Preparing your House For Sale

It is a New Year and with the new year come big decisions!  If you are thinking of selling, here are some tips for preparing your house for sale so that it appeals to potential buyers

  1. Clean and declutter:  Clean your house thoroughly and remove any clutter or personal items that may distract buyers from seeing the home’s potential.  People like to envision their own furniture in the space, so less is more.
  2. Make repairs: Fix any broken items or areas of the house that need attention, such as leaky faucets or cracks in the walls
  3. Paint: A fresh coat of paint can make a big difference in the overall appearance of a room, and it is more appealing to buyers.
  4. Stage the home: Stage the home with furniture and decor that appeals to a wide range of buyers and showcases the potential of each space throughout the house.   You can use a professional staging company or do this yourself.  Either way, your agent can help.
  5. Take high-quality photos: High-quality photos are critical to attracting buyers to your home. Photos are the first impression! Make sure to hire a professional photographer. Your agent will have several contacts for qualified photographers who specialise in real estate.
  6. Market it effectively: your real estate agent will encourage you to use online and offline marketing strategies to get the word out about your home, such as listing it on real estate websites and hosting open houses.  Trust them, they are professionals and know the market conditions and also what marketing works and what doesn’t.
