Here are 10 simple ways to make sure you get the best price:
1. Trim your lawns and gardens. This will be the prospective buyer's first impression of your place. Make it a good one. You don't have to try for any 'tidy towns' prizes - just keep the grounds looking reasonable and neat.
2. Shampoo the carpets. You may be surprised at how much more "life" they have after an extra good cleaning. And the brighter everything looks, the better your chances are of selling.
3. A once-over for the walls. Grubby little hand marks may be a fact of life, but they're some of the worst offenders in taking the edge off an otherwise attractive home. Wash and scrub the walls if necessary or even consider painting those that look that worst. .
4. Check the guttering. It's an easy point for buyers to spot, so this is one to watch out for. Make sure there are no leaves hanging over, there's no peeling paint or water staining. And while you're at it, give under the eaves an extra good brushing for cobwebs.
5. Clean out the garage and shed. These are the places where you've thrown everything you didn't know what to do with over the years. You may be used to the mess, however a prospective buyer may find it off-putting. Since you'll be moving anyway, it makes sense to have a clean out now. Good storage space is always an important selling point, so ensuring it is neat and tidy is well worth the effort.
6. The Kids rooms. Everybody understands that kids are messy. So maybe this is one area where you can be a little more relaxed. Just make sure there are not toys scattered around the floor.
7. Open up the windows. The brighter a room is, the bigger it looks. So always leave drapes and curtains open. Clean the windows and insect screens to let more light in.
8. The kitchen and laundry. Now is the time to be even more fussy than you normally are in these two very important areas. It is no exaggeration to say that the kitchen and laundry can make or break a sale. Clean the oven, polish the sink, give your cupboards and pantry a spring clean.
9. Flowers to set the scene. You'd put out flowers for visitors, well a prospective buyer is a very important visitor. Make a point of having a few well-stocked vases strategically placed to highlight the features of your home's living areas.
10. The Ray White Sign. We'll advise you on the best location for maximum effect. You can help by making sure you keep it clear of foliage and shrubs. After all, the buyer for your home could drive by at any time.
These are just a few little things that can help to sell your home.
