Tip for Selling a Home
1 – Make sure the house is light and bright
Having a dark home can be a major negative factor for prospective buyers.
2 – Be sure to remove any clutter
Creating space is also very important from a presentation aspect.
3 – Use a proven professional photographer for the property photos
It has been proven time and time again that good photos generate interest in a home and so more buyers to a property.
4 – Use proven agents that have a good track record in your area
This will help in the professional approach to selling your home.
5 – Rearrange Bedroom Closets and Kitchen Cabinets
Buyers love to snoop and will open closet and cabinet doors. Think of the message it sends to them if items fall out! Now, imagine what a buyer believes about you if they see everything organized. It says you probably take good care of the rest of the house as well.
6 – De-Personalize your home
Pack up those personal photographs and family heirlooms. Buyers can’t see past personal artifacts, and you don’t want them to be distracted. You want buyers to imagine their own photos on the walls, and they can’t do that if yours are there!
7 – Make Minor Repairs
– Repair cracks in the cladding
8 – Make the House Sparkle!
-Wash windows inside and out
-Pressure wash exterior cladding and paths
-Clean out cobwebs
-Re-caulk baths, showers and sinks
-Polish chrome faucets and mirrors
-Clean out the refrigerator
-Vacuum daily
-Dust furniture, ceiling fan blades and light fixtures
-Bleach grout
-Replace worn rugs
-Hang up fresh towels
-Clean and air out any musty smelling areas. Odors are a no-no
9 – Get an independent valuation
Having a registerered valuation does not only give you an assessment of what the property should be listed at, but it also gives you an independent assessment.
10 – Have City Line Infrared Undertake an Infrared Pre Sale Inspection
These days there is a stigma around buying a home with monolithic cladding, as it could be a leaky home.
Undertaking a Thermal Imaging Infrared inspection will give people at the open home piece of mind, that an inspection has been done, and a report written to confirm that there are no moisture problems in the home. This will then allow them to take it to the next level and hopefully make an offer.
