Everyone who sells their home wants a quick sale and the best price. Sounds good? Luck has nothing to do with making it happen. Preparing your home in advance, to look its best, as well as planning for viewings carefully will lead to that speedy sale and top price that you want.
This is a helpful guide to a few simple tricks you can use for a hassle-free sale, at a good price. You're going to do a business deal. Try to forget that this house is your home. It isn't for much longer. It's bricks and cement that you want someone else to buy now. In the near future you'll have a new house to call home!
Have in your mind's eye the moment where you hand over the keys, and various paperwork. Bid farewell to each and every room, and look to the future, and where your new home will be.
To give buyers the opportunity to imagine the house as their own, wipe the slate clean. Store away your things and take everything off the walls. This will help your buyers to picture their furniture in the rooms and their pictures on the walls. Your things will get in the way of this, so move them.
Most people clutter up their homes over the years. This won't look good to buyers. Give away the things you don't need to friends, family, or a charity shop. If you've not used an item for over a year, you don't need it. Take your books off their shelves, and send them to storage, ready for your new home. Any items in regular use can be put in a box, which can then be retrieved as and when you need it. This way, you'll also have made a start with the packing.
Buyers looking around your house will be nosey. They'll look in drawers, cupboards and wardrobes. If you minimise clutter, and everything's neat and tidy, this will help to give a good impression, as well as showing how much you have cared for the house. Hang up your shirts neatly, clear the tables, and keep the kitchen clean and tidy. This makes you and your house look good, and is encouraging to buyers.
If you have a lot of furniture in your house, send it to storage. There's nothing worse than a cluttered home; your buyers need to have the freedom to look around easily, as well as imagine each room as their own, and how they will use it. Once the bookcases are bare, remove them. If any items of furniture make a space look cramped, remove those too.
To help your house look as well maintained as possible, take the time to repair any minor issues. If there are holes in the walls, patch them up. Fix any doors or windows that are difficult to open or close. Make the effort to paint walls neutral colours. There's nothing worse than a buyer remembering your house for a green bathroom or pink bedroom!
