If you plan on selling your Pittsburgh home this spring, there are a few things you need to do in order to get the best results. Here are four tips to help you accomplish your selling goals this spring:

1. Get a pre-inspection. This will save you the trouble of dealing with minor repairs once you already have a buyer on the line. A pre-inspection will tell you everything you need to know about your home so you aren’t taken by surprise later in the process. Also, it’s cheaper to do repairs up front than to wait until later!
2. Meet with your agent upfront. Do a quick walkthrough with a real estate professional. They will give you tips for how to make your home more appealing to buyers. They’ll tell you whether you need to replace carpet, repaint some walls, or make other minor changes.
3. Declutter and depersonalize. This is probably the #1 thing you need to do when getting your home ready to sell. Get some boxes and pack up anything you don’t need or won’t use in the coming months. You also want to make sure your countertops are clear and free of debris. 
4. Curb appeal. The exterior of your home is the first impression a potential buyer gets of your house. Freshen up your landscaping, mow the yard, and trim your plants and bushes in order to make your home look pristine. If you have patches of grass that are missing, you need to replace them now so the new grass has a chance to grow in.

These four tips should help you to get the best results when selling this spring. If you would like additional tips, or if you have real estate questions of any kind, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!
