Whether you’re a first-time seller or a seasoned pro, we have put together a simple practical guide to help you prepare your home for a sale this Spring. Remember, attracting the widest pool of potential buyers means presenting your property in the best possible light, to achieve the best possible outcome.
Declutter and Depersonalize | Start by decluttering and removing unused or excess furniture. Depersonalize your home by taking down personal items and photographs so that others can envision themselves in your home.
Deep Clean | A clean home is a welcoming one. When conducting a deep clean, pay close attention to forgotten bathroom and kitchen corners, cupboards, common surfaces, carpets and windows.
Repair and Refresh | A coat of paint will give your property a fresh look and neutral tones and colours help create a spacious ambiance. Address long-overlooked repairs such as leaky faucets, squeaky doors, and chipped paint.
Street Side Appeal | First impressions matter. Enhance your home’s curb appeal by trimming overgrown hedges and bushes, revitalizing flower beds, maintaining the lawn and pressure cleaning driveways and paths.
Enhance The Lifestyle | Outdoor spaces especially entertaining areas attract potential buyers as they look for indulgent spaces for their own family to enjoy. Ensure your pool is maintained and cleaned regularly. Refresh the plants within your garden removing any overgrown or dull plants. Ensure your lawn is mowed regularly. If your existing outdoor furniture looks tired, consider hiring outdoor lounges/chairs to help create a relaxing and inviting environment.
Staging and Styling | This can make the single best difference to how a buyer feels about your home and allow your home to shine in its best possible light. Removing furniture can improve flow and create a more spacious atmosphere, enhancing the appeal of each room.
Let There Be Light | Maximize natural light by opening windows, curtains, and blinds. Strategically place mirrors and lamps, as soft lighting will enhance the overall illumination and flow of your home.
Open Houses and Showings | Plan ahead for open houses, and be flexible for additional private viewings, keeping your home, clean, airy, well-lit, and clutter-free throughout the sales campaign. Scented candles and luxury cushions create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
