With spring approaching in Bakersfield it's time to start thinking about how to prep your house for sale in a crowded market. Obviously the best thing you can do to sell your home is have it priced correctly, but today I am talking about curb appeal. 

People Do Judge a Book by Its Cover
When someone pulls into your neighborhood to look at a home they begin judging before they even walk in the door. Your home not only needs to look great on the inside, but also from the outside. Don't forget that your home's exterior is what gets buyers in the door!
  1. Make the yard as clean and neutral as possible, but add color too. Fix your sprinkler system, trim your grass and hedges, and plant flowers (even if you don't want to). Remove any cars from the driveway if possible.
  2. Add Lighting Everywhere: Turn on your porch lights and let your home shine! If people cannot see your property, they will likely not buy it.
  3. Make sure your home smells nice: Although it's not a pleasant topic, your home should smell as neutral as possible. Refrain from cooking with odorous ingredients like curry or cabbage. If you're a smoker, do not smoke in your home. Also, remove any pet odors or stains. You don't want your buyers to smell anything, not even pleasant odors.
  4. De-personalize your Home: Your home should not be imparting your values or beliefs on to your buyers, so be sure to remove photos, posters, or artwork. Let someone imagine how they would live in this home. Plus, if you've already decided to move, it's best to get the clutter out of the home anyway.
The key with prepping your home for sale is to neutralize it as much as possible. Don't project your lifestyle onto your buyers. 
These are just a few things that I've thought of, but contact me if you need any help prepping your home for sale in Bakersfield. You can reach me at (661) 617-4434 or email me at DBANDUCCI@BAKERSFIELDMAGIC.COM
