More examples on How To Sell Your House Quick - general rules and guides on how to promote your home to look its best and appeal to all your potential buyers.
1. Kerb Appeal
All potential buyers will examine your property initially from the exterior. Whether that be actually travelling to the property, or loooking at it on a website. Buyers aren’t just looking at how nice it looks - they’re looking to see how well maintained the property is, and if there are any potential danger signs, for water damage, roof tiles falling off, cracks in the walls etc. It’s the first and most important picture people see of your home. If your exterior is looking a little tired, paintwork needing fixed or cracks in the walls, have them fixed before marketing your property.
Tidy the garden if you need to, and look for all those weeds you’ve been putting off for months. You can also plant some beautiful flowers, and put in some window boxes if you have the space. Bright colour will illuminate your property.
2. Keep Interiors Bright
Once you’ve managed to get potential buyers in through the door, you’ll need to impress them with the freshness and cleanliness of your home. Use light paint, neutrals etc to keep the property bright and appealing. The light colours makes the home look bigger. You can also touch up any scratches or scrapes that you can find. Your aim here is to create a blank space for the potential buyer, so they can imagine living here - you can also try and minimise the amount of personal pictures and items that you usually have around the home - and helps to avoid buyers feeling like they are invading your personal space.
3. Remove All Your Clutter
Apart from the obvious reasons - it will help people move around the property more easily - you should remove clutter as well from the property. It’s all more personal stuff that should be kept out of sight, clothes, books, dvds etc. These are all things that say ‘this is my home’, yours, not theirs. Keep all decorations minimal, and in good taste. The buyers may not like your personal taste, and this can have a heavy influence on your buyer’s decisions.
