Preparing for sale

First impressions matter, and the exterior of your house sets the tone for what buyers can expect inside. Enhance your home’s curb appeal by:

– Landscaping: Keep the lawn well-maintained, add some colourful plants or flowers, and trim overgrown bushes or trees.

– Exterior Maintenance: Ensure that the paint is fresh, the roof is in good condition, and the house numbers are visible and attractive.

– Front Door: Consider repainting the front door with a welcoming colour, and ensure the hardware is clean and polished.

Buyers need to envision themselves living in your home, so minimise distractions by decluttering and depersonalising your space:

– Remove Clutter: Clear countertops, organise closets, and remove unnecessary furniture to make rooms appear more spacious.

– Neutralise Decor: Depersonalise by removing family photos, religious items, and bold decor choices. Opt for neutral colours and tasteful decorations.

Styling your home can make a significant difference in how buyers perceive the space. Here are some tips:

– Highlight Key Features: Arrange furniture to showcase the best features of each room, such as a fireplace or large window.

– Create a Welcoming Atmosphere: Set the dining table, place fresh flowers in vases, and use soft furnishings to create a welcoming ambiance.
