Whatever the reason, there often comes a time when it's time to pack up shop and move on to a new home. Whether you're upgrading or downsizing, it's important to make sure the sale of your existing property is a successful one.
One way to achieve this is engaging a vendor advocacy service, in order to secure the best real estate agent for the job. You want to work with an experienced agent who understands the best marketing and sales strategies. However, you can also do a bit to help your cause, too.
Tidying up your home and completing some renovations could be incredibly useful when selling your own home. So just which areas should you focus on?
Cook up a storm
When hosting open inspections, potential buyers will make their way to the kitchen like bees to flowers.
Make sure your kitchen is looking pristine in order to capture as much interest as possible.
A glossy new countertop could be a good investment, while plenty of storage options are sure to be a hit with buyers – think under-counter cupboards, overhead shelves and hooks for pots to hang from.
You might like to paint the kitchen with a shade of white, grey or pale blue as well.
Wash and dry to success
Another area of the home that you might not have considered renovating is the laundry.
However, what kind of homeowner wants to wash and dry their clothes in a cramped space? If you can open up your laundry space or shift it to an existing room that's currently unused, this could be a smart idea.
A laundry doesn't need to be huge, but it should have ample storage space and an area to set up an ironing board.
Take a peek outside
It's not just your home's interior that deserves attention.
Always mow the grass, trim overgrown shrubbery and get rid of any moss or mould before hosting open inspections.
Your home's front yard is the first thing buyers will see, so make it stand out for the right reasons when selling.
