Declutter & Depersonalize

Buyers want to imagine themselves in your home and not your life in it. That means:

• Removing personal photos
  
• Storing excess furniture
  
• Clearing off countertops and shelves
  

Think “model home.” Neutral, spacious, and clean.

Handle Minor Repairs & Maintenance

Small problems send big red flags to buyers. Patch nail holes, fix dripping faucets, and replace burnt-out light bulbs. Las Vegas buyers expect move-in-ready homes, especially those relocating from out of state.

Don’t forget to:

• Replace old air filters
  
• Recaulk tubs and sinks
  
• Touch up baseboards and trim
  

Boost Your Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is just as important in the desert as anywhere else. Make sure your home’s exterior makes a great first impression by:

• Trimming your landscaping
  
• Power-washing driveways and walkways
  
• Painting your front door for a fresh, welcoming look
  

In many Las Vegas neighborhoods, a clean, low-maintenance yard is a major selling point.

Stage for the Las Vegas Lifestyle

Homebuyers in Las Vegas are often looking for comfort, space, and style.

Here’s how to stage effectively:

• Use light, neutral colors to open up the space
  
• Set the dining table or create a cozy outdoor seating area
  
• Add minimal décor because buyers appreciate clean lines and airy spaces
  

If your home has a pool, patio, or rooftop deck, highlight it! Outdoor living is a major selling point.
