People looking to sell up and move somewhere else often discover that the most stressful part of the entire process is not the move itself but the act of trying to sell their current property. First impressions are vital in the current competitive housing market, which is why it is very important to know about the things that can make all the difference when it comes to selling your house quickly and getting on with your own relocation.
The first thing you can do is to declutter your home. This means getting rid of everything that is cluttering up your home and thoroughly cleaning every room in the house to show that the property has been well taken care of. One clever tip is to bake something – cakes, perhaps – before an inspection, as the smell and lingering warmth will engender a homely feeling for any visitors.
One of the most effective methods for revitalizing a home is to slap a fresh coat of paint or two on the walls. If you do decide to do this then you should stick to neutral colors, as this tends to make the property look more spacious as well as brighter.
Another good tip is to try to depersonalize the property as much as possible. You are trying to get a potential purchaser to be able to imagine making a move and living in your house, so removing children’s toys and family photographs is a good way to depersonalize. Pets should also be removed from the home during an inspection.
