Preparation is Key When Selling Your Calgary Home!Calgary Home Selling Tips

We all have some level of planning involved in our lives. Whether that be coordinating pick-up and drop-off for the kids, tickets for vacation next summer, or perhaps a movie on the weekend - they all involve planning!

A part of planning for that next task in your life is preparation, especially when it comes to selling your home successfully! That means not only getting the most value out of the sale financially, but also making the move when it is convenient and affordable for you and your family (if applicable).

When you start thinking about making a move, it's important you plan things thoroughly and pay attention to all the details otherwise you may end up not as happy with your home sale as you should!

Over the years we've compiled several helpful blogs to help you prepare for selling your property in Calgary. Here's some of our best ones:

#1 - Hire a REALTOR®, it will save you time and hassle!Finding the Right Calgary Realtor

It is never too early to invite your REALTOR® over to help you with pre-sale ideas to maximize value.

Don't settle for anything less than a professional real estate agent and REALTOR® to help you with selling your property!

#2 - Check your finances once, twice, and a third time!

Get a firm handle on your finances as soon as possible before selling! Some questions you'll want to answer:

What would your mortgage payout penalty be (if any)? How much will it cost to move? Think about associated costs!

#3 - What can you do to help improve resale value?Calgary Home Selling Tips

Do a thorough investigation of your home's interior and exterior and make a list of touch-ups you can do. Painting, landscaping, de-cluttering and other small renovations can more than pay for themselves.

Always ask your REALTOR® if you aren't sure if a renovation will be worthwhile financially.

#4 - Getting the interior of your home show-ready

Staging is critical and is proven to help homeowners get more money out of their homes.

There's also a number of considerations you'll want to make such as removing all personal items and documents from drawers and living spaces.

#5 - Getting the exterior of your home show-readyhome sellers tips calgary open house home

Curbside appeal is the strongest first impression a seller can make on a potential buyer, so be sure that the exterior of your home is pristine before showings.

There are a number of things you can do to improve the look of your home's exterior.
