Spring is one of the best times of the year to sell a home. Especially at the time of writing this blog post, inventory is SO LOW, but the number of buyers in the market right now is not!

If you’re planning to sell your home this spring, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you maximize your sale price and attract the right buyers.
Enhance Curb Appeal
First impressions matter, and spring offers the perfect backdrop for making your home look inviting.
Freshen up landscaping with trimmed bushes, fresh mulch, and colorful flowers.
