showing-off the smart way
showcasing your home
Taking a bit of time to present your home in its best possible light can get more potential purchasers though the door and can result in a higher sale price. It’s not about spending money and re-decorating, it’s just about presenting a clean and tidy home, maximising the available space and light. Here are some helpful tips that are worth considering before we send our photographers round:
before listing
- Clear the driveway of cars and bins
- Ensure every room is clean and tidy and clutter-free – the more carpet / window sills / wall space people can see the larger the property will look
- Clean any mildew off the shower or window frames
- Remove rugs and mats so the room appears larger
- Take down any clothing lines / airers
- Display garden furniture nicely from Spring to Autumn
- Clear away any pet bowls / toys / beds
- Make the beds
- Turn off TVs and computers
- Fully open all curtains / blinds to let as much natural light in as possible
- Fix any small snagging items such as lights hanging off the wall, kitchen cupboards not hanging properly
before viewings
- Follow the advice in before listing, plus:
- Bad smells are the biggest turn-off for potential buyers so use subtle air fresheners / fragranced diffusers to mask the smell of pets or cooking
- Keep your house warm during the Winter months
- Replace any broken light bulbs
- Clean windows inside and out
