If you’re thinking of selling your home this fall, chances are you’re wondering what you can do to make your property stand out and look its best. After all, there are a few special considerations you’ll need to keep in mind when selling at this time of year. Thankfully, by following just seven key tips, your home will be sure to make a great impression on potential buyers:

1. Clean up your yard. Fall leaves are beautiful when they’re on the trees, but they can make a yard look cluttered and messy once they hit the ground. Make sure to rake as often as needed while your home is on the market, paying special attention to walkways, in particular. Curb appeal is massively important.

2. Change out summer flowers for autumn ones. Pansies and mums make a great addition to any yard in the fall.

3. Check out your heating and air systems. Not only will this keep them functioning more efficiently, therefore reducing your energy bills while your home is on the market, but it will put buyers at ease to know your home systems are in great shape.

4. Clean your fireplace. Buyers love fireplaces, but if yours looks worse for wear then it probably won’t elicit quite the glowing response you would like. So, like every other part of your home, you should thoroughly clean your fireplace before buyers step inside.

5. Leave out fall-themed treats. Cozy touches can really make your house feel like a home. The smell of freshly baked goods will do wonders in and of itself, and allowing potential buyers to take a tasty treat from their visit will only sweeten the deal.

6. Keep fall decorations tasteful. Seasonal touches are great, but don’t go overboard. Not everyone will enjoy walking through a listing that looks more like a craft fair than a home.

7. Offer a thank-you card with candy. Showing buyers that you appreciate them will help your home sell quickly.
