Make Them Do A Double Take- Curb appeal, curb appeal, curb appeal. 1st Impressions really matter so make sure the exterior of your home is looking good! A well-maintained and enticing home will influence a buyer's initial reaction and affect their willingness to jump in further. This potentially impacts the sale price and the time the property spends on the market, making it a win all around!
Show Your Home's Best Angle- 99% of home buyers now look at photos online before they even commit to looking at a house in person! Those high-quality photos can make a big difference in attracting them. They create a solid first impression by highlighting the property's best features while increasing online visibility and drawing greater interest from prospective purchasers.
Get Rid Of That Clutter- You've heard it before, but yes, when it comes to clutter in your home, less really is more. Clear out any and all of those unnecessary items and organize belongings to make the space look larger and more inviting. A clutter-free space reduces visual distractions and allows for a better presentation of the home's features, making it easier for viewers to imagine their own belongings there.
Make It Spick & Span- No one likes a dirty house and you definitely don't want that to be the first thing the buyer notices when they come in. A clean home enhances the presentation and appeal of the property, so definitely consider professional cleaning if needed. This also shows the buyer that the house is well maintained, which can lead to a quicker sale at a higher price.
Appeal to the Masses- You want your home to look like it could be anyone's home and neutralizing it is the most important step for that. The goal is to create a clean, neutral space that allows a wider range of buyers to imagine their own style and belongings in the home. So consider painting that bold statement wall a more neutral color or taking down family photo collages. A little bit goes a long way with this one!
Fix The Things- Now is not the time to continue avoiding that nagging list of home repairs that has been sitting around for years. You need to attend to any major issues and consider minor repairs or touch-ups to make your home move-in ready. Fix any structural issues, address plumbing or electrical problems, repair damaged fixtures, repaint where necessary and ensure all systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) are in good working order.
The Price is Right- Setting the right price for your home is crucial because it directly impacts buyer interest. Research the market and consider getting a professional appraisal. A well-priced home attracts more intrigue, potentially leading to multiple offers and a quicker, more successful sale.
Spread the Word- If buyers don't know it's available, they can't fall in love with your house! Marketing is where it's at. You have to utilize online listing, social media, and real estate agents to market your home effectively. Marketing allows you to reach out to more potential buyers and show the home in its best light.
Be Flexible- We all have busy schedules, but make your home available for showings as much as possible to accommodate potential buyers. This flexibility demonstrates a willingness to collaborate with your real estate agent to decrease the number of days on the market.
