Whether the weather is cooperating or not, Spring is here and with that season of renewal comes thoughts of making a move in Western MA or beyond.

It can take several weeks or more to prep your Western MA home for sale, so you need to get a jump on the checklist if you are going to be ready to hit the market this Spring.

We are actually experiencing a shortage of homes for sale in Western MA so if you are considering making a move, you should get in touch with me right away to get the ball rolling!  Getting on the market ahead of the crowd means less competition for you!

According to Laura Gaskill on Houzz your order of operations is this:

First steps:

1. Interview and choose a real estate agent.
2. Assess your property — not just the value but also what could be done to the interior or exterior to appeal to more buyers.
3. Decide what work you are going to do yourself and what you would like a pro to do.
4. Hire a home stager. Your stager will have important input on what repairs and changes will be most worth your time and money, and which ones to skip.
5. Hire additional pros as needed, starting with a landscaper. Remember, the landscape needs time to fill in.

Your first step in getting your Western MA home ready to sell should be to get in touch with me.  I will make a no obligation visit to your home to discuss what changes and improvements can be made to get the most out of your sale.  Often these are simple and not very expensive improvements, but they can take some time, so we should meet before you think you are going to go on the market.
