Selling Tips
Preparing your property for sale
Make the property feel inviting
Buyers (even investors) like to imagine they'd enjoy living in a property, so make it easy for them to feel good about your place. Gentle music, a fragrant oil burner and a few scattered cushions can make all the difference on inspection day. The power of emotion is amazing.
Less is more
Clear the clutter. It will make it easier to keep the property tidy for inspections and rooms will feel more spacious to buyers.
Let the sunshine in
Everyone loves sunshine when they are looking to buy, so open up blinds and curtains for inspections. Buyers won't complain of too much sun!
Fix outstanding repairs
Even the smallest of problems can make buyers wary about other less obvious issues. So its best to fix what buyers will see and make the property appear well cared for.
Clean up lawns and gardens plus remove rubbish
If you've spent time and money with your property's presentation, a small investment in the garden can be extremely worthwhile. Remember we live in a beautiful part of Victoria where the outdoor areas can be just as valuable as indoors for many buyers.
Take the time now to consider what's for sale
Now is the time to get really clear on what you will be including in the sale. Many fixtures and fittings can easily be removed without causing damage - such as precious light fittings, curtains that match a bedroom suite, garden pots, birdbaths etc. Remove items you wish to keep BEFORE negotiations commence.
