Considering selling your Newport Beach home? If you are then there are some things you need to take into consideration when preparing your Newport Beach home to sell.
Keep in mind that first impressions are everything. Your house has exactly ONE time to make a good first impression. With that in mind, here are a few suggestions for you to prepare your home to sell.
- Maintain landscaping and keep it neat and orderly.
- Add fresh annuals to flower beds in front of your home and back yard as well. If you live in a condo, then add some fresh flower pots to add local color to the front yard and back patio.
- Touch up exterior paint on the home, and paint trim. Remember that if a buyer sees peeling paint, they may think that the home has deferred maintenance.
- Paint interior of home if needed. If baseboards and crown molding need painting, then re-paint it. Or if they need to be cleaned, then clean them because buyers do look.

- Organize closets and drawers.

- Keep kitchen organized and clean. Make sure dishes are put in dishwasher, because it is best to be organized and prepared for showings.
- Fresh flowers on the dining room table are a nice addition.
- Keep bathrooms neat and clean, and add new towels if needed.
- Keep backyard landscaped and if you have pets, be sure to clean up after your pets.
