Preparing your property for sale! Simple steps that will get you more $$$
So you’ve decided to sell your property! Great. Now……to get the best price! You need to consider a “Home Make-Over”. A few simple steps that go a long way in presenting your property for sale and ensuring you get the highest price possible for your property!
These simple and cost effective steps will add value to your home, ensuring any potential buyer who walks through your property will know that they won’t have to do a thing when they move in.
This includes:
- Make your garden look pretty! Coming into spring, the cherry blossoms are blooming, gardens are coming alive. Your garden hasn’t had much attention over winter. Having a gardener attend to: Weeding, pruning, shaping hedges, mowing, edging and laying fresh mulch has an extreme impact on the presentation of a property instantly! It’s cost effective and long lasting.
- De-clutter your front and backyard. Walk through the front and back yard and remove items that are lying around. Most items can be stored away or probably thrown away! You will likely end up with a pile of rubbish. Contact Dave’s Home Maintenance for low cost rubbish removal. Also, you may be able to sell some items, putting money back in your pocket.
- Refresh outdoor areas with pressure cleaning A great way to give your outdoor areas, especially entertaining areas, a fresh look is to have them pressure cleaned. Removing built up mould, dirt and grime that has accumulated over years can make outdoor paving, decking, driveways, retaining walls and paths look almost new again.
- Paint interior walls One of the best ways to rejuvenate the interior of a home ready for sale is to paint! Its literally adds thousands of dollars to the end price you will get for the sale of the property. Painting creates an instantly modern, fresh feel to any home. Any cracked walls, holes in plaster or damaged wall/ceiling areas can be fixed and prepped for painting during this process.
- Clean the roof This is one of the first things people see when they drive up to a home – and something a lot of vendors forget about. Pressure cleaning or repainting your roof will create instant appeal.
- Add a skylight A skylight is a great way to add natural light to areas of the house that miss out, such as entrance hallways and south-facing rooms, kitchens and bathrooms.
- Hire a handyman Walk around the property with Dave from Dave’s Home Maintenance and a notepad and list all the defects that need to be rectified. This includes patching cracks, fixing loose fittings, sealing leaking taps, putting in stronger voltage lightbulbs and fixing doors that don’t close properly. Have them clean the property from top to bottom, inside and out, including all windows.
