How to set the stage for a fast home sale

A well staged and presented home will sell 50% faster than their counterparts. First impressions are the key and within the first 30 seconds upon entering, a potential buyer will make a decision.

Potential buyers are first presenting themselves to your property so make sure your property presents itself to them!

1.  How does my home look…..

Ensure the exterior looks clean and tidy, make sure you can clearly see your house number from the street, tidy up the garden and clear outdoor clutter. The only thing that should be in the driveway is a clean car.

Outdoor space will always add value. Make the most of what you have, Create a simple seating area for potential entertaining or relaxing outdoors.

Next you should declutter, clean and organise all rooms within your home. Clear and organise kitchen benches and shelves. You want your kitchen space to appear large, clean and functional.

Also keep the bathroom as bare as possible. Keep your personals out of view. “Less is more”.

2.  Create the Illusion…

One powerful selling tip is to depersonalize your whole property.

Buyers are more attracted to your property when they can imagine themselves living there…

You might consider placing temporarily in storage some of your family photos, holiday souvenirs, trophies and certificates, collectibles, children’s artwork and home gyms that have not been used in months.

Your house will look lived in without looking like anyone actually lives there.

3.  Take the time to prepare for sale…..

Address all repairs that need attention.

The small investment of time and money will mean a bigger return when it comes to the sale price.

You may need to make a few small purchases like pillows, flowers orbed covers so your home will show well. Again you will certainly see a return on your investment.

You are putting your home on display and if you don’t think you can present it well then ask a friend or family to prepare your house for you.

Don’t forget you are decorating your house for someone else – this will help you to make purchases that appeal to the masses.

Empty your waste baskets and garbage bins daily. When having inspections try to keep pets and their litter trays and food bowls out doors.

4.  Create the right feel in the home….

Above all, have fun with your home and relax during this stressful process.
