You’ve decided to list your Northern Colorado home for sale — congratulations! Now is a great time to be a seller in such a desirable place to live. From the moment you decided you were going to sell your family home, the list of things to do began growing and you undoubtedly looked around your house, noticing the flaws and messes and your anxiety is mounting. Have no fear, the housekeepers at Clean Bees Homekeepers offer home sale cleaning and move-out cleans to help lighten the load and make it easier to sell your Fort Collins area house. Join us in today’s post as we make the case for hiring a professional cleaning company before listing your NoCo home for sale.
A Picture Says a Thousand Words (and, lasts forever!)
Before you can list your home for sale, you’ll need to get pictures taken to accompany the MLS listing and to be used in print and online marketing campaigns. For many Front Range home buyers, it is the images online that will prompt a phone call to their realtor. As we’ve all learned from social media, images are everything, and they last forever! If you’ve ever looked up an address online, you’ll find the last photos that were used to sell the home most recently. You want to ensure the images your realtor uses to list your home look good and are inviting to prospective buyers. Get the edge you need by opening the blinds to let the sunshine in after a deep home sale clean from Clean Bees Homekeeping.
You’ll Get Fewer Concession Requests
When selling your home, you want to get top dollar with the least negotiations and quickest closing possible. Make things easier for yourself with a thorough cleaning that makes potential buyers have more confidence in how you’ve cared for the home and request fewer concessions. Seller concessions are the closing costs that the seller is responsible for paying and many buyers will negotiate for painting or carpet replacement that could be avoided if these areas were clean. Invest the effort upfront to reduce negotiations under contract.
You’ll Get Offers Quicker
Think back to when you purchased your home — what was it that sold you? People have things that they look for and things they can look past, knowing they can fix them or modify them to what they want. But, if you’ve ever walked into a clean home that features those options you’re looking for, you were likely chomping at the bit to leave an offer on your way out the door. It’s true, people are attracted to and more apt to get excited about homes that are clean and feel comfortable. Show potential buyers the true potential of your home for sale by not making them look past the build-up of dust on the vents and blinds with a home sale clean from Clean Bees Homekeepers in Fort Collins.
You’ll Have an Easier Time Sprucing Up For Showings
As the home selling process moves forward from photos to listing to showings, you may begin to feel a little overwhelmed with keeping your busy home in show condition. With an initial home sale clean, you’ll be able to quickly pick up toys and daily use items before showings without worrying about scrubbing or what the potential buyers may see. If your house sits on the market for a while, you may benefit from a one-time cleaning a few weeks after the initial home sale cleaning.
You Don’t Have The Time
The truth is, selling your home adds so many tasks to your to-do list in addition to living your day-to-day life that you simply don’t have the time to clean your house as well as it should be. What is your time worth? If it’s worth more than the cost of hiring a professional cleaning service, then delegate the cleaning and free up some of your time for more important tasks.
At Clean Bees Homekeeping, we offer a wide range of cleaning services to the homeowners in Fort Collins and the surrounding Front Range area. Whether you are looking for help keeping up on routine chores, you need a complete deep cleaning, or you have already sold your home and need a move-out clean, we are here to help!
