Getting Your House Ready to Sell in Southern Oregon

* 1. Boost Your Curb Appeal
First impressions matter, especially in charming neighborhoods like Jacksonville and historic Medford.
• Keep your lawn trimmed and add fresh mulch to flower beds.
• Paint or clean your front door — small upgrades can create big impact.
• Power wash the driveway and walkways for a clean, cared-for look.
* 2. Declutter and Depersonalize
Buyers need to picture themselves living there.
• Pack away family photos and keepsakes.
• Remove extra furniture to make rooms look open and spacious.
• Organize closets and pantries — buyers *will* peek inside!
* 3. Make Simple Repairs
You don’t have to remodel to make a great impression — small fixes go a long way.
• Replace outdated fixtures or knobs.
• Repair leaky faucets, squeaky doors, and chipped paint.
• Check that lights, outlets, and windows all work properly.

* 4. Deep Clean from Top to Bottom
A spotless home tells buyers it’s been well maintained.
• Clean windows to let in natural Southern Oregon sunlight.
• Dust fans, blinds, and baseboards.
• Consider hiring a professional cleaner before showings or photography.
* 5. Stage to Highlight Your Home’s Best Features
Staging can make a huge difference in how quickly your home sells.
• Arrange furniture to create an inviting flow.
• Use neutral tones, fresh linens, and subtle décor.
• Add a pop of color with flowers or fresh greenery.
