In only nine days, I will be running my second marathon! As you probably know, I am running to help raise money for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation (@crohnscolitisfoundation). This year, I have already matched my fundraising efforts from my first marathon thanks in part to the contributions from generous customers of Herberger's in Stillwater, Minnesota, who purchased Community Days booklets in November of 2017 and February of 2018! I also received an amazing donation of $1,500 from Patterson Dental (@offthecusp) in honor of my sister's 20 year work anniversary! Thank you, Jennifer, for choosing to donate the money to my charity run! You are awesome! Finally, I want to thank everyone who has donated to either of my charity runs! We really need to find a cure! If you want to donate, there is a link in my bio! #TeamChallenge #TCFamily #26point2 #charityrunner #Crohns #Colitis #Stillwater #StillwaterMN #HudsonWI #Minneapolis #SaintPaul #TwinCitiesMN #MedtronicMarathon #TwinCitiesMarathon #TCMarathon (at Hudson, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRs9bIFklX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qhgt9xek4cpt

Sell Your Home Faster
Without lowering your asking price, what can you do to sell your home faster? The following are strategies that will help your property sell quickly without your wallet taking a heavy hit.
1. Declutter
Few things detract from the beauty of a home quite like clutter. Though straightening and organizing is rarely the way most homeowners want to spend their days, it makes a huge difference. We’re not just talking about scrapping the junk mail either. Rid your entryways and mud rooms of extra coats, bags, and boots. Keep those countertops clear, and don’t forget to straighten up inside the kitchen and bathroom cabinets!
2. Rent a storage unit
Try removing one third of your items — especially from closets — before putting your home on the market, as this will make your home appear more spacious. Consider renting a storage unit rather than stuffing your basement or attic — because buyers look there as well!
3. Clean like you’ve never cleaned before
Whether you’ve lived in a home for a few months or a few decades, some stains become invisible to you. While not every visitor will perform the old white glove test, they will notice things like dirty windowsills and dusty shelves. (And that crusty stuff on the bottom of your oven needs to go too.)
4. Up your curb appeal
If a property looks well-cared for from the outside, chances are it’s been well-maintained on the inside too. Plus, prospective owners look at a lush lawn as one less thing they have to deal with after they move in.
5. Remove personal items
As hard as it might be to imagine that no one wants to see your Beanie Baby collection, it’s true. Not only will quirky displays distract would-be buyers, they can turn them off to the property completely. Don’t take that chance.
6. Be your own marketing machine
While having a great agent in your corner is half the battle, don’t be shy when it comes to spreading the word on your own. You never know who has friends or family looking for new digs!
7. Make sure your photos are perfect & plentiful
Most buyers will form a first impression of your home based on online listing photos. So you definitely don’t want to leave picture-taking to an amateur. An experienced photographer knows how to show off each room to its full advantage.
8. Make minor upgrades (that make a major difference)
Fresh coats of paint brighten up rooms and make them appear fresh again. If you don’t have the money to splurge on a major kitchen renovation, consider inexpensive updates like switching out the hardware or light fixtures. If you’re willing to invest a bit more, replace an outdated appliance or two.
Something as simple as cleaning the grout in your bathroom will go a long way toward making the place shine.
9. Keep the pets (and their odor) out
While you might think of your pet as a furry family member, not everyone is going to be as fond of Fido — or his funk. You may be immune to the scent of your cat or dog, so ask someone you trust to tell you if your home has an odor as that proves a major turnoff to buyers.
Once you’ve got the smell under control, make sure your pet is not on the premises for any showings. People with allergies or those who fear an unfamiliar pooch not only feel more comfortable but take the time to explore rather than run back to their car.
10. Adding a closet, adds a bedroom
If you have a den or home office and believe your place would sell faster if it had another bedroom, adding a closet is easier than you think. If you’re handy, instructions abound, making this a DIY project for any weekend warrior. Rather leave it to the pros? Homeadvisor.com estimates the average cost to build a 6.5 feet wide walk-in closet is around $1,500, which is a small investment compared to how much value another bedroom adds to your home — and its asking price.
If this takes your three-bedroom home to a four-bedroom and that’s what sells fastest in your neighborhood, it’s time to start planning.
11. Take care of anything that will pop up during inspection
You know that loose handrail you’ve been ignoring? Fix it. Now. If you’re aware of problems that will undoubtedly appear on a home inspector’s report, deal with them as soon as you can so you don’t waste time or lose a potential buyer.
