Selling your house can be a stressful time, there are several key tips you can do to help maximise your chances of selling successfully.
Invest some time and effort in enhancing the exterior of your home – ensure the lawn is mowed, garden maintained and the front of the house is clean and tidy.
Address and fix any obvious maintenance issues before listing your home. Repair any broken windows, cracked tiles, or leaky taps! A well-looked-after home will give the buyer confidence.
Be sure to showcase your home’s best features. For example, arrange furniture in a way that maximises space and lets plenty of light in. You could even hire a professional home stager.
Remove excess clutter and personal items – buyers want to be able to envision them living in the house. Keep the décor neutral, organised, clean, and welcoming.
Overpricing can put buyers off, while underpricing may result in lost revenue. It’s important to set a realistic and competitive price for your home based on its condition, location, and market trends. Consult an estate agent for guidance.
Make sure you use different channels to market your home. Include online listings, professional photography, virtual tours, and social media platforms as this will gain a larger reach and wider audience. Ask your Estate Agent about their marketing approach.
Identify and emphasise the unique features and benefits of your home. Showcase any recent renovations, energy-efficient upgrades or desirable amenities.
Try to accommodate potential buyers’ schedules by being flexible with times – the more accessible your home is for viewings, the higher the chances of attracting serious buyers.
Answer enquiries quickly, or any communication related to the sale – this shows commitment and professionalism.
Be prepared for offers or counteroffers. Work closely with your Estate Agent to evaluate each offer and consider various factor beyond the sale price.
Selling a house can take time, so be patient and remain proactive and responsive throughout the whole process.
