1. |
Prepare and make your property ready to view. If you don’t
prepare your home well, it will affect your chances of a sale. |
| 2. |
The market determines the price range of your property. You determine
where it falls within that price range. |
| 3. |
Give the impression of plenty of space. Clutter in your property
during a viewing makes it seem smaller. |
| 4. |
Preparation of all aspects of the viewing is important. The sight
of weeds or peeling paint on the exterior may be enough to put off potential buyers. |
| 5. |
Arrange the furniture to create open spaces. Do not obstruct
pathways around the home as it will make the room feel cramped. |
| 6. |
Make sure all windows are clean and let as much natural light
into the property as possible. |
| 7. |
Make sure everything on show is in working order and unbroken.
A home which requires repairs is likely to receive a much lower offer than one
which does not. |
| 8. |
Create a welcoming feel to your home when showing potential buyers
around. It needs to be clean and tidy, smell fresh and feel spacious. |
| 9. |
The first impression that your property gives off is the most
important one. You must ensure that it is positive for your potential buyers.
It could be the difference between ‘maybe’ and ‘I’ll take
it’. |
| 10. |
Identify who your target buyer is (families, young couples, individuals
etc) and present the property in a way that will appeal to them. |
