How To prepare Your House For Sale
Posted: Apr 03, 2014
Selling a property is not as easy as it seems, especially in a slumping real estate market, when a person can generally sell his house quickly by lowering the price. But other ways can also be adopted to enhance the attractiveness of the property. With some careful planning, you can spruce up your house to bag the best deal. This write-up gives you some tips on how to lure buyers and get the best price possible.
Find Your Papers
Before leaving the house, locate all the important papers like electricity bills, operating manuals, applicable warranties for appliances, etc. Such arrangements are important to entice potential buyers.
De-personalize
Pack all the personal photographs or family heirlooms. You don’t want to distract the buyers with personal artifacts. Make your house neutral and benign so that anyone could imagine living there.
De-clutter
Donate or throw away the bulk quantity of junk you haven’t used in over a year. Remove books from the book cases, clean off everything from the kitchen counters and pack up the junk before leaving the house. Stash away extra boxes, exercise equipment, books, and small appliances in preparation for showing your home.
Rearrange Bedroom And Kitchen Cabinets
Rearrange the closets in the bedroom and cupboards in the kitchens to send the right message to the buyers. An organized house will give the impression that the rest of the house has also been maintained nicely.
Remove Favorite Items
If you want to take window coverings, chandeliers or built-in fixtures with you, then remove them before showing off your house. If a buyer doesn’t see it, he won’t want it. You can blow your deal if you tell a buyer he can’t have something.
Make Minor Repairs
It is important to make minor repairs before listing your house for selling. Fix jammed doors and leaky faucets. Replace cracked tiles and patch holes in the walls.
Clean The House
Clean your house inside out by clearing the cobwebs, polishing mirrors, replacing worn rugs and re-caulking showers and sinks. Also, dust the furniture, ceiling fans and fixtures. Sparkling house will leave a great impression on the buyer.
Detail The Landscaping
Mowing the lawn, removing dead branches from the trees and trimming the bushes will give your home a great impact. Regular maintenance will make your house irresistible and marketable.
