2. TAKE THE HOME OUT OF YOUR HOUSE
Clear the home as much as possible to create the feeling of space. Removal of unused furniture and personal belongings can make a huge impact, allowing potential buyers to see themselves in the home.
3. ADD MASSIVE VALUE WITH SMALL COSMETIC CHANGES
A fresh lick of paint in neutral colours is the most cost-effective change you can make. It will lift and freshen with a minimum toll on time and budget. Floor coverings need to be clean and clear, replace worn carpets or use quality rugs to add warmth.
4. CREATE MORE STORAGE
One of the biggest issues that potential buyers bring up is—lack of storage. Create as much storage as possible...shelving, cupboards, store things—converting spare space into usable storage is paramount.
5. TARGET MARKETING
Professional photography and descriptive texts are paramount to unveil what can't be seen from the street. Ensure your marketing is targeted appropriately to negate the need to spend thousands of dollars unnecessarily on incorrect marketing and advertising.
6. IMPRESSIVE OPEN HOMES
It's your first opportunity to impress. Take the time to clean up, clear things out and let the light in. Light a candle or two, open the windows, make the beds, hang fresh towels and make sure the yard is free from droppings from your furry family members.
7. CORRECT PRICING
Make sure your agent gets it right! The right price will ensure success. Too high and you miss the valuable initial peak selling period. Too low will create too big a gap to bridge once the negotiations get underway.
8. PRESENTATION AND STYLING
Getting the advice of a professional to maximise the design impact of your home can mean the difference of thousands of dollars of profit. Whether it’s rearranging your own furniture or hiring pieces—the result of your profit can be extraordinary. See my Presenting and styling video for more on this.
9. CONCEAL THE CRITTERS
While your furry family members are loved and adored by you, potential buyers may not feel the same. It’s best to take them for a walk while any inspections are taking place.
10. LET THERE BE LIGHT
Clean all windows and window furnishings. Make sure the lights work—replace globes and clean or replace light fittings. A light-filled home gives a feeling of openness and joy. It is emotionally uplifting and can have a positive impact on the mood of the inspection.
