Preparing a home for sale is crucial to attract potential buyers and get the best possible price. Here are some tips we find useful to get the most out of your home:
1. Deep cleaning:
- Perform a thorough cleaning in all areas of the house, including windows, blinds, carpets and appliances.
-Take care of the smell in all the rooms, it is one of the first sensations when entering a home.
2. Repairs and maintenance:
- Repair any visible damage, such as cracks in walls, broken tiles, or leaky faucets.
- Make sure all appliances are in good working order.
3. Painting:
- Apply a fresh coat of paint to areas that need it. Neutral colors are often more appealing to a wider audience.
4. Improve lighting:
- Make sure all light bulbs are working and provide adequate lighting in each room. Well-lit spaces feel more welcoming.
5. Depersonalization:
- Keep family photos and personal items so potential buyers can imagine themselves living there.
6. Organization:
- Organize storage spaces, such as closets and cabinets. Buyers often open these spaces to assess storage capacity.
7. Create curb appeal:
- Improve curb appeal with landscaping, keeping the grass short, planting flowers and making sure the entryway is welcoming.
8. Minor improvements:
- Consider making small improvements that can increase the perceived value of the property, such as changing faucets, door knobs, etc.
9. Competitive price:
- Research the market to establish a competitive price. A suitable price can attract more buyers.
10. Professional advice:
- Consider hiring a real estate agent for professional advice on staging, pricing and negotiating the home.
11. Documentation in order:
- All the necessary documents for the sale are ready and in order. This includes the ownership documents, utility and supply bills, as well as the Certificate of Habitability, the Energy Certificate and the result of the ITE if it has been passed.
Remember that first impressions are crucial, and a well-presented home can make buyers more inclined to make a positive decision in a shorter period of time.
