Five Steps for Helping Your House to Sell Quickly!
- Prepare yourself to sell your house. Do your best to see the house, no longer as your home, but as a product to be marketed. This takes some work, especially if you have been in the home for a number of years and have many memories there, but it is necessary if you want to maximize your properties potential.
- Consider a professional house inspection. An inspection will most likely uncover any major defects before they can cause trouble with a potential buyer. It also is a signal to buyers that you are a responsible seller.
- Prepare the house. Stand back and look at your house as objectively as
possible. Would you buy this home? Ask friends and neighbours to do the same, asking them to be totally honest. Overlooking flaws could cost you money! Get them fixed before you put the house on the market.
- Do what is necessary to make your house stand out from the competition. Make certain that your house is fresh, clean, and well maintained.
- Remove most of the "imprint" that you have made on the house.
Having a few family pictures around is fine, too many personal pictures can put buyers off. Buyers must be able to envision themselves in the house.
Six Easy Steps For Showing Your Home! - Give all family members assigned jobs in advance that will go into action when a short-notice showing is scheduled. Everyone must know their duties and carry them out, so that you don't end up banging into one another trying to get everything done quickly.
- Open every window. All curtains and blinds should be positioned to let in maximum light. Buyers like a house to be "light and bright," so accommodate them! Turn on as many lights as possible.
- Make sure the house smells good. Baking, often recommended, may be overdoing it, but pet odours, smoke, or greasy cooking odours definitely will not work! Air the house just before the scheduled showing, but close the windows (unless it is a perfect day) before they arrive.
- Six very important words: no clutter, no clutter, no clutter!
- Make sure that everything is spotless. Pay particular attention to the bathrooms and the kitchen. In the bathrooms, towels should be fresh and clean, sinks and baths scrubbed, and the floor freshly cleaned. In the kitchen, make sure all dishes are put away and surfaces and sinks cleaned.
- Remove pets from the house, or at least, keep them outside.
