Preparing Your Home For Sale

So you have decided to sell your home.

Have you considered what needs to be done to prepare the property to get the best price? Selling your home is one of the top three most stressful times in your life. So all the help you can get will both take away some of the stress and help you achieve the maximum price for your home.

Have you prepared the property for the photographs?
It’s not always as easy as inviting round the Estate Agent and giving him a coffee and a smile and then getting good news as to what he might hope to achieve for you? The more effort that you can put into preparing your home even
before the Estate Agents come round will actually make you more than you think.

Are the rooms selling themselves or does the potential purchaser have to have a vivid imagination? Advice relating to the layout of the rooms and the decoration that you choose can make the house appealing to any potential purchaser. Its always a hard piece of advice to give, but seldom does the tangerine wall go with the pink and yellow spotted carpet. If you are selling your property, then the goal is to make it appeal to the market and that doesn’t always correspond with your own personal taste.

A little investment of time and money at the beginning will reap the benefits in the long run.

If a house is homely for you doesn’t necessarily mean homely for someone else.  Are you selling your home or a blank canvas for someone to walk in and make their mark? You will certainly benefit from maximising your returns and making your home attractive to the market.

Have you done all the painting needed? One thing that potential purchasers will want is the ability to make their mark on a property and make it their home. Therefore when offering the property to the market you need to ensure that they have the opportunity of being able to change things to their particular tastes. Don’t be too attached to a particular decor, but instead make the environment as light, yet warm as you can.

Have you done all those jobs around the house?
Cleared the drains and gutters?
Cut the grass and cleared the boarders of weeds?
Cleaned the whole house from top to bottom?
Does your bathroom sparkle?
The list is endless…..
