RI Living shares tips for moving

-Enhance curb appeal Do some end of season clean-up of your yard Make sure entry ways are clean, uncluttered and appealing. Fresh paint goes a long way, (inside or out) so if your front door is peeling or faded, etc., give it a coat of paint -Staging Declutter Clean out closets Find a secure or hidden place to put valuables and prescriptions Clear off counters of all but a few things. Get rid of pet smells – wash slipcovers, washable floor coverings, etc. (and never leave your pet home during showings.) -Prepare for the buyer home inspection – It’s a good idea to get your own home inspection prior to selling to determine what issues could cause problems. The more you can take care of ahead of the game, the better of you will be. On the buying side – The supply of homes for sale is beginning to grow so you will have more options to choose from. -Double check your credit history. Make sure there are no issues that need to be addressed. -Narrow down the area you’re interested in and register on RILiving.com. You can input what you’re looking for and get emails when a new home comes on the market or the status of an existing listing changes.
