If you’ve decided to sell your home, no doubt you want to do it quickly and easily, leaving it in the hands of a happy new homeowner. To do this, it’s important to put the best features of your house in the foreground because there may be stiff competition in the market. Have a look at the five tips below which you can use to play up your home’s best features.
Work on The Landscape
Your curb and landscape are the very first impression that potential buyers will have of your home. Give them good expectations by making sure the landscape is neat and clean. If you have the space, add a home putting green project, the majority of which are between 600sq’ and 1,800sq with a sand-trap. Get a contractor to give you the price and time approximates so you can get it done well and in good enough time to put your house on the market soon.
Improve the Lighting
Good lighting will help you literally place your home in a good light. Potential buyers will have an easy time seeing all the features of your interiors at any time of day when you have good lighting. Make this one of your first renovations, therefore, and you will give shoppers a great experience as they look through your house. Make sure that it’s clean and well-organized as well, because good lighting will also show up any dirt and flaws.
Clean the Roof and Gutters
While you’re sprucing up the outdoors, work on your roof and the gutters. The roof provides shelter and needs to be strong enough to weather storms and withstand the summer heat, and home buyers need to see this at first glance. A dirty roof and gutters full of debris give the appearance of a roof that’s been neglected and is likely to cause issues over time. The number one factor that determines which new roof people will purchase was found to be durability, at 88%. This was followed by longevity at 83%, according to a recent consumer survey. People looking to buy a new home will often follow similar purchase patterns since they are, essentially, paying for the roof along with the house.
Set The Right Temperature
If it’s cold outside, make it warm indoors and vice versa if it’s hot outside. This will give people looking at your home a great impression of the temperature they can expect to experience if they make your house their new home. When they can envision themselves living in your house more easily, they will be more likely to make a purchase faster, which is what you’re aiming for when selling your home.
Make Sure It’s Always “Show-Ready”
While it may feel like extra work, making your home always ready for viewing will help you get more views and increase your chances of making a sale. Work with people who stage homes to help you make your home look good at all times, and try your best to be as accommodating as possible. Adjust your schedule accordingly to make it possible to attend to people who would like to see your home even at unofficial hours. You never know if they will end up purchasing it, and this may be the only time they’re available to view. Clean it and even use mild scents to make it more homely, as up to 50% of American consumers say they use home fragrances to help them relax.
Make your home-selling experience easy and impressive for all parties concerned, and you will find that it’s easy and hassle-free to sell your home!
