Did you know that just a few home improvements could improve your home’s value and that first impressions can mean everything?
The first thing a prospective new buyer will often recognize is the exterior of your residence. Charm is in all likelihood the most important variable in selling your home. If a prospective customer sees the outside and isn’t impressed, he probably doesn’t even care what the inside looks like. Therefore, make it attractive.
Landscaping is really a must. Continue mowing, trim hedges/bushes and clear path. If it’s summer, spend a few bucks and plant some flowers. Flowers make absolutely everyone smile. Does the exterior require a fresh coat of paint? See your house as a stranger. Is there something you don’t like about him? Start there. You can always take a walk within your neighborhood. See what shines in your neighbors’ properties and what separates yours from theirs. In fact, you can learn from them. Ask your friends for their advice.
The inside is just as important as the outside. Keep it clutter free. This is a must, even if you have to rent storage space until you sell. Continue to keep the curtains open. Make it as airy as possible. Open your windows and don’t forget to clean them! You may already know that painting is an inexpensive way to help keep your home looking its best. Keep the colors easy and basic. The soft and warm colors will transform a residence. When my coworkers complain and want new furniture, I usually tell them to just paint the rooms. It’s like getting new furniture. Bring a home to life, regardless of how the furniture looks.
Did you know that the MLS listing service is considered the most dynamic tool to promote your property? You can trade through a broker or discount broker. When you list your home on the MLS, your home appears on the local MLS for your area. Real estate agents scan the MLS several times a day to find properties for their prospective clients. Your listing includes color photos and all the details about the home along with its amenities. Agents are encouraged to sell your home like any other property on the MLS. Once your property is listed on the Multiple Listing Service, it is quickly syndicated to Realtor.com, which happens to be the most widely used real estate website. Internet is great. Your property will probably be found by 1000’s.
Another effective tool is to make sure you have great photos of your home online. Having as many great photos of the home online as possible could help your showings, since these days most people shop online before choosing which homes to tour in person. Many times, not having photos could cause your listing to be skipped entirely. People want to see photos!
Did you know that another reliable tool is the yard sign? Displaying a FOR SALE sign is highly recommended to advertise your home. It indicates that you are really serious about selling your home.
