It's All About First Impressions
First impressions are imperative when selling. How a buyer first sees your house can mean the difference between them entering the property or not. Spending a little time and a little money can earn you top dollar in the long run. Presentation is a critical factor in achieving the highest dollar. Some easy tips-
OUTSIDE
• Maximise the street appeal
• Always have a neat and tidy yard and gardens
• Wash down the exterior of the house, including decking
• Place a few plants around the entrance and add a mat for guests to wipe their feet
• Repair any obvious faults
INSIDE
• De-clutter the home
• Store away any excess items
• Ensure the inside is neat and tidy
• Have the carpets professionally cleaned if required
• Repair any obvious faults
ON INSPECTION DAYS
• Open the curtains and blinds
• Open some windows
• Any dark rooms should have the lights or a lamp turned on
• Have some light music playing in the background
• The smell of a pot of coffee can be enticing and friendly
• If the day is warm, put on the air conditioning or ceiling fans about half an hour before the inspection
• Take any pets off the property
• Don’t be there
• Lock away valuables
