By Mark Spain Real Estate

Spring is right around the corner, and it’s time to start thinking about your spring cleaning habits before selling your home. Whether spring cleaning fills you with excitement or dread, it can be essential for those selling a home during this time to take a closer look at their seasonal cleaning habits. However, you may have questions when optimizing your spring cleaning schedule or habits for the home selling process.

What was once just a seasonal task has now become an essential part of your home selling process. The agents at Mark Spain Real Estate are here to help you maximize the chances of selling your home. And to sell your home, sometimes you must start by examining your cleaning habits. 

Best Spring Cleaning Tips for Selling Your Home

Get Organized

Spring Cleaning can be a stressful time of year when it rolls around, but we want to alleviate this stress for you as a seller. So, we have made a handy to-do list to get organized. The way you set up your list is up to you. Here are some ideas for organizing your list:

• From easiest task to most extensive
• Areas of the home 
• Days cleaning will take place
• Tasks you can do right away versus the ones that need more time/specific tools
• Things you can do alone versus those you need all hands on deck for

Don’t Forget the Walls and Windows

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then your windows are the soul of your home. Windows and walls need just as much attention as surfaces and floors. Scrubbing down and dusting off windows can ensure your home feels warm and inviting.

Additionally, clean walls will certainly make a home look put together. Target any scuff marks, chips, and pesky crayon residue if you have children in the home. These small changes can make the world of difference when looking to sell your home!

Give the Exteriors Some TLC

When it comes to listing and selling your home, first impressions matter. Don’t forget to give your exteriors some proper attention during your spring cleaning. You can think big by pressure washing exteriors with a detergent, or try smaller changes like planting fresh flowers by your porch.

Also, don’t forget to pay attention to the roof. From removing buildup and mold to cleaning the gutters, ensuring your roof is in good shape can attract buyers to your home. 

Say Goodbye to Things You Won’t Take With You

Spring cleaning is a great way to get a head start on the next chapter of your life. While removing clutter and going through forgotten boxes in the attic is a great way to freshen up your home, you should take this time to think of what you want to take with you once you sell your home.
