Selling a home can be a tough process but if you are selling your home there are several secrets and tricks of the trade that can help you sell quicker and at more of a premium selling price. Typically every home selling experience will be different but if you try these secrets of home selling you are sure to a successful sale that leaves you completely satisfied.
1.) Staging Half Empty Closets: Storage is very important to probably all potential buyers and it seems to be something that they just can’t get enough of. The key is clearing out half of all the stuff in each of your closets and then neatly arranging and organizing the rest. This is a wonderful way to make your storage options seem more spacious to potential buyers with out really having to do or spend anything.
2.) Optimize Your Lighting: Lighting is also very important and you need to try and maximize the light in your home. Be sure to pull back the drapes and clean all the windows to bring in as much natural light as possible. Also a few strategically placed mirrors can really help brighten up any area and make it more appealing. Plus a brighter home is a friendlier and more inviting home and thus a more sellable home.
3.) Take The “You” Out Of Your Home: It is imperative that you take the “you” out of your home and completely depersonalize it. You want potential buyers to be able to see the property as their potential home and not your current one. The more personal items you have in your home and the more personalized your home is for you the less potential buyers will be able to do so and less appealing your home will be to them.
4.) Always Be Prepared To Show Your Home: Once you have cleaned and staged your home for sale it is very important to keep it that way. You need to be ready to show your home any time a potential buyer wants to look at it. It may be a bit of an inconvenience but you never know when the perfect buyer will want to view your home and you always want to be ready for them. Be sure clean dishes and put away things when you are done using them and consider housing one trashcan that you use in the garage and keeping the rest clean.
5.) The First Impression Is Very Important: The first impression of your home is extremely important and no matter how nice your home is on the inside without a good one your home will be a hard sale. Be sure to give your curb appeal some attention to maximize your homes first impression to potential buyers. Experts say on average you can expect to get 100 percent of any money you put into your curb appeal back when you go to sell your home.
