Are you planning to sell your property this spring? Here are some tips for a successful spring sale.
Price your home competitively — Research comparable properties in your area for what they listed and sold for and use these as a guide.
Be prepared to negotiate on price and terms — Think about the lowest price that would be acceptable to you.
Give your home’s exterior some love — Expect potential buyers to examine the exterior more closely in the warmer months. Ensure your patio furniture is clean and wash the windows inside and outside if possible. For balconies, planters of colourful flowers go a long way. If you have a yard, clear any debris from the winter, consider putting down some fresh mulch, and tend to landscaping.
Air out your home — Open the windows to let a cross-breeze through for fresh air. Also, consider placing some diffusers throughout your home for a pleasant scent.
Stage seasonally — For example, since it’s springtime, setting out a vase of fresh tulips would be in tune with the season. Work with a professional stager.
The entryway — This is your first opportunity to make a statement. Choose items that creates a lasting impression, such as a brand-new doormat, a nice framed mirror, a console and a matching bench.
Give your home a good spring clean — Depending on your region, winter can create a lot of extra dust from continuous heating. Consider hiring professional deep cleaners.
Tend to any repairs — While this may seem obvious, depending on your region, winter can be rough on a home, so scan your home to see if you need to do any minor repairs or improvements.
Declutter—Donate or sell anything that doesn’t have a practical or aesthetic purpose for a well-presented home.
Even if you aren’t preparing for a spring sale, many of these tips can be used to stay on top of home maintenance and keep your home humming into spring.

When priming your home for sale there are some definite missteps you can make if you just “wing it,” which can affect the sale of your home. So, to prevent this from happening, read on for staging mistakes to avoid.
Hodge-podge of styles — Maintain a cohesive style throughout your home to create a harmonious “look and feel.”
Personal and bold — Put away your personal photos and mementos and keep your home décor neutral. Buyers want to imagine themselves living in the home, so those personal items can be distracting.
Simple repairs or updates neglected — Repaint dull or chipped paint and update outdated light fixtures or décor.
Unprofessional photos — Professionally taken photos are well worth the investment as they will capture the attention of buyers quicker than poorly taken or poor quality photos.
Layout and size of furniture — If you have a massive sectional occupying most of your living room, it’s going to make the room appear much smaller. If you have room, keep some space between the furniture and the walls to create an illusion of spaciousness.
Clutter — Perhaps obvious, but those various coloured shampoo bottles in the bathtub and small appliances on the counter create an immediate eyesore for prospective buyers. Declutter and find a home to hide those unsightly items.
Too little or too much lighting — Strike the right balance using soft, layered lighting throughout your home.
Grungy linens— It doesn’t have to cost much to refresh your bed linens and towels that will be on display, and it's worth the difference it makes.
Unpleasant scents — We become accustomed to the familiar smell of our home over time, but even if you think your home smells pleasant, have a friend come over to do the “smell test” and get an outside opinion.
Hiring a reputable professional staging company with plenty of good reviews will help you avoid these staging mistakes, so you stand your best chance of a speedy and successful sale.
