Autumn is a perfect time to sell your property so here are some tips to help…
Kerb appeal matters
We all know that first impressions count. Many potential buyers will do a ‘drive-by’ of your property in the lead up to an open for inspection or before they call the agent to make an appointment to view your property privately. Freshly mown lawns, neat and tidy gardens and a good looking letterbox, front door or entry gate all help score brownie points with potential buyers.
Make the most of storage space
The majority of buyers love to take a good look at the storage in your home, this means they will be opening cupboards and wardrobes!!! This is your opportunity to make a great impression for zero cost. Clear and declutter your storage spaces so they are no more than two thirds full. This strategy looks good and gives buyers a better sense of the space available.
A bathroom that sparkles
Buyers will forgive an older bathroom as long as it’s clean and in good condition. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and remove any and all traces of soap scum, mould, mildew, dust and dirt build up. Some of the fixes you can work on to sparkle up your bathroom include scrubbing the walls and floors, applying new silicone where needed and using a grout pen to revive the lines between your tiles.
Show off the best parts!
Talk to your agent about what you love most about the house and work with them to showcase these features to your potential buyers. This could be as simple as letting all that natural northern light flood in by opening all the blinds, or scheduling your opens later in the afternoon so buyers can see the beautiful sunsets captured in your alfresco area.
