Are you thinking of selling your home?

Do you want to get some tips on how to do it right?

Then keep reading this guide!

Your home is your sanctuary – and if you’re selling it, it will be someone else’s safe space. If you are new to this and don’t know where to start, this guide is perfect for you. In this guide, we’ll be giving you the top 5 tips for selling your home to help you start with the process.

Tip # 1: Make Some Upgrades

First impression is the last impression – this is something you need to remember when selling your home. Before the buyer even walks through your doors, they’ve already judged your home. This is why, it is extremely important to improve and ornament your home from the outside!

Some easy and budget-friendly ways include:

• Adding a few colors with shrubs
• Placing flower pots for beauty
• Tidying up
• Repainting the exterior to make it look new

Tip # 2: Keep Your Home Presentable 24/7

Yes, it’s a lot of work but it’s also temporary. When you are in the process of selling your home, you need to be buyer-available and be able to show them around at any time. This means your home needs to be in a tiptop condition at all times. Keep the dirty dishes and laundry at bay, make sure the home is clean and dust-free, and your home isn’t messy, especially if there are kids around!

Tip # 3: Kitchen Is The Key

Really, kitchen is the key to selling your home, and that too at a good price! One of the main reasons why buyers bargain for a lower price is because of the amount of money they’re already thinking of spending on an old and outdated kitchen. With minimal changes (and some expensive ones), you can renew your kitchen entirely and get a profitable rate at the sale!

Some tips to renovate your kitchen:

• Invest in a new countertop (a little expensive but it will help you get a GREAT price for the overall sale)
• Redo the cupboards and storage
• Repaint the kitchen in a nude shade (makes your kitchen look luxurious while giving the buyer room for imagination for future-redesigning)
• Make sure there is sufficient lighting in the kitchen
• Make sure all the appliances are functional 

Tip # 4: Depersonalize It

Do you have family photos around the house?

Is your stuff lying around?

One thing you need to remember is that the buyer wants to see themselves in your house – not you. This is a place where they will make memories. Give them the space to envision their own life by depersonalizing your home. Rather, focus on maximizing the space plan in your home by carefully and minimally arranging the furniture. Make sure your home looks organized!

In addition to this, storage space should also be highlighted. If you don’t have plenty of storage space, then invest in the right cabinet/ closet hardware. If you do, then consider refreshing your current one with a few paint and polish touch ups. 

Tips # 5: List It On A Reputable Website

The world has gone online, quite literally! So don’t underestimate the power of the internet. Make sure you list your home on a recognized and licensed website platform so that the buyers can actually browse through and reach out to you. One of the key points to remember with listing your home online is to price it right, because you will end up paying a certain percentage of commission to the platform. However, it will be worth it because only the serious buyers will reach out to you, saving your time and energy!

These simple tips will help you sell your home to the right buyer at the right price!
