To sell quickly, make a good impression!

When it's time to sell your property, you only have one chance to make a good impression.

The Exterior

How your property is perceived from the outside is very important. An attractive exterior encourages the buyer to visit the interior. Your front yard should be well-maintained, and in winter, keep photos handy to help the visitor visualize the yard’s appearance in summer. Cleanliness is essential: a clear entrance and clean windows will also make all the difference.

The Interior

Inside, the key is cleanliness. Do a thorough cleaning and get rid of unnecessary items. Remove old furniture that blocks walkways or clutters the rooms. Clear the space so that visitors don’t feel cramped.

Does the paint need a refresh? A freshly painted property often sells for a higher price. Also, keep in mind that dark colors don’t help with sales. Opt for light and bright tones instead. The condition of the carpets can also be a deciding factor. If replacing them isn’t an option, have them cleaned to give them a fresh look.

The kitchen and bathroom must be spotless. Take the time to clean appliances and fixtures, as well as the bathtub, toilet, and sink. Clear the countertops and don’t leave dishes in the sink or towels on the edge of the bathtub. Show the buyer all the storage possibilities.

Throughout the house, fix leaking faucets, broken handles, drawers, or cabinet doors that don’t close properly, etc. Replace burned-out light bulbs and yellowed electrical plates. Most of these small repairs are relatively inexpensive and will positively influence the buyer.

Create an Atmosphere

It is essential that your home is well-lit. Open the curtains during the day and turn on lamps in the evening. If needed, add lamps in dark corners. Ensure that the house is well-ventilated. Don’t overwhelm the buyer with strong odors, such as incense or spicy food smells.

During the buyer’s visit, be discreet and leave your broker alone with the client. It will be easier for them to highlight your home, and the client will feel freer to share their comments.
