If you’re thinking about selling your home anytime in the near future, here are a few ways you can achieve a quicker and more profitable sale:

1. Clean the property thoroughly. When buyers come into your home, they want to see it sparkling clean. That’s going to give them the best first impression possible.

2. Investigate any potential defects with a pre-listing inspection. Any major defects in your home should be found and addressed prior to putting it on the market. Minor defects should be fixed as well, or at the very least, disclosed.

3. Establish the lead paint status of the home. If your home was built before 1978, it will need to meet the compliance laws about lead-based paint that were established by the state of Massachusetts. They are some of the strictest in the nation.
