Getting ready to list? Here's some Spring Cleaning Tips

Getting Your Home Ready for Spring Listing
Spring is the perfect time to put your home on the market. The weather is mild, the days are getting longer, and buyers are eager to find their dream home. However, before you list your property, it's important to prepare it for the spring season. This includes considering the final frost dates and preparing for the potential for rainy weather. Here are some tips for getting your home ready for spring listing.
Final Frost Dates: The final frost date is the last day that you can expect the temperature to drop below freezing. This date can vary depending on where you live, but it is typically in late April or early May. But with how warm it's been lately, it might be earlier! Before the final frost date, it is important to remove any tender plants from your yard and cover them with frost protection cloth or bring them indoors. You should also take steps to protect any pipes that may freeze, such as wrapping them with insulation or letting them drip slowly.
Rainy Weather: Spring is known for its rain, and it can be a challenge to keep your home looking its best during this time of year. To prepare for rainy weather, make sure your gutters are clear of debris and in good working order. If you're having an open house or potential buyers visit, you might recommend taking their shoes off, or even having towels nearby. We want to protect your rugs and floors!
Landscaping: Spring is the perfect time to spruce up your yard and garden. Planting flowers, trimming bushes, and adding mulch are just a few of the ways you can improve your outdoor space. Consider adding a pop of color to your yard with bright flowers and plants, and make sure your lawn is mowed and free of any dead spots. Curb appeal is the first look people will have of your home, so having it well kept and colorful will hopefully attract more buyers! 
Cleaning: Before you list your home, it's important to give it a deep clean. This includes cleaning windows, dusting, and vacuuming. You could also consider hiring a professional cleaning service to give your home a thorough cleaning. A clean home will show better and make a great impression on potential buyers.
