5 things to do this summer to prepare your house to sell in Seattle

Let’s dive into what you can do now to get your house in top shape to sell in Seattle.

One – Pure everything you don’t take to the new house

If you don’t like it, use it or need it – get rid of it. Summer is the perfect time to have a garage sale and to let someone else pay you for your things!

The best strategy is to make three piles while you go through cupboards, rooms, etc.

1. Give away
2. Throw away
3. Donate

We have worked with a company that helps older people to leave their parental home. If you need a recommendation, we can help.

Two – tackle those large country houses projects

Summer is the only real -time that you can do specific projects in Seattle. The long and dry summer days finally give us the space we need to paint and major repairs on the outside of the house.

What is a big house for open air?

• Replace the roofs
• Paint the outside of the house
• Replace the cladding of the house
• Install new exterior doors
• Update or install a patio

Leave it for each other while the sun is shining and it is dry again.

Three – Give your garden some love!

Have you ignored your garden lately? Good. We have that too. In June we cleaned up a large clearance of the garden and patio in preparation for our cousin’s graduation party. We have added new plants to the pots, cleaned up old plants and strung summer lights.

Summer is the perfect time to add things to your garden to ensure that there are plants that look great.

Pro-Tip: Just save pruning for late fall or in the winter.

Need for help? We have a great gardener who can consult you about your garden.

Vier – Was those slimy green gutters and patios to prepare your house to sell in Seattle

Watch you all, if you live cold and wet somewhere, you know that gutters and patios will be super coarse during the wet season. Time to grab a cheap power washing machine and to work on cleaning up the smun so that they will be sparkling for that autumn list.

Pro-Tip: Don’t wash your roof !!! It will erode the life of the roof. But you can use a broom to wipe away moss and other rubble.
