Ten Mistakes Sellers Make When Preparing a House for Sale
1. Simply because you like it doesn't mean that everyone is going to. This is the biggest and most common mistake. It is important to ensure that your home appeals to the broadest buying public in blue world city, which means neutralize. If the colour scheme or the style of decoration is too far out, people may be put off at your "personality" of the home and it'll be difficult to imagine themselves and their own belongings inside the house.
2. Pantries and closets are full and cluttered. Remove each storage area that is cluttered with seasonal or unnecessary items to ensure that viewers can clearly see the space. Spaces that are stuffed with clutter can make viewers believe that there is too little storage space and that the house is bursting at the seams.
3. The furniture is too big or there are too many for the space. Edit, edit, edit. The areas around the room must to be seen by all, so eliminate excess or excessively large plants or gym equipment, as well as fans as well as tables and chairs. On one occasion, the home owner was looking to remove a big coffee table in the living area, and then showed how awesome this table was by folding it in half and making it into a dining table. So we asked him "What's for sale? The house or the table?" He swapped the table with a smaller table.
4. "Clean" means different things to different people. It might be common sense to some However, the best way to keep what you have invested in as your single most important investment is to keep a routine for cleaning. If you are putting your house going to be sold, it has to be clean and ready for showing throughout the day.
5. Your pet is yours to love, so everyone else will - right? Wrong. Some potential buyers are really anti-animal of all type, which means that any indication of pets will discourage them from showing any enthusiasm for the property. If you have pets, vacuum every day to keep hair in check, and then put them in a crate them or remove pets from the home while it is being advertised.
6. Protect flooring from damage, counter tops walls, flooring, or other permanent fixtures. It is a no-no. Reveal - never conceal - troublesome areas, and make certain to mention any issues or repairs required in the list price.
7. You should not worry about safety and security. There will be strangers coming into your house. Make sure you keep your personal safety and security in mind. Guns and knife block in the kitchen pose the risk of injury to anyone. Remove these items, together with valuable objects and jewelry, while the house is on the market.
8. Designate a space above grade as a storage space. Potential buyers want to know exactly how many bedrooms are available. And using the space above grade for storage will negatively impact their impression of the property. Use spaces in the basement for storage.
9. Remove fixtures that are worn or outdated so that your next homeowner can take over. The best way to increase the value of your home is to carry out regular upgrades. The simplest and cheapest changes include lighting fixtures faucets and taps doors and cabinet hardware, and drapery and windows.
10. It is imperative to place the home up for sale prior to it being able to be sold. Selling a property requires planning. Start by identifying the market and then make your home stand out from the rest that is currently available. Attention to details will impress potential buyers. And if the house will be "move in ready" then this means less work for them and likely a better deal for the seller.
