Selling your home in Costa Rica? You’ve probably heard this before: first impressions matter. And it’s true—how your home looks and feels can make or break a sale.

The good news? You don’t need a full remodel to impress buyers.

1. Clear the Clutter

Less stuff = more space.
Pack away personal photos, knickknacks, and anything that distracts buyers from seeing the home as theirs. Think clean, open, and calm.

2. Clean Like Never Before

This is the time for a real deep clean.
Floors, windows, kitchen, bathrooms—make everything sparkle. A spotless home feels newer, better cared for, and more valuable.

3. Fix the Little Things

That leaky faucet you’ve been ignoring? Fix it.
Buyers notice small issues, and they add up. Tighten loose handles, patch up scuffed walls, and replace any burnt-out bulbs.

4. Let There Be Light

Open the curtains, turn on the lights, and let the natural glow in.
Bright homes feel more spacious and inviting—especially here in the tropics.

5. Stage the Space

You don’t need fancy furniture. Just arrange what you have to make each room feel open and welcoming.
If you’ve got an outdoor area (terrace, garden, patio), show it off—it’s a huge plus in Costa Rica.

6. Boost Curb Appeal

Your front door is the handshake before the hello.
Clean up the yard, trim the plants, and maybe add a fresh potted palm or two. First impressions start outside.

7. Use Great Photos

Most buyers will see your home online before ever setting foot in it. Professional photos make a huge difference—trust us.
