When it comes to selling your home, presentation is key. A well-presented property can make all the difference in attracting potential buyers and securing a successful sale. In this article, we will cover the top 10 MIX of little things that make a big impact to help you showcase your home in its best light and increase its appeal to buyers.
How to present your home for sale with confidence & success
So, whether you're a seasoned homeowner or a first-time seller, here are our tops tips:
1. Clean and declutter: A clean, clutter-free home is more appealing to potential buyers. Remove personal items and excess furniture to create a spacious and inviting atmosphere. Depersonalise by removing personal items, family photos, and anything that may be distracting to potential buyers. You want them to be able to imagine themselves living in the home.
2. Paint and repair: If needed, it is certainly worth giving your home a fresh coat of paint and to fix any minor repairs. This will help your property look well-maintained and increase its value. You want to remove as many objections from the buyers mind as possible and finish off all small jobs.
3. Stage the property: Staging a property means arranging furniture and decor in a way that highlights the home's features and makes it look as attractive as possible. There are professional staging companies that can provide a full house of staging and styling or with some simple techniques and a shopping trip you can also do this yourself.
4. Enhance curb appeal: First impressions are so important. Take a good look at the entrance to your property. Make sure the outside of your home looks tidy and attractive by simply landscaping, painting the front door, or adding outdoor lighting, improving the driveway and front porch.
5. Take great photos: Good quality, professional photographs can make all the difference in attracting potential buyers when selling your home. The photos are generally the first thing a buyer will look at of your home so it is worth the investment, there are no dress rehearsals in real estate.
6. Price it right: Pricing your home competitively is key to attracting buyers and selling quickly. Research is the key here to determine the market value that will be attractive and present good value for buyers. Consider getting a professional market appraisal.
7. Use technology: Utilise technology to showcase your home, this includes drone photography, video and floor plans. This will help potential buyers get a better understanding of the layout and space around your home.
8. It's not just what you see: Buyers don't just like a property by the way it looks, scent is a big contributor on how someone feels about a space. Have your home smelling fresh for inspections, air out the home and use candles or room sprays. If you have pets, remove beds/cat litter from the home before inspection times.
9. What can you hear: Some ambient music works well to make buyers feel at home in your space, Spotify has a great mix of open home playlists to set a relaxing tune for your showing times.
10. Keep it well-lit: Open curtains, turn on lights, and replace any burnt-out light bulbs. Good lighting makes a home feel warm and inviting.
