Preparing Your Home for a Successful Sale: Here Is A Start To The Step-by-Step Guide

Repairs

START BY making any repairs to your home that are required.

In doing so, potential home buyers are not turned off by having to do work to their new home. Compile a list and start from top to bottom, i.e.:, broken kitchen doors, ripped carpets, faulty air conditioning units, etc.

Ensure you clean off any scratch marks from the walls, doors, cabinets, cupboards, and trims. Remove all nails in walls, patch, and touch up with paint.

Remove any decals and signs off walls or furniture. Use an enzymatic cleaner to remove pet soil/stains in carpets, rugs, and furniture.

Updates

THE NEWER the home seems, the more appealing it will be to buyers.

Minor updates may make the difference between your home sitting on the market and getting quick offers.

Your home’s style should appeal to the most buyers possible, and most buyers desire a neutral colour palette and updated finishes. If they notice excessive work they will need to do to the home, they will prioritise other properties that are more turnkey. If possible and not already done, paint interior walls a neutral colour that is cohesive throughout the house.

Finish those DIY projects that you started and abandoned somewhere along the way. Invest in any minor home renovations to kitchens and bathrooms which historically achieve the highest Return on Investment (ROI) allowing you to get a higher asking price for your home.

Maintenance

TAKE TIME to perform regular maintenance on your home.

Doing this will make the space cohesive and free from extra distractions for the new homeowner’s required maintenance.

Replace all burnt-out or missing lightbulbs and ensure all main fixtures have matching bulbs (i.e.: all should either be a cool or warm tone so that they are not mismatched).

Ensure that light switch covers match.

In darker rooms lacking in natural light, install higher-wattage incandescent light bulbs to brighten and add more light.

Ensure there are no odd or off-putting aromas in the home.

Declutter

THERE ARE TWO major problems with clutter

Read More
One is that it distracts buyers from your home’s features. The other is that it makes it seem like the home has less space. Keep clutter distractions to a minimum by organising all storage spaces buyers may look in. If your home looks organised and clean, it will also seem larger. An overstuffed closet tells buyers there is not enough storage space in the house. Declutter, clean, and organise closets, the garage, pantries, as well as storage rooms and areas so that they are only 20%-25% capacity (the floors, walls and ceilings should be visible inside). Clothing closets can stay at 50% capacity (the rule of thumb is that you should be able to see parts of the walls).
