Getting Ready for the St. Louis Real Estate Spring Market?
7 Ways to De-Clutter Your Home by Heather Lanoue
Thinking about putting your home on the market this spring? It’s never too early to start planning the sale of your St. Louis home. And there is a lot to think about. Perhaps one of the most crucial pieces to finding that perfect buyer is staging your home properly. And that means…..de-cluttering. Having a lot of clutter lying around the house tends to tell prospective buyers that “this house is your place, not theirs”…..never a good message to send. Removing clutter will not only make your home appear clean, well maintained, and move-in ready, but will also give you the added benefit of helping you relax after a stressful day of work. Here are seven tips on how to de-clutter your home.

St. Louis Real Estate – Occupied or Vacant?
Filed under: For Sellers
Do you plan on living in your home while it is on the market?
Occupying your home while it is on the market is sometimes necessary and can be stressful. Make sure that if you will be living in the house that it is always kept tidy. You never know when someone will want to take a peek inside. And remember, first impressions are everything, so you may want to put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher before you leave for work in the morning too. Another consideration is how flexible you can be with showing times. Are you willing to accommodate someone else’s schedule? The perfect buyer may ask for a showing right when you sit down for dinner. Being flexible with showing appointments will make it much easier for potential buyers to see the home and make an offer.
Now is the time to get ready for the spring market.

How much time do I have to sell my house?
Timing can be everything with real estate. You need to know upfront how much time you have to sell your house. Are you strapped for time and need to sell it fast? If so, you’ll need to develop a strategy with your Realtor for a quick sale. If you can leave the house on the market until you receive the perfect offer, then you will need an all-together different strategy for catching that perfect buyer.

Starting the process with a clear goal in mind will help eliminate a lot of the unnecessary confusion. You should ask yourself what you want to accomplish with the sale of your home.
