Selling your home is a big job that can be frustrating at times, but rewarding in the end when done right. When you finally decide to sell your property, most of the time you want it done quickly. When your home is not selling at the ideal speed you wish, this becomes frustrating and irritating. However, there are steps you can take to get your home sold quicker.

Declutter

When potential buyers are coming in to tour your home, a big turn off can be clutter around the house, be sure to declutter to your best ability and have your home look neat and tidy. Be sure to take an extra glance at table tops that have clutter you don’t even notice. The presence of a neat and tidy home to potential buyers can help ensure them that you have taken proper care of the property. Also, with little to no clutter, potential buyers can better envision their furniture in your home.

Deep Clean

Along with keeping your home free of clutter, giving it a good precise clean can also be a turn on for buyers. This isn’t a very surprising concept, but some buyers really look close at things like shower drains, inside cabinets, tile grout, and corners. Windows are also another huge factor that often goes un-looked, the cleaner the window, the more light that is let into your home. Put yourself in the buyer's shoes and inspect these easy to miss spots before showing your home.

Make It Welcoming

Next, let’s take a look at the design and flow of the furnishings in your home, how welcoming and open is it to potential buyers. Seller’s often forget that they are used to the way their home looks and may not see any flaws in the design at first glance. Try bringing in a friend or outside party to give you some tips on other ways to arrange your furniture. Our home’s are usually designed to fit our needs, be sure to think about what a potential buyer might think when they see a step stool next to the sink or the tv turned towards the recliner. You want your home to appear friendly and lived in, but also open and almost staged.

Updating Your Home

Next, let’s talk about decor and home appliances. Try updating these things before showing and giving your home a contemporary look. It can be things as small as a bouquet of flowers on the kitchen table, a nice vase on your mantle, or your best throw blanket being placed on the couch. If your decorations seem to be outdated, consider the purchase of stylish ones from a department store, or even borrowing some from a friend or neighbor for your showing.

You May Need To Stage Your Home

Finally, consider the option of hiring someone to come in and stage your home before having a showing. This is fairly inexpensive and can decrease the amount of time your home is on the marker for greatly. If this is not an option, put yourself in the buyer’s shoes and think about what they would want to see when first walking in your home. Having your home look professional, but family friendly is a huge benefit. This will also help if you are putting pictures of your property online.

The Take Away

Overall, going the extra mile to have your home appear at its best for showing can be one of its greatest factors in selling rate. Even spending a small amount of extra money on these projects can give you a successful return on investment . You can choose to do these things yourself, or higher outside professionals, it may not seem worth it at the time, but will be in the long haul.
