DEFECTS HIDDEN OR DISCLOSED?
Selling a property is an important decision. There are many things to consider. From the price at which you need to list it for sale, to how you need to organise it before you show it, to deciding whether or not to contract an estate agent. The good news is that there are dozens of ways you can make your job easier. The ideal house does exist. But you don't have to take on the stress of selling your home yourself.
DO NOT SKIMP ON THE STAGING
Before you even start looking for a selling price or potential buyers, you should you take the time to value your property. What does it need? Where do you think it needs more attention? What would you do if the property wasn't yours?
It's important that you go through this process before you put the home on the market so that when potential buyers walk in, they see your vision of what your living space should look like. The best way to improve the look of your property is to stage it immaculately. That means making sure you're selling a lifestyle, not just a property.
Your staging should show prospective buyers what your property looks like on a day-to-day basis and highlight all of its best features and benefits. Potential buyers need to know what they're getting when they place a bid. A first step that may seem complicated, but is essential to show your property in its best light.
UPGRADING THE PROPERTY
Staging and value enhancement are two things that go hand in hand for a successful sale. If buyers can't imagine living there, they won't buy from you. This simple but obvious sentence needs to be anchored in your mind in order to sell your property properly.
That's why it's important to emphasise your home or homes as a place where someone would want to live all day. Switch on your lights and use outdoor lighting to emphasise the natural light that comes through your windows during the day. Favour daytime visits. Remember to ventilate. Don't be afraid to repaint a room if it's too dark. All of these things and more will help your property stand out more. Remember, you don't want to stress yourself out when selling.
ELIMINATE CLUTTER INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
One of the best ways to sell your property quickly is to get rid of the clutter. Clutter can have a negative impact on potential buyers as it makes the property look smaller and more cramped. To combat this, you should go through your cupboards, wardrobes, drawers and garage to get rid of anything lying around. This will also give you a clearer and larger overview of your property.
Make sure potential buyers can see everything at all times by removing unnecessary clutter inside and outside your home. Remove any pet products or outdoor toys that are scattered around your yard so that passers-by can better focus on the actual size of your property. This will help them visualise themselves wanting to live there full-time. It will also make it easier for them to take the measure for buying furniture or garden equipment. Remember that clutter isn't always a bad thing. It can be useful if it has sentimental value or meaning to you. For example, if you have a collection of teddy bears that your children love, you don't have to dispose of them immediately. On the other hand, if you are unsure about an item such as an old television or broken or outdated children's toys, you should keep it out of sight until you need it again.
ADD PERSONALITY
Your property is a part of you. It is already personalised because you live in it yourself. So don't hesitate to put it centre stage. Emphasise your personal touches in your property to give it even more personality. If you want to add a little personality, try adding small pieces of art and decor. This will help give you an idea of who you are and what you like, and it can also help potential buyers visualise their life in that space. You also don't have to spend a lot of money to personalise each room. For example, you can take photos of your travels and print them out at home. Arrange them to give them a personal touch. This way you can combine decoration and personality to help potential buyers visualise themselves in your new property.
BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST
Almost 95% of people believe they can sell their home in less than three months, but that's not always the case. Prepare early to avoid any surprises. A lot can go wrong when selling a property, but there are also ways to prepare. You should do your research before you put the house up for sale. Perhaps the time period you have chosen is not the right one. How do you choose the right time of year to sell? Have money on the side to cover any potential setbacks such as advertising, minor or major renovations, etc. Having to wait for authorisation from the buyer's bank before you can proceed with the transfer request. And thus put the purchase of your future home on hold. You have to be prepared for the buyers and perhaps also for their demands. Nothing is absolutely impossible. But if you prepare well, you can look at your property with hindsight and be more relaxed. Selling without stress.
