If you’ve been thinking of selling your Corpus Christi home, you’ll want to make sure you do all you can to maximize your final sale price. Today we are excited to share five different things you can do to help your home sell this spring. These tips can dramatically increase the perceived value of your home, which will also push the final sale price up. Here they are:

1.  Declutter or remove unused items around your home

This will increase your home’s value while at the same time making it more appealing to buyers.

2. Upgrades and updates

Take some time to walk around your home like a buyer would. Notice things like countertops, lighting and plumbing fixtures, and carpets. Replacing one or all of these items could dramatically increase your perceived value.

3. Painting touch-ups

It’s important to walk around your home and touch up areas like baseboards or walls. A coat of paint can really go a long way and give the home a nice, fresh feel.

4. Deteriorated wood

Note the areas that should be replaced, such as garage and door frames, and window areas.

5. Curb appeal

Here’s another nugget. This is absolutely important when your home goes on the market. Most buyers start their search online. Cut your grass, trim your trees, plant some fresh plants around the front door area. These things can definitely increase your showings as well as your perceived value.



In the end, you’re trading nickels and dimes for dollars. Investing in this process can dramatically increase your net proceeds. Think about what the buyer is going to see.
