First Impressions
|
Keep the garden tidy. Trim lawns, cultivate flower beds. Make sure paths and steps
are free from snow and ice. Keep the driveway clear and any gates open. Leave room for
people to park. Does your bell work? Can your house number be seen clearly?
|
|
Light the Way
|
Keep any porch or hall lights on at night.
|
|
Cats and Dogs
|
Keep pets quiet or out of the house when buyers call.
|
|
Fix That Tap
|
Check your home for dripping taps, broken light bulbs etc.
|
|
DIY
|
Tidy up any peeling wallpaper or damaged paintwork. Attention to even the smallest detail can generate good results.
|
|
Kitchens
|
The kitchen can tip the scales when it comes to selling. Make sure yours is well ordered with neat, clean cupboards.
|
|
Bathrooms
|
Watch for dripping taps or discoloured bath suites and keep the room clean, tidy and bright.
|
|
Bedrooms
|
Keep bedrooms tidy - that way they look more spacious.
|
|
Storage Space Sells
|
Keep cupboards, basements and attics tidy. Throw out unwanted rubbish.
|
|
Silence Speaks
|
Don't let the conversation dry up. Be courteous. Point out particular features of each room, but
let the buyers inspect at their own pace.
|
|
The Grand Tour
|
This is fine, but let buyers have another look round on their own. Offer to answer their
questions, but let them look at their leisure.
