Spring is finally here! With warmer weather right around the corner, now is the perfect time to declutter, organize, and repair the spaces in your home that may have been neglected this winter. Whether you’re in need of Spring cleaning tips or you’re thinking about listing your home for sale this season, here are some helpful hacks for getting your home in its best shape and market-ready.
Declutter & Organize
Do you have items lying around the house that you no longer use? Now is the perfect time to throw away, donate, or sell any unwanted or gently used goods. It’s best to start room by room, making piles of the things that you’d like to get rid of. Items that are unsalvagable can be
tossed.
When it comes to selling your home, it’s important for buyers to be able to envision themselves living in the residence. This can be hard to do when rooms and walls are crowded with photos, memorabilia, or miscellaneous pieces. Less is more, meaning that a clean and organized home will strongly benefit the sale.
Make Necessary Home Repairs
Have you been putting off making repairs around your house? Before listing your home for sale, be sure to put your best foot forward and make all necessary improvements that you’ve been postponing. This can range from painting nicked walls, fixing leaky faucets, changing out old lightbulbs, and even having carpets professionally cleaned.

Spruce Up Your Curb Appeal
The first element that visitors and potential buyers notice when approaching your home is the property’s exterior. Leave a lasting impression by sprucing up your curb appeal. Aside from having the lawn regularly maintained, you can add pops of color with flowers and plantings. If you don’t have a front yard, consider adding planters or window boxes. While sprucing up your home’s exterior, be sure to have weeds pulled, mulch replaced, leaves raked, and gutters cleared.
Another way to add a pop of color to the outside of your home is to paint the front door. To avoid choosing a color that will clash with the other colors of your home’s exterior, first select and swatch colors that accentuate and enhance the space. Then, you can pick the option that looks best.
