ADVICE TO
PEOPLE BUYING
AND SELLING
Selling your property quickly and gaining the best possible price
has got to be a priority for any prospective seller and there are
a few simple steps which you can take to improve your chances
greatly.
First impressions are very important, your prospective
purchaser will form an opinion within thirty seconds of drawing
up outside your property. So make sure your garden is kept
tidy, a well kept garden usually looks larger and needing less
maintenance than an untidy one.
A fresh coat of paint can work wonders to improve the
appearance of your front door and window sills. Make sure
the interior of your home is free of clutter. Consider short term
storage options to allow your rooms to show off their true size
and allow potential buyers a clearer picture of how a room
could look to them.
The smell of flowers can make a room feel more welcoming as
can a warm home in Winter and open windows in the Summer.
If you are showing people around your home try to be as helpful
as possible and answer all their questions truthfully. If you have
a dog or cat try to keep them isolated when people visit as not
everyone likes animals.
There are very few purchasers who buy the home of their
dreams and do not want to change anything. Try not to be
offended when viewers talk about the changes they want to
make, we all have different taste, style and needs.
The best way to view a property is to use the viewing record
page in this guide. List all the positive and negative points of the
property and your feelings about it.
The businesses in this guide are there to help you before, during
and after your move. Think on, see the future, not the present.
