5 Things Every Seller Should Do This Spring to Maximize Their Sale

5 Things Every Seller Should Do This Spring to Maximize Their Sale

Spring is prime time for home sales in Salem. But even in a seller’s market, you still need to prep, price, and position your home right if you want top dollar. Here’s what we’re recommending to clients this spring:

1. Start with Curb Appeal

It’s cliché for a reason. Buyers form first impressions in seconds.
➡️ Fresh mulch, clean walkways, flowers in bloom, and a power-washed exterior can go a long way.

2. Stage Like a Pro

You don’t have to hire someone — just think clean, open, and neutral.
➡️ Declutter. Remove personal photos. Add light throw blankets, fresh towels, and greenery.

Bonus: staged homes often sell faster and for more money.

3. Price Strategically, Not Emotionally

The market is strong, but overpricing can still backfire.
➡️ Look at comparable sales in your neighborhood and work with a local expert (like us) to price it right from the start.

4. Get Professional Photos

Smartphones are fine for selfies — not for selling homes.
➡️ High-quality photos (and video or drone if possible) help you stand out online, which is where buyers start.

5. Have a Game Plan for Day 1

The first weekend is when the most serious buyers come through.
➡️ Make sure your home is ready for showings, lights on, blinds open, and everything sparkling.
