How do you prepare your property for sale?
Presentation
Why can two properties that appear the same on paper sell for vastly different prices? It’s the power of presentation.
Take the time, make a plan, do the work and reap the rewards.
You only get one chance to make a first impression. There are so many little ways in which you can maximise the instant appeal of your home. The effort and expenditure you put into preparing it for sale can be an extremely profitable use of time and money.
Emotional decisions are based on sight, sound and smell. Your house must look attractive, the sounds should be unobtrusive and odours should be inoffensive. Below are a few easy makeover tactics to help you sell at a premium price.
1. Gardens are important
The first rule for creating a good first impression is having a great looking front garden. This is where potential buyers first see your property and it is important for it to look well maintained and immaculate.
2. Cleanliness
Kitchens and bathrooms are the main areas buyers are interested in, so have yours looking spotless. White goods and electrical equipment being sold with the house should also be washed until gleaming and presented in good working order.
3. General Presentation
Presenting a tidy, yet lived in home with plenty of light and space, will do wonders for it’s attraction. Presentation is of up most importance and could be the difference between a sale or a stale property.
3. Cut the clutter
Show off the rooms to their best advantage. Remember, you are selling your home not showing off your furniture, so take away any pieces that clutter the rooms. Pack away as much clutter as you can and store in the garage if necessary.
4. Little things that make a difference
The key to an inviting home is to create a feeling of welcome that greets your visitors the instant they step through the door. Place vases of fresh flowers strategically around the home. Check all lights are working and ensure living areas are presented in a warm yet bright light. Open the curtains to create a feeling of light and airiness.
5. Entertainment areas and pools
Outdoor entertainment areas should be swept and clean, furniture should be displayed to present an attractive and warmly inviting entertaining area. A swimming pool is a superb attraction to buyers looking for a home with entertainment and recreational facilities. Ensure your pool is vacuumed, the water crystal clean and clear of leaves and other debris. Clean the edging tiles and store away pool equipment including the creepy crawly, hoses and covers.
