Prepare Your Home for the Spring Market

While it’s still cold outside, prep the inside of your home for the market.

If you’re like me, you’re already dreaming of springtime. If you’re considering selling, it’s time to prepare for the spring market. We currently have a strong seller’s market; interest rates are still low, and inventory is still historically low. Now is a great time to sell your home.

While we’re still feeling winter’s chill, you can focus on the inside of your home by preparing it in the following ways:

1. Clean and declutter. This is one of the most common pieces of advice real estate agents give their clients. Focus on one room at a time, and think like a buyer as you clean and declutter. Pack away extra knick-knacks, personal items like photos, and anything else that may collect dust or distract a potential buyer.

2. Clean windows, sills, blinds, and drapery. Everyone loves a bright and welcoming home, so focus on letting in as much natural light as possible. Light is money.

3. Add a fresh coat of paint. Never underestimate the power of fresh paint. Choose neutral colors and freshen up common areas that need attention, such as baseboards, stairwells, and bathrooms.

Once the weather warms up, you can boost your curb appeal by taking on small projects outside like weeding flower beds, replacing bulbs on exterior lighting, and sprucing up your porch. We love providing our friends, family, and neighbors with excellent advice and trustworthy resources. Please call us at 717-695-3177 or email info@joydaniels.com to ask any questions you have and request a free copy of our seller’s guide. We look forward to helping you.

testimonials from happy clients

Jessica - "Both my husband and I are very happy with the results. We actually sold 2 homes through the Joy Daniels Real Estate Group and both of them went off without a hitch! We had some issues with the well at our home and when we were on vacation it needed to be run for an extended time over and few days and Joy made sure that it was taken care of by the time we got back so we were ready to go for settlement."

Gary - "We’ve worked with Joy for several years now. She aided us in buying the current house we’re living in and also the house that we just sold. Joy and her whole team just have their act together. I was in the business for myself and I know how hard it is to get a team to click and she just seems to be able to do that."

Mitzi - "They helped me sell my home even through some of the wrinkles that my ex-husband caused. They had peak traffic through my house and they did a very good job with the marketing aspect. I just always felt comfortable with her. They really helped me through the closing and even after the sale when I had breast cancer and couldn’t mow my grass, my Realtor Nick came out a couple times to help me with that which was above and beyond! It was just a really good experience and I recommend Joy all the time!"

Ed - "When we were looking for a real estate agent, we wanted to work with someone who was willing to work around our schedule. Joy and her team quickly exceeded our expectations in helping us find a home. They were there for us, they walked us through many homes, and were even chipper and brought us coffee when we’d go look at homes at an unholy hour on a Saturday morning. I never had to wait longer than 30 minutes for them to return a phone call and they were also involved in the community, which shows a commitment to the community at large. Joy has sold over 3 homes for my family and when she sells my current home in the spring, we look forward to working with the best team in Harrisburg and Central Pennsylvania! "

Jennifer - "Being that she’s the president of the company, we felt honored that Joy wanted to work with us. Twelve days after the house went on the market, we got an offer! I think the communication was great. Everyone that we talked to was professional and happy. We could tell they all love their jobs! It was just an all-around positive experience."

Shelby - "They were absolutely amazing. There was never a period of time that went by that we didn’t have some sort of update from Joy or her assistant Heidi. They were readily available, and basically in constant contact with us!"

Leslie - "We worked with one of her agents named George. He was very helpful. We were looking for a new home rather than an existing home sale. He was helpful with the valuation of the lot, the features that would be useful for resale purposes as we were planning the home, and neighborhoods with the best resale values. We appreciated his insights and he worked with us a little bit in the process during our initial walkthrough when the builder has a different inspection times, and he offered insights during those times as well. It was good to have him. He had been involved with the builder before and was a new home specialist. On one occasion, he traveled with me from Harrisburg to Lancaster. He went with me to the design center and was very helpful with advice concerning buyer interest, home trends, and other things we should be thinking about when making decisions about features we should put in the house."

Linda - "It was perfect, from day one until we sold the house, our agent was excellent. Everything he told us, he said we would sell our house within two or three days and we did. Everything just went perfectly. We got the amount we wanted for our house, and we didn't have any problems at all. Any questions we had, we contacted our agent and it was just perfect. No matter what paperwork, anything like that. If we had any questions about anything. Now we had a homeowner's association, and we had to get a letter from them saying we were moving out. Our agent did all that for us. We didn't have to do that. He was really right on the ball, doing everything we needed to have done. It was just perfect. I would recommend Joy Daniels to anybody. In fact, I've already done that with a couple people that I've talked to. We've had other real estate companies, but this one was just a ten. That's all I can say, it was perfect."
