Seller Tips [ 1 2 ] |
Once you have the true Market value of your home, there are a few important steps to take before you have potential buyers viewing your house: -- Since a homebuyer’s first impression of the house is based on his or her view of the house from the real estate agent’s car. It would be a good idea to take a walk across the street and take a good look at your house. What needs the most attention? Walk down your block and look at other houses, how does yours compare. How does the entry way of your home look? If your door mat is ragged buy a new one. Make sure the door itself is clean and has no peeling paint. Does the lock on the front door work properly or is it difficult to open. The first impression is the most important. -- Staging the interior is just as important as “curb appeal “of your home. Making your home anonymous is important because you want buyers to view the house as their potential home. When a potential homebuyer sees your family photos hanging on the wall, it puts your own brand on the home and momentarily shatters their illusions about living in the house themselves. Put away family photos, sports trophies, collectible items, knick-knacks, and souvenirs.. -- With the kitchen being the most important room of the house it is a good place to start removing clutter. First, take everything off the counters. Find a place where you can store everything in cabinets and drawers. Of course, you may notice that you do not have cabinet space to put everything. Clean them out. The dishes, pots and pans that rarely get used? Put them in a box and put that box in storage. Homebuyers will open all your cabinets and drawers. Buyers want plenty of storage space and the best way to show that is by having as much empty space as possible. Clean out the pantry and below the sink, removing extra cleaning supplies. Make sure there are no leaks under any of the sinks, since this may make homebuyers wary of buying your home.
