Tasks to Complete Before Selling Your Lexington MA Home This Year

It may not feel like it just yet, but spring will be here before we know it! And while home buyers are indeed scouring the market for the perfect home year-round these days, traffic tends to pick up significantly in the spring months. What does that mean for you as a Lexington MA home seller? It means your property must be in tip-top shape to outshine the others on the market and as your local real estate expert, I have included a few tasks below to help it do just that!

Clean the gutters

Don't forget to take stock of your gutters, giving them a good cleaning before the spring is in full swing. If left unattended, gutters can begin to overflow and wreak havoc on your foundation or the interior of your home via water damage.

Wash the windows

Not only do clean windows allow for more light to enter your Massachusetts home, but they give the impression that your home is tidy and well cared for. No matter what time of year you list your Lexington MA home, be sure to give your windows a thorough washing!

Remove yard debris

Especially before having listing photos taken of your home, you'll want to make sure your home's curb appeal is on point. Yard debris in the form of tree limbs, twigs, and dead landscaping can really bring down the property's image for buyers. Take the time to clean up your yard—as well as clear walkways—and ensure it gives off a welcoming aura to buyers.

Store your winter tools

Before you invite buyers into your Lexington MA home, it is essential to store your winter tools, including shovels and rakes. Not only do these items give the feeling of clutter to your outdoor space, but it suggests to the buyers that the rest of the property is not organized and maintained.

If you're thinking about selling your home in the Lexington MA area this spring, give me a call today! I am here to guide you through the entire process, starting with preparing your property for sale!
