Before you start marketing your property for sale, here are some helpful suggestions you may wish to consider to improve the presentation of your property ensuring you achieve the best results:

117_img_locnClean - As simple as it sounds, ensuring your property is clean and sparkling will ensure prospective buyers are instantly attracted and fall in love with the property. First impressions do count! Wipe all surfaces till they shine, including windows, showers, baths, floors and taps. Air out your property prior to inspections to remove cleaning and other odours. We are happy to recommend a professional and experienced cleaner should you require one.

 

118_img_locnTidy – De-clutter the rooms, freeing floor and bench space. Place items in storage, put items back in their cupboards, organize shelves; think minimalism. If done your property will have plenty of space and prospective buyers will be able to envision it’s full potential.

 

 

119_img_locnMaintain - You want your property to appear as well maintained as possible so potential buyers are not put off by the thought of overdue maintenance or overgrown gardens. This means fixing those odd-jobs you have been “getting around to”, and tidying up and gardens or mowing lawns. We will happily recommend a professional, competent and trustworthy tradesperson to assist you in these areas if required.

 

120_img_locnUpdate – Installing new floor coverings and fixtures is tempting, however only necessary if the current are severely dated or damaged. If the walls are yellowed, peeling or stained, you may want to consider painting. The same is true for wall-paper, although neither is always necessary. If you are painting small rooms, consider a lighter colour so the space appears larger, and remember that bold colours may put potential buyers off.

 

121_img_locnDisplay - Decorate the apartment and arrange the furniture to attract potential buyers. Consider who is in the market for the type of property you are selling and tailor the space to suit. This does not have to be as drastic as a show home, (however you can hire display furniture), some well placed decoration or art work may suffice. This will add to the property’s appeal and potentially increase offers.

 

122_img_locnEnvironment – Consider the sensory experience your property presents to prospective buyers. If it is near a noisy street, close windows, monitor the temperature and turn the air conditioning or heating on if required. Rid the place (especially the kitchen and bathroom) of unwanted smells with deodorizer and perhaps use essential oils or candles to create atmosphere. Open blinds and turn on lamps and lights so the property looks bright and inviting.
