As everybody says, first impressions are the most memorable. So, if your house is currently on the market and you are about to start open homes, make sure you keep certain things in mind to help your property look its best:
• A clean and tidy garden is a happy garden. Clear away any weeds, mow the lawns, and trim away any grass overgrowth spilling onto the sidewalks. Make sure any dead plants, rubbish and clutter is removed so that prospective buyers can walk through outdoor areas with ease.
• If your house has recently been built or if all the furniture has already been removed then maybe consider staging furniture for your property. There are many hire companies that have decorators on hand to find the best furniture to suit your home and make it stand out.
• You may be expecting many people to turn up to your open home, including families with young children – it is always a good idea to hide away any breakables or valuables to ensure that there are no accidents or breakages.
• Make sure that all windows and blinds are open before letting prospective buyers into the house. This way, they will see all the natural light that the property has to offer.
• Have a big tidy up of the interior to remove all clutter – this will help rooms look neater and larger.
• Purchase a mild room fragrance to help make rooms smell pleasant and to minimise odours.
• If your property has a garage then give it a tidy and make sure it is dust and oil-spot free – it doesn't have to be perfect, but try to make it look presentable.
There are many houses for sale in Illawarra, so it is important to make yours stand out from the rest.
