7 Tips to Sell Your Home From a Professional Estate Agents

Having trouble selling your home?

Follow Home Estate Agents 7 simple tips that may help maximise your sale in today’s marketplace:

1 – Clean and De-Clutter

A new survey has revealed that a clean and tidy home can add up to £5,000 to the asking price.

Clutter can make a room seem small and disorganised so get rid of as much as possible. Clean your home from top to bottom, and bleach the kitchen and bathroom. Buyers are much more likely to feel comfortable in a home that is immaculate than one bursting with smelly bins and dirty linen.

2 – Paint

Paint colour is a massively personal choice so make your house a blank canvas. In rooms where you opted for bright/deep hues, repaint with more neutral shades.

3 – First Impressions Count

Most people make up their minds about a house a few seconds after stepping through the door. Spend time perfecting the buyer’s path from kerb to door. Plant flowers, repaint the door and de-clutter the hallway to make a lasting first impression.

4 – Pets

Potential buyers will either love or hate your furry friend, but either way it’s best to make sure pets stay outside or with a pet-sitter during viewings. Pets can distract viewers from your home, give them allergies or simply scare them away!

5 – Garden

Unless buyers are prepared for a project, your garden should look like an area ready for entertaining. An unkempt lawn, loose paving stones and overgrown bushes are all major no-nos.

6 – Fix It

Getting problems fixed before putting your house on the market is a sensible idea. Faulty light fixtures, leaky plumbing and cracked tiles are all incredibly off-putting. Find a local tradesman and avoid sending the wrong message to potential buyers.

7 – De-Personalise

Pack up those family heirlooms and personal photographs. While there’s no doubt they hold treasured memories for you, you want your buyers to visualise themselves living in your house and it could be off-putting if your home is surrounded by such personal items.

8 – Highlight Key Features

To make your home stand out in the competitive market, it’s essential to highlight its unique features. Identify and accentuate aspects that differentiate your property from others. This could include energy-efficient appliances, modern home systems, or recent renovations. Make sure to mention these features in your listing and showcase them during viewings.

9 – Utilise an Estate Agent

Selling a home can be a complex and time-consuming process. Utilising the expertise of a professional estate agent can significantly streamline this process and maximise your sale price. Estate agents have in-depth knowledge of the local property market. They can provide you with a realistic valuation of your home, ensuring it’s priced competitively to attract buyers while maximising your returns.

An estate agent can give your property greater visibility through professional marketing strategies. This includes high-quality photographs, virtual tours, and listings on popular property websites. Their extensive network can also bring your home to the attention of potential buyers more effectively than DIY efforts.
