Selling your home in Florida. As a Realtor in Jupiter Florida I have come to appreciate the intricacies that are required in preparing a home for sale and appealing to buyers. The process must be as easy and seamless for the seller as it is for the buyer. I have compiled a short list of “must haves” or, “must do’s” if you are preparing your luxury home for sale in Jupiter Florida. Take a moment to write them down. They could be the difference between getting your asking price or any offers at all! So, here we go.

• Touch up interior and exterior paint as needed.
• Be sure carpeting and flooring does not appear worn or dated.
• Make sure the front is clean and spruced up as curb appeal will create a favorable first impression.
• Trim bushes and plants as needed, and make sure the lawn is kept mowed and trimmed. 
• Keep the interior clean, de-cluttered and odor-free. Eliminate evidence of pets.
• Minimize personal items such as family photos. You want buyers to see themselves living in the home.
• Consider putting excess furniture and belongings in storage. Now’s the time to clean out the garage and basement and sell, give away or throw away items you don’t need anymore.
• Consider engaging a professional stager to give your home the right emotional appeal.
• Get your home photographed by a professional real estate photographer. 

Now I know what your thinking. Michael, these sound obvious. Trust me when I tell you more often than not it doesn’t matter how large or small a home, sellers who don’t follow these simple rules have a difficult time selling their home. They wonder why it’s taking so long or think their sales agent isn’t working hard enough to sell their home.
