How to Make Your Property More Attractive to Buyers

Being a real estate Broker I show all kinds of houses for sale. It continually amazes me that people put their property on the market in the shape that I have seen some of them in. Most of them I would not live in myself much less show to a client for sale. Everyone needs to do three things before putting their home on the market for sale - clean, de clutter, and depersonalize. These three things make for a much quicker sale and higher sales price.

Most buyers want to see a clean property. They want to know that the home has been taken care of. A seller should thoroughly clean or hire professional cleaners before putting their home on the market for sale. Nothing is worse than going in someone's home and it is filthy. A buyer will run in the opposite direction. Odours are a problem also, cat litter coming in at the top of the list. If you have an inside cat and you are showing your home, please confine pets and the litter box to one room for that day. It really helps in showing the property.

Buyers want to know that their furniture will fit in your home, but if your property is so cluttered with stuff that they cannot tell. Please try to take out furniture you do not need and just get the bare minimum in each room. It really helps the buyers realize the true size of the rooms and it helps them picture their furniture there. Kitchen counters should be cleared of appliances and and canisters, the buyer should get the sense of how much space is available in the kitchen. Baking cookies before a potential buyer views the house will give the home an appealing smell as well.

Last but not least, try to depersonalize your home. Take down all your collections and anything that is not generic. You put your property on the market because you want to move, so start packing now. The buyer should be able to come in your home and look at the home and not stare at your collections. Keep the yard mowed and give the property curb appeal by planting some colourful flowers in the landscape.
