10 Tips To Sell Your Home Fast This Summer


With real estate up and running in Philadelphia, now is a perfect time to get your home on the market, and ready to sell! We’ve put together a list of 10 DIY upgrades and tips to help you get your home sold! 



1. Make Lighting Updates

Changing up lamp shades or installing some new light fixtures are both super easy DIY fixes that can breathe new life into a tired room! Also consider removing heavy drapes from windows to allow the most natural light into your space! 

2. Show Your Bathroom Some Love

Quick and easy bathroom updates, like fresh tile grout or an updated vanity mirror, make a world of difference for using and photographing a bathroom space! With just a few supplies, it is a simple process to brighten up tile grout on floors and in showers!

3. Refresh Your Space With Paint

Painting common spaces and bedrooms with natural colors is not only easier on the eyes than bright colors, especially when photographing your house to list, but make it easier for the new home buyer to make the space their own. Consider re-painting kids bedrooms with simple hues to make every room feel fresh! 


4. Deep Clean

Think of this as an upgrade to your usual Spring cleaning routine, and think like a buyer! Dust baseboards, crown molding, fans and light fixtures, and be sure to pay attention to the nooks and crannies in every room! Taking the time to polish and shine windows will allow natural light to enter your space, and simple touch ups like scrubbing light switches and door tracks can make your home look like new! 

5. Consider Outdoor Updates 

For the most aesthetically pleasing photos of your exterior, take some time to plant seasonal flowers, or place potted plants by your front door. Not only will this increase your curb appeal, it will also make your home more welcoming to open-house visitors and passers by looking to purchase a new home. 


6. Depersonalize

Curating your home ever so slightly will make it more appealing to buyers! Consider removing framed family photos and replacing them with simple artwork to keep the lived in look, while removing some more personal flair. Your buyers want to see a live-able space, but not photos from your family trip to Disney

7. Hire A Photographer

While it may seem straightforward enough to photograph the rooms in your home, professional photographers are always the best way to go. Hiring a professional photographer ensures that every photo you get will be crisp and high quality, and will capture each room in their best light -  literally and figuratively! 


8. Upgrade and Make Repairs

To avoid the negotiation pitfall of inspections, take some time to note all the things in your home and on your property that may need repairs. Crooked front steps or faulty gutters will cost you down the line, and making these updates yourself will help you get your house sold faster, without having to negotiate new prices!

9. Don’t Cut Corners

The most important thing to keep in mind when looking to sell your home is to make use of a top real estate agent. Not only will this eliminate the stress of listing, and managing your listing, on your own, but professional real estate agents are well connected and have the experience you’ll need to sell your home fast! 


10.  Be Realistic

With the help of a real estate agent, you can easily figure out how much you should be listing your house for! Avoiding an overly high list price that may turn away potential buyers is easy when you have the right tools. Ask your agent for their tips and advice on the best ways to determine the right listing price for your property!
