21 Tips To Prepare Your House For Selling
How we live when we sell a house is different than how we live when we’re not. A good real estate agent will tell you some tips and tricks to make your home more appealing, it’s important to be aware of how potential buyers perceive your home. When a buyer walks into your home you want them to envision how they will be living there, and sometimes it’s difficult when you have clutter and personal items strewn around. So here are some tips to improve your odds:
Clean
Dust on top of the fireplace mantle and fan blades, polish your appliances and faucets, and give the windows a thorough washing. If you’ve already moved out or if you’re too busy to stay on top of things, consider hiring a cleaning service to stop by every couple of weeks.
Pay attention to smells.
Clear out the mess
Keep the decorations simple.
Get rid of personal items.
Light is your friend
Open up all the windows to let in natural light and add floor or table lamps to areas that are dim. A bright, cheery room looks bigger and more inviting.
Closet Space
Storage space is a huge selling point, and if your closets are stuffed to the brim, buyers will think you don’t have enough of it. Invest in some boxes, dividers and other solutions that will help you make your stuff look more organized,
Get that “to-do” list done
All those little things you’ve been meaning to do but never got around to? Buyers will notice them, and they’ll detract from the perceived value of your home.
Close the toilet
When it comes to both showing and photographing your home, this little trick can make a surprising difference.
Curb Appeal
Don’t spend all your time indoors. More than one buyer has decided not to even enter a home based on its curb appeal, so make sure your home’s exterior looks excellent. Trim your shrubs, weed your flower beds, fix any peeling paint and keep the walkway clear.
In Conclusion
Thanks for reading, hopefully these tips can help you sell your home for TOP DOLLAR. Remember that buying a home is an emotional decision more so than a logical one. So when you make your home look beautiful, people will perceive it as so (and people love beautiful things)
