Advice for Sellers
Price: If listing your property with a number of agents (as is common) it is advisable to keep the same sales price for each agent. A buyer interested in your property may be 'put off' if they see it advertised at many different prices.
Sign: Consider using the 'FOR SALE' sign of your main agent. This significantly increases the number of client enquiries for your property.
Inventory: If your intend to sell your property with furniture - make an inventory and give it to your agent to avoid confusion or discrepancies later in the sale proceedings.
Presenting Your Home For Sale
When your home goes on the market you obviously want potential purchasers to see it at its best - making a good first impression can mean the difference between receiving serious offers for your home or being subjected to months of viewing clients dropping by but never buying. So how can you ensure that your home will make the best impression possible? Here are some savvy tips for home sellers:
Focus on curb appeal: Keep the outside of your house or apartment in good presentable condition i.e. cut the grass, sweep the paths, plant some flowers, store unneccessary items out of sight, after dark turn on exterior lighting.
Clear out the clutter: Nobody expects your home to look like a show home because you live there, but keep the untidiness to a minimum and get rid of anything you don't need or use. If your home has too much furniture or cluttered kitchen and bathrooms try and have a clear out. Buyers need to be able to SEE your home.
Use your nose: Eliminate bad smells (animals, rubbish, ash trays etc) and introduce pleasant smells (flowers, fresh coffee, pot pourri, baking! etc), simple but effective ways of increasing the pleasant atmosphere in your home.
Make all necessary repairs: Repair any small defects, the less DIY needed on your home could increase the value of your buyers first offer.
Introduce lifestyle accessories: Make sure your home is warm and inviting. Set the dining table with your best dishes. Put out your best towels. Make up the spare bed. Put some logs in the fireplace. Use your imagination.
Remove distractions: Keep dogs out of the way, your pooch may be a big softy but some visitors may be intimidated. Turn off the TV.
Get a buyer's-eye view: Walk up to your home and pretend you've never seen it before. What do you notice? It is inviting? Would you want to buy this home? Your answers should be yes!
REMEMBER, ANYONE LOOKING AROUND YOUR HOME WILL BE PICTURING THEMSELVES LIVING THERE SO MAKE IT AS EASY FOR THEM AS POSSIBLE.
