It Is Spring Time And Buyers Are Out Looking
TEN THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR A QUICK & CHEAP MAKEOVER
1. Clear away your clutter, spring clean, and make sure you give everything a thorough wash down, especially the windows, to let in as much light as possible, and wipe away cobwebs to make the property look cared for.
2. Clean, patch or paint any wall dents, holes, or marks.
3. Replace any blown light bulbs, fix dripping taps, and repair broken or faulty appliances, fixtures, and fittings.
4. Remove most of your personal items and photographs from view, as buyers want to imagine themselves living in the home.
5. Unless the bedrooms are tiny, always have a double, queen, or king sized bed in place. If a single bed is in the room, buyers may assume a bigger bed won't fit.
6. Put your best sheets, starched, and ironed, on the beds.
7. Borrow or rent modern and neutral furniture to give the property a new look. Family, friends, or storage companies can be used to store any unnecessary furniture and personal items.
8. When you have a potential buyer to inspect the property, turn on the air-conditioner/s and lights, open the curtains/blinds, play soothing music, bake a cake prior, or use a pleasant air freshener or burn oils to create a welcoming ambience.
9. During inspection times, ensure that pets are not present, and clear away any evidence that you have an animal, such as dirty food bowls or litter trays.
10. Buy fresh flowers for the home.
