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
