Guide to Sell Your Home Quickly

Posted On Saturday, 09 May 2020 21:29

Now is the time that traditionally, people will look to sell their homes. However, due to current circumstances, people are finding it harder to sell their homes, because of the global health pandemic. So at times like this, it is handy to know a few tips and tricks that will help you to sell your home quickly. You need to move, for whatever reason, so make sure that you can move as quickly as you need to. From knowing the importance of making great first impressions with your home, to whether or not you should change the kitchen, here are some ideas to help.  

Brighten up the garden

When it comes to someone viewing a home, the first impression is something that can set the whole thing off to go well or not. If they don’t like the look of the outside, they will have already told themselves they’re not going to like the look of the inside. The driveway and front yard will be the first things that potential buyers will see, so it is best to make a good impression right from the start.

Give your house a deep clean

Giving your home a clean before a potential viewing is a must, but if you are thinking that you need to sell my house fast, then a deep clean is important. Surface cleaning is very different to having thick dust hidden or kitchen cabinets that haven’t been wiped down. It can really make a difference when you are trying to sell. It doesn’t cost much to do it, so invest the time.

Don’t do anything drastic

If you think that the kitchen could do with an upgrade or the bathroom needs to be renovated, then that is all well and good. However, now is not the time to make any major changes to the home. Often the new buyer will take into account that some areas need to be updated, but they are likely to want to do the work themselves. So there is no need for you to spend the extra money.

Do make small changes

It is a good idea to make sure that your home is up to scratch when you’re selling. So although major renovations aren’t needed, sorting out a tired paint job or revarnishing something can make a difference. Clear any space that can be used for storage, so that buyers can look at them and not see a big load of clutter. Small things like repainting doors and dressing the home, with plants and something like a new doormat can help the home to stand out, and show to a buyer that those small tasks aren’t there; they can move in right away. 

There are a few things that can make a difference to how fast you can sell your home, so they are definitely worth looking into, to see if they can help you. It is also worth noting that to sell a home quickly, you may get less than the asking price. Be prepared and go in with realistic expectations, and it will all go much more smoothly.
