TIPS
ON SELLING YOUR HOME
|
|
|
|
|
| |
First
impressions
You know what they say about first impressions... so, tidy your
front garden - mow the lawn, dig the weeds and trim your borders.
Next, clean the front door and if needed give it a lick of paint.
............................................................
|
|
Spring
clean
There's little more uninviting than a grubby home. Get out the
mop and bucket, roll up your sleeves and remember to pay special
attention to the kitchen and bathroom.
............................................................
|
|
|
| |
A
lick of paint
Brightly painted walls might suit your style, but for newcomers,
they can detract from the attractive features in your room.
For wider appeal, it's a good idea to paint the walls in light,
neutral or pastel colours.
............................................................ |
|
The
perfect ambience
Clean your windows inside and out so your home catches as much
light as possible. For evening visits, use small lamps or sidelights
for soft, warm lighting. Even better, if you have a log fire,
make sure it's lit for the perfect homely touch
............................................................ |
|
|
| |
Dump
the junk
Go from room-to-room and clear out any clutter. Nothing makes
a home look smaller than piles of washing, toys and magazines
all over the floor. What's more, you're planning to move soon,
so it's worth throwing out all your junk. Be ruthless. If it's
not necessary, it should be history.
............................................................
|
|
Fix
'n' match
Check your home to see if you need to repair or renew anything.
Broken doorbells, shelves, and half-finished tiling can leave
visitors less than impressed. In fact, why not consider replacing
a tired old carpet? It might seem expensive, but it can work
wonders for your home.
............................................................
|
|
|
| |
Hall
of mirrors
If you have a dark hallway, hang a good-sized mirror at eye
level to make it seem more spacious and increase the levels
of light in the room.
............................................................
|
|
Make
room
Try to show every room in the way it's intended. Clear the toys
from the living room, remove shoes from the kitchen and take
out the washing from the hallway.
............................................................
|
|
|
| |
Pets
and Smells
All pets have an aroma. And while you're probably used to your
own pet's smell, others won't be. Before a visit, banish any
odours from your home and ask a friend to look after your pets
while you're showing potential buyers around.
............................................................
|
|
Kids
Make sure your children will let visitors look around your property
without distracting them, or you! It might be a good idea to
arrange child care so that you have a good opportunity of chatting
with your visitors.

During
the Viewing
If you are at home while people are viewing your property,
you have an opportunity to find out what’s important
to them. Listen for clues and, where possible, tell them about
the features of your home and the neighbourhood that you think
would appeal to them.
Once you have told them everything you think is useful, let
them look round the property again on their own so that they
can gather their own thoughts and impressions.
Receiving
an Offer
You may be lucky and get an offer for your full asking price.
But many people offer a lower price to start with. They may
do this because their mortgage lender may not allow them to borrow enough
money; they may feel that the property is not worth the asking
price or they want to test your reaction. It’s important
to remember that you don’t have to take the first offer
you get. In fact, you may be unable to accept a lower offer
because you need the full asking price in order to buy your
next home. We will talk the situation over with you.
