You are guaranteed to sell your house faster and for more
money if you avoid these common mistakes. To begin you will need a thorough
house cleaning, open mind and home improvements
1.
De- Clutter your home
Stuffed closets, extra furniture, exercise equipment, etc make
homes seems smaller than they are. I know it can be emotional and exhausting.
But, it’s a must for making your house look like an attractive buy. Follow the
six month rule – get rid of anything and everything that you haven’t used in
six months. Look at the bright side; you can sell it for extra cash.
2.
De-personalize your home
This means to take down family pictures, knick knacks, hide all
evidence that you own pets. This will allow the buyer to imagine themselves in the
home. You also get a head start at packing your things.
3.
Deep clean
You may want to do a deep cleaning of the house especially the
kitchen. Did you know the kitchen is the room most likely to attract or repel a
buyer? So make sure it’s at 100%. You going to want to make sure you invest a
little in repainting the walls and repairing the damages of the house. It’s cheaper
to get them fixed now as oppose to the buyer using the damages as a negotiation
points. Make sure that your house is well lighted. Get rid of heavy drapery,
take down wall paper and put in high watt lightening.
4.
Work on curb appeal – Does your house stand out?
Go outside of your house, does it catch the eye? Make sure
the grass is green and cut nicely, plant some flowers and colorful gardening adornments.
Consider a flowering tree or sitting area. And don’t forget about the back yard!
5.
Now your move in ready – just make sure your Realtor can get in!!
Make sure the realtor is bringing in pre-qualified buys.
Make sure your pets are gone and your family is out of the way. Don’t stalk
your potential buyers. Everyone hates the annoying salesperson. Consider
leaving yourself. Buyers feel freer to express themselves and ask questions.
6.
Don’t be turned off by low ball offers
Look at them as interest points and a door to negotiate.
Buyers are trying to get a good deal but would pay for a home they really love.
