>It’s no surprise that most home sellers have high expectations when selling their home because everybody would love to sell the house for more money. They want it to be fast and highly profitable! Below are some proven ways to ensure you get the most for your home.
Prepare your house to sell
Rearrange storage cabinets and closets. Buyers love to snoop and will open all cabinet and closet doors. Think of the message it sends if items fall out!
Almost every home shows better with less furniture. Remove pieces of furniture that block or hamper paths and walkways and put them in storage. Since your bookcases are now empty, store them.
Remove everything from your dining room table to make the room appear larger.

Now that you prepared the inside of the house take care of the property. The property must look beautiful, from the exterior walls, right up through the driveway and garden, to the front door. If the interior looks fantastic, but the exterior is falling apart, buyers will be put off from the word “go.” Think about adding some color to the exterior. Flower beds with some bright reds or yellows, for example, will “pop” and excite buyers.
Light it up
Maximize the light in your home. After location, good light is the one thing that every buyer want in a home. Take down the drapes, clean the windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let in the sunshine. Do everything to make your house bright and cheery – it will make it more sellable.
Intelligent renovation
Start by making sure the structural integrity is excellent. All essential features like electrical wiring and plumbing should be in great shape. Once that’s taken care of, then you can move on to cosmetic changes! If you are changing the paint, choose neutral colors, as these are a favorite with buyers. It allows them to picture themselves in the space more so than bold, bright colors. Most of these kinds of intelligent renovations will need a cash outlay, but, most of them more than make up for the investment by securing a higher selling price!
Pricing it right
Pricing it correctly will ensure that more buyers view the home, which can ultimately lead to a quicker sale. You need to do good market research. Find out the price of similar houses in the area. This will give you a better idea of what an accurate market value of your home is.
Of course, a good real estate agent can make it all better! You can’t beat a professional valuation done by an experienced real estate agent, so try to choose the agent who knows the area and market value. With this attitude, you will get higher chances of securing a price that might even exceed your expectations!
