Making ready for sale

Getting your house ready for sale: what is that really?

Make your home sale-ready!

If you want to sell your home, it is important to present your home in the best possible way to potential buyers. When preparing your home for sale, don’t just pay attention to the inside of your home, but make sure that the exterior and outdoor space look presentable as well.

 

We’ll give you some tips for each category below:

Making your garden ready for sale

Your garden is usually the first introduction to your home during a viewing. Therefore, make sure your yard looks neat and tidy. Remove weeds and sweep the pavement. A well-kept garden often gives a positive impression of the occupants.

Getting the exterior of your home ready for sale

A home that looks well maintained sells better. Therefore, make sure the exterior of your home looks good. Is your home still in good paint? Good. Also clean the window frames and windows for a neat appearance.

Making the inside of your home ready for sale

A tidy house sells better than an uncluttered house. This is because your home will look more spacious, and more space is one of the main reasons for people to move. Also look at the paintwork inside. A neutral color scheme on the walls makes for a faster sale. Furthermore, make sure the house is safe, fix small defects such as a leaking faucet, a sticking door or a loose doorknob and give the bathroom some extra attention.

What not to forget when cleaning up your home:

  • Give garage and barn a makeover
  • Store everything that can go in closets in those as well. Cupboards also look larger when everything is neatly in place.
  • Give basements and souterrains a fresh color on the wall so they appear more spacious

Make potential buyers feel safe in your home:

  • Remove furniture that someone might trip over
  • Nail down loose carpet edges
  • Repair loose handrails and stair treads
  • Remove uneven flooring
