Spring is historically the busiest time on real estate calendar. If you’re preparing to sell your home, you likely know how important preparing for open homes is. First impressions go a long way, and you want buyers to see the home in its best condition, with little maintenance required. Read our top tips below on how to get your home in tip top shape.
Air out your home thoroughly before each inspection so prospective buyers feel comfortable in the space. Ensure windows are cleaned so that the maximum amount of light can be let in, making the space feel more open.
We all love pets, but during an open home they can get in the way. Move them off site where possible to ensure the safety of your pet and the potential buyers. Thoroughly clean any areas they frequent and ensure droppings are picked up and disposed of.
This is perhaps an obvious step, however it really is one of the most important. Before doing a thorough clean, consider boxing up any extra clutter and unnecessary items and remove them from your home. Ensure your floors, walls, skirting boards are all clean and dust free. Pay attention in the bathrooms and kitchens to remove any stubborn marks, and have your carpets professionally cleaned. Once a thorough deep clean is completed, you should only require light maintenance to keep your home looking great. Enlist a professional cleaner if you need an extra helping hand.
Buyers want to walk into a home and effortlessly see how each space can be used. This goes for outdoor spaces as well as indoor. Ensure your patios, decks, pathways and concrete areas are free of moss or algae build up following winter. Style patio areas with comfortable outdoor furniture and tidy up garden areas.
Best practice is to not be around when your home is open for viewing. It can be an uncomfortable experience for both potential buyers and yourself if you are in the home throughout the open. Go for a walk or pop to the neighbours house and have the agent phone you when everyone has left
