If you’re a home seller who wants to get top dollar, be sure to follow these three tips:

1. Spruce up your curb appeal. When someone drives by your property or walks up to your front door, you don’t want them to get a bad impression. Be sure to have a professional take high-quality photos for your online listings so that buyers will be drawn to your home. Also, clean up your front yard and entryway so that your first impression is positive and powerful.

2. Freshen up your interior. That includes decluttering, touching up your paint where necessary, replacing broken light fixtures, and getting rid of any lingering odors. Focus on your bathrooms and kitchens since they’re the most important rooms to many buyers.

“Installing smart technologies in your home will increase its appeal to buyers.”

3. Update technologies. There are many smart home technologies available in today’s market, including smart thermostats, exterior lighting systems, security systems, door locks, and more. Installing these products in your home will increase its appeal to buyers, especially younger buyers.
