1) Make a Good First Impression

Stand across the street for a moment and look at your house as if seeing it for the first time. It’s hard to do, but if you put yourself in the shoes of a prospective buyer, who will be critical, you will have a better view of possible flaws. Are the yard, driveway, and facade well maintained? Does the whole place look attractive? What are your impressions when you enter? Ask your friends and family these questions as well.

2) Don’t Make Unnecessary Investments

It is a misconception that a 30,000 euro investment in a bathroom renovation or a new kitchen will increase the sales price by the same amount. If you offer a fair price, the buyer will decide whether the renovation of the outdated kitchen or bathroom is necessary for the short term or if it is within his budget.

3) Make Any Necessary Updates

Meanwhile, make sure the house’s electrical system is in order. Make sure it does not have an old boiler and that it has the required inspection certificate. Fix a leaky kitchen faucet, etc. These have a more significant impact on living comfort than an over-installed kitchen.

4) Depersonalization of the Home

Opinions differ, but generally speaking, when a potential buyer visits your home, he or she should be able to visualize the furnishings and even the lifestyle in it. During the initial visit, they should be able to see how your home could be their home. And if the home does breathes your lifestyle and taste, it will not work. Try to create an atmosphere that is neutral and almost characterless. Remove family photos from the walls and paint the brightest accent wall white.

5) Take Good Pictures

Nowadays, you can sell your home online if you have attractive photos. Buyers will make their initial selections based on pictures and other information on the Internet. Therefore, prepare good images that do your home justice. Take high-resolution photos in good weather conditions and with sufficient light. If necessary, hire a professional photographer.

6) Seek a Fair Price

Ask for a fair price. It is simply unfortunate to ask for too little, because you will lose money on it. But if the price is too high, you will attract few visitors or buyers. If you start lowering the cost of a house after a few weeks, you will give a wrong impression to potential buyers.

And experienced visitors to real estate websites certainly notice this. They think, “Oh, that house must have some serious problems. Contacting a sworn professional to determine the correct price is helpful and inexpensive.

7) Take Good Care of Your Garden

A well-maintained garden is essential if you want your residence to have an outstanding image. Many “online” viewers are enthused when a garden looks lovely. With a bit of ingenuity, you can make your garden look well-maintained.

Garden maintenance can be thought of as

• Cleaning of garden furniture
• Vegetation clearing
• Mowing
• Pruning hedges
• Weed removal
• Cutting low branches
• Removing deposits from roof tiles

8) House Cleanup

Do you offer guided tours? Clean the house as much as possible. People come to see the house; they don’t need to know how many coats are hanging there. Put everything away neatly. Only then, place something in the house that will add to the ambiance. Think of a bouquet or a folded blanket on a chair or sofa.

9) Fresh and Bright Walls

When the exterior of a house is fresh and bright, it makes the rooms seem larger. Many people like a bright house with lots of light. If there are only dark walls, this is less noticeable. Do you have only dark walls? Then try to paint at least a few light walls.
