Common Sense Tips For Selling Your Home

Thinking of selling your home? Here are 10 tips to help you sell your home fast, for the most money, with the least hassle.

Tip 1: You can only make a first impression once!

You never have a second chance to make a first impression. Potential home buyers have already started to judge your home the second they pull up outside. Make sure your exterior is in pristine condition and that the entryway is warm and welcoming. When you are selling your home, make the first impression count. You can only make it once!

Tip 2: Always accept showing appointments.

People will want to come and see your home at all sort of inconvenient times for you. Everybody has a different schedule. You have to accommodate the buyers. Make contingency plans with friends & family for child or pet watching. Keep the house as clean as possible. Restrict kids to playing in one room for example where all the toys can be easily put away. Getting as many people inside your home is the key to selling it.

Tip 3: Kitchen is #1.

Kitchens sell homes. A beautifully renovated kitchen will draw attention away from any other downsides the home may have ( within reason obviously). If you want to update your kitchen on a budget consider new countertops, painting cupboards, upgrading fixtures and fittings, backsplash, perhaps new appliances.

Tip 4: Turn your family home into a model home.

The more of your personal possessions buyers look at, the less time they spend picturing themselves living there. You need to de-personalise.

Tip 5: What Pets???

I’m sure your pets are lovely. However, they are your pets. I’m sorry to tell you buyers don’t want to be bothered by them. Hide the food bowls, pillows, and toys. If you have cat and a litter tray, seriously consider relocating the cat while the home is for sale.

Here is the most important tip yet if you are considering selling your home:

Hide. The. Bondage. Equipment.
