Sellers Tips
Standing out in a crowd….first impressions count.When it comes to real estate, the heart and the head are working together. A well presented home will not only stand out from the crowd and encourage more inspections, it can ensure a higher sale price. On the other hand, a home that looks shabby and neglected may turn prospective buyers away even before they've had an inspection.
Presenting your home for sale so that it does stand out is not difficult but there are a few basic thoughts to bear in mind.
Sensible enhancements such as washing down walls, cleaning and painting window frames where necessary, fixing up broken fences and gates and carrying out any essential plumbing repairs are strongly recommended.
Put yourself in the position of a potential buyer and go through the property starting at the front with your agent, itemising the most cost-effective enhancements to make. At Elders, we have negotiated arrangements with interior designers, property stylists, landscape gardeners and trades people to help make these changes easily.
