How to maximize your sale price and sell faster.

Most vendors have a rough idea about how to maximize the sale price and sell their property faster. But what many don’t realize is real estate experts have a few ‘selling one percenters’ which help secure sales. Preparing your home for viewers is important. It will not only ensure your property sells faster, and for a higher sale price; can potentially add thousands of dollars to its value.

 

Declutter – but don’t depersonalize

Get rid of excess stuff that has accumulated in every nook and cranny. Put it in storage, sell it, give it away or bin it. Consider removing any bulky furniture that makes the room feel small and replacing it with smaller furniture.

People need to be able to envisage what the property would look like if they were living there. People often find this difficult, so make it easy for them to see all the fantastic living space you’re offering them. Don’t make it look like a generic hotel; leave some personality. Apart from anything else, it gives unimaginative buyers suggestions as to what they might do. People are often buying into a lifestyle as much as a property. Show them the attractive side of your lifestyle.

Give your property a fresh coat of paint

Incredibly, most people won't realize that you have just painted your property to make it look fresh and new. However, stick to neutral colors, and they can make spaces appear larger and give buyers the opportunities to visualize their own decor.

 

 

Maximize kerb appeal

Kerb appeal creates a lasting first impression – most buyers make up their minds in the first few minutes of arriving at a property. A well-maintained front garden, pathways and fences, and a well-painted frontage were also important. See how much it costs to do some simple updates to the exterior of your home to enhance its kerb appeal and value. 

Check all of your doors and windows

Think about energy-efficient replacements? If replacements aren't an option, then make sure that all doors and windows fit and open properly and are free from cracks and damage.

Fix and clean

Make any minor repairs necessary – holes in walls, broken doorknobs, cracked tiles, torn or threadbare carpets. Many buyers want to move in without making changes, so allow for this.

Clean everything until it sparkles. Get rid of limescale, clean and repair tile grout, wax wooden floors, get rid of all odors, hang up fresh towels. This will make the place more appealing and allow viewers to imagine living there.

Tidy up the garden: cut bushes back, clean the patio and furniture of lichen and dirt, and cut the grass. While this doesn’t add much value to your home it makes it more likely to sell as people visualize themselves using the garden.

 

Give your kitchen an inexpensive makeover

A kitchen is not only a functional space; it is often the hub of family life. Make it warm and inviting, and it could secure your asking price on its own.

With a few minor changes to your kitchen surfaces, cupboards, and taps, you can bring your kitchen into the modern era.

 

Make sure your bathroom sparkles

Most prospective buyers will forgive an aging bathroom, but very few will forgive a dirty one. Spend some time attending to small repairs, but more importantly, make sure everything is clean. If your budget can stretch to a replacement toilet or sink, you could be able to create a great impression with a relatively low spend.

Light and airy

Wall mirrors make a room look much bigger and lighter. Consider putting some up, especially in smaller rooms or hallways. Clean windows inside and out, and replace any broken light bulbs. Making the place feel light and airy makes rooms feel bigger and the property more attractive. Ensure that you have lamps on in any dark corners

 

Borrow some quality furniture 

By adorning your home with borrowed or rented furniture that adds the element of luxury, you could be able to create an overall aesthetic of opulence in even the most modest of homes.

 

Make it look pretty

Make sure the windows are properly dressed with blinds or curtains as naked windows make a place feel impersonal and run down. Buy some cheap ones if necessary. Plants and flowers bring color, life and light to a room and also smell wonderful. So does that fruit bowl on your kitchen counter.

 

Make your property ready to move into

Particularly if your home is attracting first-time buyers, creating a home that can be moved into immediately without any major renovation, decoration or repair could give your property the edge over others in your area. Imagine what you want from your next property, and try to replicate it to entice buyers with limited budgets.
