When selling your home, you not only want to receive fast offers, but you also want to receive high offers. Some things you can do to get the best offer possible on your home are to look at your home d¨¦cor, house appeal, cleanliness, and home maintenance.
Home d¨¦cor: Chances are you will be taking all of your belongings with you after the house is sold. However, your furnishing and d¨¦cor will still have an impact on what kind of offer you get for your home, if you get an offer at all. If your furniture is old and looks dirty or uncared for, your potential buyers will assume the house is in the same condition as the furniture. At the same time, no matter how beautiful your furniture looks, if it is crowded, or furnishings clash, or overwhelm, people will not be able to see past it. Your goal should be to make the room as neutral and classic as humanly possible. You can create the best d¨¦cor possible by removing excess and unusual furnishings. Throw away what you will no longer need in your next home, and put other items in storage. Do not pile the items in the garage because people will look and see the mess. In removing furnishings, you also need to remove personal items like pictures, awards, and any unusual items.
Exterior house appeal: The yard and exterior of the home is the first thing a potential homebuyer will see, and they will form their first impression before setting a foot into the home. Make sure you have a manicured lawn, remove excess weeds, and treat brown spots. The exterior of the house should have a good paint job, with no pealing paint, or dirt showing. Go the extra mile and plant a flower garden if one does not exist. Also, remove excess lawn ornaments, especially religious or quirky items.
Cleanliness: Your home has to be clean if you are to get a high offer on your home. The level of cleanliness cannot be based on your personal standards, but the standards of homebuyers. Therefore, you should hire a professional cleaning service to clean your home during the selling period. If there are on the walls that will not come clean, prime and paint over them. Likewise, if the carpet or other flooring is damaged, replace it. A few hundred dollars spent now, will give you an extra few thousand dollars in the end.
Make repairs: If home shoppers see that your home needs a repair, regardless of how minor the repair is, they will be suspicious that there are other problems. A stain on the ceiling will make them suspicious of a leak, a drippy faucet will give images of plumbing problems, and a broken porch rail will send them running away in fear of termites. Eliminate this possibility by hiring your own home inspector to point out all potential flaws in your home. If the buyer¡¯s inspector cannot find any flaws in the house and gives it a good seal of approval, they will see the house as more valuable and offer you more money. |
