Selling Your House: Top Tips for a Quick Sale

Selling Your House: Top Tips for a Quick Sale FOR SALE The Price is Right Tip # 1 Make sure that your home is valued correctly from the very beginning. Most sellers want to advertise their home at the high end of the price estimate. This is a good idea if you're looking to make the most money possible; yet this could also make for a slow sale. You will get the most (and the best) buzz around your home in the first 30 days, so make sure it sells in that time by not making the price too high. Buyers and estate agents might think you're not willing to negotiate otherwise. HOUSE FOR SALE SSSS Curb Appeal Tip #2 It takes the average person a mere 7 seconds to form an opinion. Needless to say, first impressions really do count. That means that the exterior of your home needs to be looking tip top for when potential buyers come for their viewings. The first step is to clean, tidy and de-clutter your front garden and path. Add a lick of paint to the walls, windows and doors if need be. Then add finishing touches such as flowers or a pretty house sign. Setting the Stage Tip #3 You have been living in that house or flat for a long time and you've made it your own. This will be the first thing that puts off potential buyers as they need to envision themselves living there and not you. Firstly, you'll need to de-personalise the space by removing photographs, bric- a-brac, posters etc and make your home look like a blank canvas. Then stage each reoom to fit its purpose. For example, the office you've been using as storage needs to look like an office. Making it Easy Tip #4 It's no good making the house suitable for a viewing if you're not available. Take viewings early in the morning, late in the evening or whenever it is that the prospective buyers would like to visit. Get as many people to see the house as possible by being super flexible. Because the more people that see the house, the more likely it is that someone will snap it up. Plus, you may want to pop out while they're viewing it so that they feel at ease, and able to discuss their opinions freely. Preparing your home for viewers, or “staging" as it's called, is important. It will not only ensure your property is sold faster, but can potentially add thousands of pounds to its value.
