5 ways to help increase your sale price
That won't break the bank!
There is a common saying that “There is no second chance for a first impression”. If you are considering selling a property, presentation is everything, but that does not have to equate to spending lots of money or undertaking significant renovations.
Below are our top 5 tips to get your property in shape before hitting the market that should help increase your sale price;
- Engage professional cleaners to ensure that the property is spotless from top to bottom. Regardless of how old a property is, it will make a world of difference to the buyer walking through and inspecting the property if it is clean.
- Painting the walls can be one of the most powerful ways to enhance the property’s value and visual first impressions. From the moment a buyer walks into the property, it gives an overall fresh feeling.
- Declutter the property and make sure it is not overly busy with furniture, decorations, ornaments, books, personal photos, and other items to create an illusion of spaciousness. You want the buyer to be able to picture their belongings in the property.
- Engage a professional to stage the property with furniture, decorations, and artwork to showcase the best presentation of the property. Staging helps attract a broad range of buyers and can generate a 10-fold return. Experts say that if it costs $4,000 to stage a property, you should be getting $40,000 in return.
- Don’t forget the outside curb appeal. Sometimes we can focus so much on the inside that we forget about the outside. Invest in landscaping, clear pathways, pressure clean the outside areas, weed the gardens, and even consider painting the front door.
