A lot of people ask me what is the best process to get a house ready for sale and what can you do to enhance the look of my home:
Painting:
When walking into a home open the first thing most people will notice is how light and bright the home is. Character homes often have a few rooms that have different colour walls or paint that is starting to flake and looks grubby. For a few thousand dollars painting all rooms WHITE will not only brighten up the house but will enhance the room sizes and character features (ornate ceilings).
Garden:
Lush green grass, budding flower beds and a well maintained garden will add $$$$$ to your property and make the home present just that much better. The weeks leading up going to market, do the mulching then, the last thing you want is to have your home open with the smell of manure lingering around. For homes that is more lock up and leave that has little garden, make sure what garden you have looks great. If you think it looks a little bland, get a few pot plants the add a bit of colour to the yard.
Junk & Clutter:
When selling your home, you want to enhance the size of each room.....this means getting rid of the stuff that doesn't need to be there! book shelf's that are randomly placed in hallways, bedrooms that have junk throughout and backyard's that have all the kids outdoor toys around...... its time for a spring clean! When potential buyers walk through a house, they picture their furniture in the rooms, so the less you have the better it is for them buyers to picture how it could work for them.
The Day of The Home Open
The main day! After all that hard work getting ready for this day what can you do to finish it off? Make sure the home presents beautify, everything clean, windows nice and clear, The less clutter in the kitchen the better and gardens neat and tidy. If your home presents magnificently it will stay in the mind of the buyers...remember, your home is not the only one they are seeing today, so you want to leave an impression!
Getting a home ready for sale can be a very stressful process, though when that offer comes in and everything is signed......it will be all worth it!
