If for some reason, you can’t seem to get rid of your property; most probably you are going wrong somewhere. You have to of course get all the furniture out and then do the following.
Paint the place: The greatest thing you can do for the property is paint the whole thing over. A freshly painted property earns instant brownie points with the buyers and scuffs over the wear marks.
Make lighting improvements: A house with vintage light bulbs will not exactly be a best seller, before you’re ready to sell, just make sure that the lights will turn on when the switches are flicked.
Make it tidy: If your house was a pig sty when you lived in it, please de clutter the place. A mismatched armchair and carpets will not exactly settle well with buyers.
Bathrooms should look usable: If your bathroom looked like it belonged in prison, the property will definitely not sell. You could just fix the fixtures and lighting and with a fresh coat of paint claim it was always this way.
Cut the Curtains: When you’re making a sell you don’t need to get all private about it. Just take down the curtains, it lets natural light enter the rooms and make the rooms look larger and less stuffy. Drapes are a big no-no during viewings.
Mirror the walls: Putting up mirrors on the walls could just about give you the extra edge. Mirrors can brighten up a dark room and also add dimensions, making a small room look much bigger.
Update the greeting: You have got to start selling the property from when the customers enter your curb. For this you would have to revamp your porch to a certain extent. Buy a pretty knocker or bell for the door or put up a shiny red letter box.
Pretty your yard: This works on the same logic as the above, get yourself a part time gardener and fill the yard with flowers and flank the main door with pots.
Light the house: The house must be lighted from outside as well. Make sure your porch light works.
Don’t forget the backyard: You wouldn’t want the customers to be impressed with the house then find your backyard littered with all the garbage you threw away while cleaning up.
