Don't spray air freshener or light scented candles when selling your home. Many people are put off by strong fragrances; others may even have a severe allergic reaction. Potential buyers could come to an initial negative impression of the home, something very hard to overcome. However, if you still wish for your home to have an attractive scent, place some lightly scented potpourri on a table in a bowl.
If you are planning to sell your home, you should first make any minor repairs that bring the place up to par. Take steps to ensure that the plumbing is in good shape. Otherwise, you might lose a lot of potential buyers.
Make your yard look tidy and clean, rather than heavily landscaped. Most likely, the new buyers will take all the landscaping out and put new elements in. Keep the lawn mowed, and leave mature trees in place.
Freshen up your bathroom's look when you place your home out on the market. Add some new fixtures and lighting. Aim for the atmosphere of a spa, so potential buyers can imagine themselves soaking in the tub or otherwise enjoying the space.
Ensure that you home is well lighted when you are opening it to a potential buyer. A room with adequate lighting can look bigger than it actually is, and will put buyers at ease about potential problems in a home that is darkly lit. By just turning on the lights can increase the odds of multiple offers on your home.
Before putting your home up for sale, cut all trees and bushes on the property. When a potential buyer comes and views your home, they may be more inclined to but it because of the better view. Replace old fixtures, paint your door and attach new address number to the outside of your home for a fresh, clean look. Don't forget that a first impression is really important, so make sure that your home's exterior looks amazing.
Make sure the master bedroom would be looked favorably upon by both men and women. Do not let your bedroom look too much like a bachelor pad. If the bedroom's really feminine, male buyers might be turned off. Keep the bedroom simple and gender neutral. That way, house hunters will have no problem seeing themselves living in your current space.
This process requires you to be involved and spend a lot of time. Although many resources exist for sellers to manage their own sale, this is often to the expense of potential profit.
When selling a house, clear as many items out of it as you are able to, even if you still live in the home. New buyers have to be able to imagine themselves there, and cleaning up not only makes that easier for them, but gives you less to pack later.
Add some energy efficient items in your home before you put it up for sale. If you install energy star rated items, such as energy monitors, LED bulbs, and solar motion lights outdoors, people may be more likely to buy the house because they can save a great deal of money not having to buy those things themselves.
