Preparing a home for sale can be a daunting task, and obviously you want to ensure you have done everything to ensure a quick sale and a successful outcome.
With this in mind, here are seven expert tips for selling your property.
First of all, make sure the house is clean and well maintained.
This will help potential buyers feel comfortable inside your home, and it shows them how much pride you have in the property.
Secondly, think about what might be missing from the property – a certain feature or amenity that would really stand out?
For example, would adding a deck to your home, or fixing up that tired looking fence create a much better first impression for your home. After all, it is usually the first impression that sells a property!
Showcase the functionality of your home
Be sure that your home is fitted with modern fixtures and appliances, because these are what people tend to notice first when they walk in a property for sale.
The quality of the tiles and flooring, and general finishes of a property are the small details that make big impact to a buyers decision. IF they know they don’t need to spend additional money on the property after purchase this can ensure you get the price you are asking.
Adding perceived value
Consider converting unused or awkward areas into usable spaces to make your home more appealing.
It could be the conversion of a small space into a study nook, or a part of the garden area that could be converted into an outdoor entertainment area, or adding an inviting modern fire pit feature to the property.
It doesn’t need to be huge expenses that can help the property sell itself.
Prepare your property for the open home inspections.
A general tidy up of your yard and home in general can create an enormous first impression and give the property an instant ‘homely’ feel to potential buyers.
General cleaning of windows and screens, painting or sealing of any timber areas, tidying garden beds and paths, and undertaking a general tidy up of the interior. These simple aesthetics can improve the appeal of your home instantly.
Enlist an Agent
A real estate agent has no doubt viewed many properties and will certainly know what appeals to buyers, and most importantly, what modifications can create a more saleable home. when choosing your real estate agent, ask them these types of questions before signing on with them as your agent. Their advice can be very valuable, and if you are really serious, they can possibly recommend an interior designer to provide more tips.
Talk to a handyman
Your local One Call Handyman will be able to provide guidance and services as well, and will have plenty of experience in providing the right advice not only on what could be done to improve the property, but the right quality materials that should be used to ensure it is done correctly.
With these essential tips in mind, you’ll be sure to get your property sale off to a great start, and sell your home for its true value.
