how can we improve our success when selling?
- there are a number of factors that always need to be attended to in maximizing the outcome of your property.
- ensure your property is spotlessly clean (buyers have no problem buying a home that needs work if it is as clean and neat as a new pin…and priced right!)
- fix any niggling jobs around your home. ie: windows that don’t open properly, doors that jam, dripping taps, chipped paintwork, sliding doors that stick, loose handles and so on.
- clean and tidy and mulch the garden and make sure any weeds, garden rubbish and overhanging trees etc are trimmed.
- ensure that your window coverings are clean and open and close smoothly on runners.
- sweep paths and gutters, around the front fence on the pavement.
- if your garden has suffered badly from the drought, buy some seedlings and plant them in pots around your front and rear doors so you can still have color without overusing water.
- never underestimate the value of a professional home presenter. we endeavour to have lisa our “clutter counseller” to visit all of our clients homes prior to going on the market to ensure that nothing is left to chance and that your property is absolutely ready for sale.
- finally, I know that a lot of these factors are written about constantly, but when I attend open for inspections in general it is amazing how many of the above jobs are left unattended!
