Neatness Is The Key To Sell Property Quick – Part 1 – The Outside
Filed under: Real Estate;Welcome back!
Moving Property is one of the most stressful times of your life. The good news is that almost all of the stress and hassle can be removed from the Sales Process by a little preparation.. We’ve all heard the tales about baking bread and brewing coffee just before potential Property Purchasers arrive, but remember, you’ve got to get them out of their cars and over your doorstep before any of that can be of any benefit to you. So, the first thing you need to get right is the look of the Property from the street. By the time a potential Buyer has walked from his car to your front door, you need him to really WANT to like the Property. This is the key to Sell Property Fast.
First impressions have never counted more. Flaky paintwork, dirty windows, messy hedges, tatty lawn, uneven paving stones etc., etc., could lose you a sale before you even get the chance to welcome potential Purchasers inside.
Before your viewings begin, in fact before you have the Property valued have a quick wander up your street and attempt to look at your Property as though it’s the first time you’ve looked at it and, above all, be critical.
Are all the windows & doors and their frames spotlessly clean? If the paintwork is sound, a good wash is all you need. If the paintwork is cracked or flaking; resist the temptation to simply apply a quick coat of paint over a tatty surface. The results just call out that you’ve done a substandard job & give a much worse impression than a little natural wear & fatigue. If you can’t or don’t have time to do the job yourself; you’ll find a decent Handyman in most neighbourhoods who’ll do the job for a very good price.
Take a look at your path or drive. Either pull up the weeds, or spray them with a proprietary path weed killer. If you have uneven paving stones, get them levelled.
Get the front Garden tidied up. If it’s been allowed to overgrow, start cutting the lawn regularly at least 2 or 3 weeks before you let a valuer see your Property. That way it will have regained some of its greenness. Consider applying a liquid garden feed using a garden sprayer. This only takes minutes, and gives a healthy verdant effect in days.
Keep the pavement & roadside litter free for a couple of Propertys either side of your Property. If there are weeds growing on the pavement, treat them at the same time as you treat the weeds on your drive.
These kind of jobs are speedy and cheap to do, and make the world of difference in helping you to Sell Property Fast. They put your potential Purchasers in a positive frame of mind before they step over your doorstep. That’s the key to Fast House Sales.
Even if you’re thinking about selling your Property to one of those Companies that buy homes, taking these steps will ensure you get the best possible valuation result.
