How to Prepare Your Jacksonville FL Home for Sale

You should not even consider listing your Jacksonville FL home for sale until you've considered these

critical recommendations to get your property show-ready from the start. Detailed here are my most

practical and effective suggestions for staging and pricing your Jacksonville FL home for sale.

Recommendations for staging your Jacksonville FL home for sale

A seller’s first thought may be to spruce up their home with air fresheners or candles. But be careful

with fragrances, especially right before showing your home to prospective buyers. Consider that

customers could be sensitive or allergic, or simply have different likes than you. Your favorite scent may

be a turn-off to someone else. While you can’t please everyone, your safest bet is to be as neutral as

possible to reach the greatest pool of prospective purchasers.

Often sellers end up hurting themselves by taking extremes—either ignoring odors all together or by

overcompensating for them. Remember to just keep it simple. Start by giving your home a deep cleaning

(or hire someone else to clean it). Then use only fresh, clean scents or try periodically opening windows

and doors to circulate fresh new air. Another secret sellers use is to pop some cookies into the oven

prior to showings in order to create an inviting aroma.

Organize that clutter in your Jacksonville FL home for sale!

The longer you reside in a home, the more stuff you are likely to amass. Clutter accumulates quickly

when you don’t implement a strategy for maintaining it. In addition to normal clutter, keep in mind that

your décor is a potential distraction to prospective buyers. What some consider sentimental, strangers

may view as clutter or distraction. You want future home buyers to feel like they just stepped into THEIR

next home, not someone else’s. They should feel at home rather than feeling like visitors. To create this

kind of neutral appealing environment, you must enlist the help of an objective third-party. Talk to

friends, a real estate agent or staging consultant to get an honest evaluation. Sellers have acquired

superior results by enlisting the help of a capable professional. Professionally staged homes frequently

sell faster and for higher prices.

Keep these final tips in mind. Concentrate on your home's natural features, like windows and fireplaces.

Rearrange or remove furniture to draw attention to these features. Your home must transition from a

practical arrangement to a presentation mode. Start boxing up decorations and personal items like

picture frames. Put files and children’s homework into neat storage containers that can be easily put

away during showings. Pull weighty furniture out of the room or away from windows. Avoid blocking

natural sources of light. Open curtains and blinds and free up space around entrances and doorways.

Finally, consider repainting or adding fresh carpet if necessary. Choose neutral colors to appeal to the

widest potential audience. These are some of the few expenses that will still render a return on

investment, usually in the form of a quicker sale.
