☀️ How to Prepare Your Home to Sell in the Summer Heat ☀️
Selling your home in the summer? 🏡 Here’s how to help it shine — even when the temps soar:
🌿 Curb Appeal is Key
Keep the lawn green, plants watered, and landscaping tidy. A well-maintained yard makes a great first impression!
❄️ Keep it Cool Inside
Make sure the A/C is working well. Set a comfortable temperature before showings so buyers walk into a refreshing space.
🧼 Fresh & Clean Vibes
Declutter, deep clean, and add light summer scents (think fresh linen or citrus). Avoid heavy fragrances.
💡 Let the Light In
Open blinds and curtains to maximize natural light, but close them during the hottest part of the day to keep rooms cool.
🚰 Check Outdoor Spaces
Clean patios, decks, and pools. Stage outdoor seating areas to help buyers envision summer entertaining.
🚫 Prevent Summer Smells
Take out the trash, keep pet areas clean, and run the dishwasher before showings. Heat can amplify odors!
💧 Highlight Energy Efficiency
If your home has energy-saving features (like newer windows, insulation, or smart thermostats), make sure they’re noted!
