Preparing your house for sale is one of the simplest but most important things you can do to optimise your return on investment. When preparing to sell a house, there are a few key considerations.
First up on our home seller tips, you should clean out the house for sale to make it seem more spacious. Appearances are everything when it comes to selling a home. This includes cleaning, from cupboards, cabinets, and curtains to carpets, walls, and ceilings and removing clutter and any personal items. This is also where ListReady can help you get ready by using the funds to cover staging and styling each room in your home for maximum appeal to prospective buyers. From the living room to the laundry, you want people to imagine themselves living in it.
Another note in our house selling tips is a fresh coat of paint will help rejuvenate your house and help highlight natural light while dimly lit areas can benefit from lamps.
If you can’t renovate a whole space, like bathrooms or the kitchen, before auction or inspection days, consider replacing just the fixtures and fittings. A little fix can go a long way, like if you need to replace a door or lights, so remember to check them all.
Give some love to your exterior. It’s the first thing buyers will see and your opportunity to make a good first impression. Make sure the lawn is mowed, hedges are pruned, and weeds are controlled in your garden to increase appeal, but no need to overdo the house prep for sale.
