Advice to people selling their property
Selling your property quickly and gaining the best possible price is a priority for any estate agent. Homeowners can take simple steps to help this process by remembering that first impressions are incredibly important. Studies indicate that your prospective buyer will form an opinion within thirty seconds of drawing up outside your property, so a small amount of effort preparing your home beforehand is certainly time well spent.
Create the right impression inside and out
Make sure your garden is kept tidy. A well kept garden usually looks larger and in need of less maintenance than an untidy one. A fresh coat of paint can work wonders to improve the appearance of your front door and window sills. Sweep and clean the entrance porch and make sure the doorbell is working.
Moving inside, create the feeling of space by making sure that the interior is free of clutter. Store any oversized furniture and remove any boxes or containers. Make sure the property is clean. Dust and vacuum throughout, clean the bathrooms and give the kitchen a thorough going over. Replace light bulbs if needed and repair any broken door knobs or latches.
Make your property welcoming
Finally, create the right mood. If you have a dog try to keep it isolated when people visit as not everyone likes them. The smell of flowers can make a room feel more welcoming as can a warm home in winter and open windows in the summer. If you are showing people around, try to be as helpful as possible and answer all their questions truthfully.
