Professional Window and Carpet Cleaning Can Boost Your Home’s Market Appeal When You’re Ready to Sell.

/in /by

Selling a home in Maricopa County, Arizona right now can be quite challenging, considering that the housing sales market is somewhat slow. Why? That is because there are few buyers relative to the supply of available homes and mortgage rates are at historical highs.

So, if you are thinking about selling your Valley area home, there are a few budget-friendly things you can do that can make your home more appealing to potential buyers.

Two Things you can do to improve your Home’s Market Appeal

Below we share two things that all sellers can easily do to improve their home’s market appeal to potential home buyers.

Professionally Clean Your Windows

Nothing enhances your home’s beauty like sparking, clean windows. To find out the specific benefits of professional window cleaning, please read on.

Benefits of Clean, Streak-Free Windows

Getting your windows professionally cleaned is not only easy on the budget, but it can make a noticeable improvement to your home’s overall appearance. And this in turn, can set the stage for a good first impression with potential home buyers.

Enhances Natural Light

Crystal clear windows allow more natural light into your home, establishing an atmosphere of warmth and openness. And bright, well-lit homes are very appealing to most home buyers.

Shows Your Home is Well Maintained

Clean, gleaming windows tell potential home buyers that you take great care of your home. What’s not to like about that?

Showcases Great Views to the Outdoors

When your home’s windows are sparkling clean, they can help to draw more attention to views of any natural beauty surrounding your property.

Enhances Your Home’s Perceived Market Value

Let’s face it, a very clean, well-maintained home is generally believed by many home buyers, to have a higher market value than one that is not. That is why a small investment in professional window cleaning can generate outstanding returns in terms of a potentially higher sale price.

Deep Clean Your Carpets

A thorough cleaning of your entire home is perhaps one of the best small investments you can make in preparation for putting it up for sale.

That is why it is a great idea to hire a local professional, to deep clean your carpets. Nothing compares to a home that not only has sparking, crystal clear windows, but clean, fresh scented carpeting as well!

Why schedule regular window cleanings for your home?

There are many reasons why you should have your home’s windows cleaned on a regular basis. If you are like the vast majority of homeowners in the Valley of the Sun, your decision comes down to addressing one of four motivations.

  • The most common reason homeowners get their windows cleaned is that they have out of town guests coming to visit and they want them to enjoy the beautiful desert vistas surrounding their home.
  • A second reason that homeowners clean their windows is that they are listing their home for sale on the MLS. Their realtor probably had placed it on the “To Do” list right along with eliminate clutter and freshen up the paint. History has shown that fresh cleaned windows help houses sell faster and at a higher price.
  • A third reason that homeowners clean their windows is in preparation to celebrate important family holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
  • A fourth reason that homeowners clean their windows is that it is part of their annual spring cleaning project. Some owners prefer to clean their windows in September as soon as the summer monsoons are over.

As it turns out, there is another VERY important reason to keep a home’s window clean.

At the microscopic level, glass is actually a very porous material that exhibits “honeycomb” like patterns on the surface. Left uncleaned for extended periods of time, the pores in the honeycomb surface attract organic and inorganic contaminants which react chemically with the glass firmly bonding to its surface. Constant radiant energy from the sun and the high ambient temperatures found in our arid desert climate accelerate this natural corrosion process.

What does damaged glass look like?

New glass is bright and sparkling, easy to see through and easy to clean and keep clean. If not regularly cleaned, glass easily becomes stained and discolored, difficult to see through, difficult to clean and keep clean. The surface of the glass also possesses hydrophilic properties and is over time subjected to a corrosion process that will make the surface rougher and therefore it’s damage greater, in some cases irreversibly.

Want your windows and doors to look great and last a long time?

No problem! Just keep your interior and exterior glass clean. Professionally clean your exterior glass whenever dirt, organic residue, and/or hard water staining appears-typically every 6 to 12 months. Professionally clean interior glass at least once every 12 months.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the benefits of regularly scheduled window cleanings at your home, call ClearPro, the Scottsdale window cleaning experts at 480-459-5644. We will be glad to be of assistance.

Here’s why you should have us clean your home prior to listing

Are you planning on listing your property this summer? If so, you’ll want to maximize its value—and your return on investment (ROI). One of the best ways to do that is by ensuring your home looks great and really makes a positive first impression on prospective buyers. In this blog post, we’ll outline just a few of the ways that our thorough, professional cleaning services can bring out the best in your home ahead of listing.

At ClearPro Window & Carpet cleaning, we’re your home cleaning experts in Scottsdale and North Phoenix. For all your carpet, tile, window, and window screen cleaning needs, call us to schedule an appointment.

Give your home’s curb appeal a boost

For decades, realtors have used the phrase “curb appeal” to describe the phenomenon where prospective buyers do, in fact, judge a book by its cover. What your property looks like from that initial drive up has a significant, subliminal impact on what the prospective buyer thinks it’s worth. Essentially, you want buyers to think, “Wow, this home is a great deal at this price” before they even get to the front door. Curb appeal has that power.

Have one of our professionals clean your home prior to listing, and you'll get a boost to your home's curb appeal.

So, how do you best go about maximizing your home’s curb appeal? For one, you should make sure all your front yard landscaping is freshly cut and looks great. If your home’s exterior paint is fading or the stucco is damaged, consider having it repaired and repainted. Finally, call us and have our team of cleaning professionals clean your windows and window screens. Dirty, dusty windows not only look terrible from the outside, but can also negatively impact the view from the inside. They’re not very conducive to selling a home.

Put your home’s best foot forward

Most homebuyers today use online listing services to look through dozens, if not hundreds, of homes on the market. This technology allows them to control what homes they see based on their budget, the number of bedrooms, amenities, and a wide range of other factors. With their search parameters set, your home now has to compete against similar properties on the market in your area. You need to do everything you can to ensure that your home looks like the best buy.

In these apps, buyers generally do not spend much time looking at each property. Instead, they’ll quickly swipe past homes. Now more than ever before, it’s critical that you have well-lit, high-quality photos of your home’s interior and exterior, as these can influence what buyers think about your home in a subliminal fashion. The more buyers who view your home’s listing, the more in-person visits you’ll get. With more in-person visits comes more offers, allowing you to choose the most competitive one and maximize your ROI.

In addition to having a professional clean your carpets, windows, and tile, you should also talk to your realtor about hiring a professional photographer. Having a professional out to your home to take amazing photos and walkthrough videos of your home can result in a much quicker sale at a much higher value. Your realtor will most likely have pre-existing connections with a few such professionals in the area.
