few minor improvements to help potential buyers see the same value we see. 

We’ve outlined the a number of popular upgrades below. Al Pratte with The Pratte Group, a division of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties, can help prioritize each by determining which projects will add the most value based on your specific home, neighborhood and market area.

Tips to Get You Started
Interior

~ DECLUTTER
Your closets looks twice as big with half the hodgepodge.

~ PAINT
A fresh coat of neutral paint is viewed as a blank canvas to potential buyers.

~ DECORATE
Show buyers that each room has a purpose, but don't overdo the decor.

~ BRIGHTEN
Lighting, especially natural sunlight, really does help lift the mood and make a room feel larger.


Exterior

~ Paint
A fresh coat of paint really can make almost any exterior look new again.

~LANDSCAPE
If the landscaping is not appealing, buyers likely won't step inside.

~ GARAGE
Prove that cars can actually fit inside by organizing the space.

~PATIO & DECK
Set up the outdoor space as if guests are coming over for a barbeque.
