5 TIPS TO SELL YOUR HOME FASTER

1. PRICING

It is important that you market your property at the right price – and the best person to assist you will be a qualified estate agent. Most of them offer a free service called a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) for free and it is advisable to follow their expert opinion.

2. SMALL REPAIRS

Fix any small repairs like a leaking tap, missing door/cupboard handles and a stuck garage door. Small repairs can frighten potential buyers and it is worthwhile to create an impression that the maintenance of your property was of utmost importance to you.

3. DECLUTTER THE INTERIOR

Our family photographs and personal items may be of importance to us, but buyers are only interested to see the backdrop of the rooms. Declutter as much as possible so that the picture is pleasing and calm to the eye. A few pieces like new cushions or bed covers are advisable as it will remain longer in their minds that will count in your favour.

4. THE FIRST IMPRESSION

Buyers’ first impressions are imperative as they make up their minds within the first 30 seconds. A vase with flowers or pot-plant on a neatly staged table near the entrance or a good smelling pot of coffee for an enticing aroma are excellent ideas to add that homely feeling to a house.

5. KEY PIECES

The two most important rooms for the best impression to attract potential buyers’ attention are the kitchen and bathrooms. Special attention should be paid to them to ensure that they create a lasting impression.
