common sense advice, but it works
time and time again. It's all
about making your home the most
desirable it can be, and removing
any barriers that will stop buyers
making an offer quickly."

The expert
tips are: |
|
|
| |
5.
Price your home to sell: In the
good times there are plenty of
buyers in the market and lenders
are offering competitive rates.
But these aren't the good times,
thanks to recent rate increases.
So do your research. Find out
what the houses in your area are
selling for and what they have
sold for in the past. And get
several estate agents' opinions.
|
|
|
| |
4.
Don't force your bad taste on
others: There's a reason TV property
shows tell you to neutralise the
colours. Assume that prospective
buyers have no imagination and
can't see beyond the garish colours.
Help them project their own colour
schemes by only using light colours
like cream, beige, magnolia and
white on walls and ceilings. |
|
|
| |
3.
Lose the junk: Don't treat the
viewing like an assault course.
buyers don't want to step over
old newspapers and slip over dog
droppings! Clear away anything
that detracts from the viewing.
You need to give each of the rooms
the feeling of spacious living.
Remove any over sized furniture
that make the rooms feel claustrophobic. |
|
|
| |
2.
Fix your house: Leaking
toilets and loose tiles give an
impression the house is a high
maintenance nightmare. Fix them.
If you don't have the time, get
a handyman to do it. You will
lose more value on the house than
the cost of fixing the problems. |
|
|
| |
1. Be ready to
move in a short time: Have all
your plans in place. Get quotes
from removal companies and short
term storage sites. Be prepared
to rent a home for a short term
so that you are not caught in
a chain. |
