How to get your home ready for sale!
When selling your home first impression count, you have only
8 seconds to impress them. Here are some tips to help get your property ready
for market.
Curb appeal
This is the first thing the viewers will see, so take a good
look at what you're presenting. Peeling
paint, dirty windows, and dead plants, you have work to do! Remove debris such
as fallen tree branches and leaves. Keep grass and shrubs trimmed, freshen up
flowerbeds. Putting some flowers in front of the house or by the front door
always makes people smile. Have a FOR SALE sign it helps your buyer find you!
Decluttering
Decluttering is so important you want the viewer to imagine
living in the property. Removing excess furniture, clutter, personal items will
make you home feel bigger. Clean your home from top to bottom, i.e. Wash windows inside and out, dust down the
cobwebs, polish chrome and mirrors, hoover, dust furniture and light fixtures.
Unfinished jobs
Get round to it, Now! If there’s a cupboard door hanging off
or a tap that’s dripping – get it repaired. If the grouting in your shower has
gone black or the carpet in the dining room is threadbare – get it replaced. You might also want to think about removing
all traces of your pet. Some people are allergic to cats. Some people are scared of boisterous dogs.
The temperature
First impressions aren’t just about what you can see, they
are also about what you hear and what you feel! Having the heating on in the
winter months allows your viewers to view the property without wanting to get
out as quickly as possible. It also applies in the summer try keeping the
property cool. You can do this by shutting the curtain before the viewing (make
sure you re open just before the viewing takes place)
Hope all these tips help you.
Good luck!
