Presentation Is The Key To Sell Property Fast – Part 1 – The Outside
Moving Home is one of the most stressful periods of your life. The good news is that almost all of the stress and hassle can be removed from the Sales Process by a little preparation.. We’ve all heard the stories about baking bread and brewing coffee just before potential Home Purchasers arrive, but remember, you’ve got to get them out of their cars and over your doorstep before any of that can be of any benefit to you. So, the first thing you need to get right is the look of the Home from the street. By the time a potential Buyer has walked from his car to your front door, you need him to actually WANT to like the Home. This is the key to Sell Property Quickly.
First impressions have never mattered more. Flaky paintwork, dirty windows, messy hedges, tatty lawn, uneven paving stones etc., etc., could cost you a sale before you even get the pleasure to welcome potential Purchasers inside.
Before your viewings commence, in fact before you have the Home valued have a quick walk down your road and attempt to look at your Home as though it’s the first time you’ve looked at it and, above all, be critical.
Are all the windows & doors and their frames shining clean? If the paintwork is sound, a good wash is all you need. If the paintwork is cracked or flaking; resist the temptation to simply apply a quick lick of paint over a tatty surface. The results merely call out that you’ve done a substandard job & give a much worse impression than a little normal wear & fatigue. If you can’t or don’t have time to do the job yourself; you’ll find a competent Handyman in most neighbourhoods who’ll do the job for a very good price.
Take a look at your path or drive. Either pull up any weeds, or treat them with a proprietary path weed killer. If you have uneven paving stones, get them reset.
Get the front Garden tidied up. If it’s been left to overgrow, start cutting the turf regularly at least 2 or 3 weeks before you let a valuer see your Home. That way it will have regained some of its greenness. Consider applying a liquid garden feed using a garden sprayer. This only takes minutes, and gives a lush verdant effect in days.
Keep the pavement & roadside litter free for a couple of Homes either side of your Home. If there are weeds growing on the pavement, treat them at the same time as you treat the weeds on your driveway.
These kind of jobs are speedy and inexpensive to do, and make the world of difference in helping you to Sell Property Quickly. They put your potential Purchasers in a positive frame of mind before they step over your doorstep. That’s the key to Quick House Sales.
Even if you’re considering selling your Home to one of those Companies that buy houses, taking these steps will make sure you get the best possible valuation figure.
