Staging your property and Curb Appeal

The next step in preparing your home to sell is to do a thorough visual inspection of your home. Small imperfections can lead a potential buyer to question what other issues the home may have. You must disclose any known issues with the home to your buyer so it is often best to go ahead and address the issues before they can discourage an otherwise interested buyer. In addition, most home buyers use the services of a certified home inspector to search for issues that may not be obvious. You may want to hire an inspector prior to listing the home so there are no surprises that could potentially derail your sale. You can then provide a copy the inspection report to any interested buyers as an additional piece of information to help them make a purchase decision.

Our Top 5 Home Selling Tips

#1 Bathrooms and Kitchen
Make sure that your bathrooms and en-suites all feel clean and “spa-like” and make sure that you keep it smelling fresh. In the kitchen, try to clean away any food or unnecessary cookware to really show off your countertops and fitted furniture. Create a homely feeling by baking fresh bread or cakes and brewing freshly ground coffee, this can be your secret weapon in securing a sale, as smells tend to help people remember a property.

#2 Attic or Loft Spaces
Clean out any clutter and donate or sell all of the items that you no longer need, unless it’s an antique or collectible, you probably put the item in the loft because you weren’t using them regularly. Try to let go of any junk to show off the storage potential of your property.

#3 All Rooms
Try to revert all rooms to their original purpose wherever possible. Potential buyers will not necessarily have the same needs or uses for the rooms in your home as you might have period it is always better to appeal to a generic buyer, for example; If the house started life as a 5 bedroom property and you’ve converted one bedroom into an office or gymnasium that can be easily reverted then try to do it, as it may increase your chances of a sale as well as the value of the property rising with the added bedroom.

#4 Living Room
Make the living room more spacious by removing a few pieces of furniture and putting away clutter. Remember that your taste may not match your potential buyer, sometimes bold artwork choices aren’t or ornaments can really put a buyer off as they can’t picture themselves living in the property, always try to keep things neutral.

#5 Garage
Firstly remove any lingering old junk and boxes. Try and clean up any dirt or grease spots and if possible improve the visual appeal by repainting your garage floor. Make room to assure the potential buyer that they can fit their car in the garage even if you don’t park it in there yourself.

To show your home in the best possible light to potential buyers here is a list of recommendations:

Turn on all the lights in the home.

Open all of the window blinds and curtains.

Make up your beds and put away dirty clothing.

Clean up the floors and vacuum any carpets.

Turn on some music – no metal please – and keep it low.

If you have a home theater – put a movie on.

Clean up the kitchen.

Make sure the temperature is comfortable.

Finally… Leave the house, preferably before the buyers arrive.
