Spring is here, and with it comes a busy real estate market here in Indianapolis. Before you go to sell your property, you're probably going to need to spruce it up a little bit. Here is a list of some things you can do to make your home stand out.

1. Curb appeal: This is often underestimated in the age of the Internet, but the outside of your home needs to look clean and inviting. Power wash the sides of your home, clean your windows, and spruce up your trees and bushes.
2. Declutter: Buyers don't like to see disorganized homes, so if you have a lot of stuff lying around, find places to put it, and possibly even rent out a storage space for all of your belongings. Get rid of personal collections and try to imitate the look of a new home.
3. New Paint and Carpet: These are small repairs that can make a big difference, and we have vendors that can help you if your carpet or paint needs some touch-up work done. Usually new paint and new carpet have huge returns when you go to sell.
4. Staging: You can get top dollar when you stage your home. This means bringing in our professional stager, who will come in and shift some things around to make your home look larger and more inviting.

If you have any questions about these selling tips, or if you have any questions regarding real estate in Indianapolis, please don't hesitate to call us. We're always here to help!
