There are many tips and tricks realtors can offer when you’re thinking about selling. There are many ways to maximize your properties value by doing minimal staging, cleaning, and preparing.
Maintaining a Clean Property
This includes both the interior and exterior of the property. These inexpensive tips can increase the demand and value of your sale. Often times netting in a better offer including a higher price and more favorable terms for you as the seller.
Exterior
You always hear people talk about great curb appeal. This is very crucial however as this is the first impression your home makes for any interested party touring in person. Other than the online photos this is the best way to get off on the right foot with prospective buyers. Having an under maintained exterior will give a sour taste to a buyer during the touring once inside. They will be looking for items inside that need care instead of looking at the property and potential space.
- Make sure the lawn is cut and not outgrown
- Don’t have dead trees, bushes, weeds, etc.
- Don’t have gutters, siding, or window trim hanging
- Consider power washing the driveway, sidewalks, and siding for a clean look
Interior
Now that your buyer is inside you want them to focus on the space and visualize themselves inside. Below is a list of the top distractions for potential buyers. Not everything inside has to be perfect but maintaining these small items can make a huge difference when showing your home.
- Paint (You don’t want to have many marks, patches, or dirt on the walls or ceilings. Most paint can actually be washed with warm water and dish soap.)
- Clean bathrooms/kitchen
- Declutter (Better to have boxes/bins stacked than toys or personal items piled up in a corner.)
- Dust ceiling fans, blinds, pictures frames, etc.
- Clean windows to allow the best natural light. Most buyers tend to look out the windows during shows.
