Can You Sell Your Home Through Auction ? Use These Tips To Help.
Paul Costello
So how can we improve the look of your home in 2 days, improve it enough to have buyers waiting at your door ? Both the inside and the outside of your home are important but remember that the outside of your home creates the buyer's first impression but it's the inside which has to really impress any potential buyer. Your home must be perfect-shining, sparkling clean, neat,spacious, perfect. You may be selling your home through an auction but be ready for viewings.
Clutter is one of the biggest reasons why homes don't sell. In order for your home to be seen in its best light you must create space-you must de-clutter. Get rid of lots of ornaments, of family photos on display, of clothes draped everywhere,of children's toys. If you need to when you have viewings send the children or the family pets to a friends or neighbors. Do anything you can to ensure that your potential buyer is focussed purely on your home.
Most people and especially home buyers hate bright or garish colors so if your home is decorated like this then re-decorate fast and do it now! Neutral or light colors are best as these allow your home to be seen to its advantage and create light and a feeling of space. Increase this feeling of light and space by increasing the power of your light bulbs and by increasing the number of your lights. A light,airy home is a home that sells.
If your carpets are worn, dirty or stained you should,whenever possible,replace them. If you can't afford to or if they're not too bad then clean them very,very thoroughly. Clean and polish all windows and mirrors so they gleam!
* Give your stove and oven a thorough cleaning. Clean the oven and the drip pans under each burner. Make sure to remove all grease and dirt build-up. Polish the shine on the outside of the stove and oven. Clean your refrigerator and any other appliances including the dishwasher. Work it until it shines!
* Clean all the window treatments, including the blinds, and clean all the fingerprints around the doorknobs and light switches. Make sure to clean the wall around your wastebaskets, especially the one in the kitchen.
* Clean all your kitchen countertops and clear them off as much as possible. Reduce the number of items in your cabinets not only in the kitchen, but in all the cabinets in your house. That's right de-cluttering really is the key word.
Now de-clutter again. Make sure clothes hang neatly in your closets, do not overcrowd and when possible move some items of clothing from the shelves, off the floor and into storage. Clean and de-clutter your attic space,your garage, and your basement.
Your home must appear perfect to potential buyers. So now make sure that there are no leaks, squeaks, or rattles in your home. If you've had any water damage repair and make sure all signs of this are fixed. If any nuts, bolts or screws are loose tighten them up, fix them! Potential buyers must not think that there are any repairs to do in their new home!
If you have pets or young children your home may have odors. Ask a friendly neighbor to check as you will have become accustomed to them. Make your home smell fresh and clean.Try aromatherapy oils not artificial chemical air fresheners.
