Here are a few tips and tricks to follow 

Deep cleaning 

The first thing is to give your home a good deep clean. Hiring a professional who has the experience and tools to make your home sparkle is essential. You can communicate your needs and focus on spaces that are usually neglected. As much as internal cleaning is important, external cleaning provides for perfect listing-ready photos. This helps in making your whole house look welcoming right away.

Freshen up your front door

Prior to listing, give your front door a fresh coat of paint, as the first thing the buyer is going to see is the front yard. So adding some fun elements like large plants, artistic outdoor decors will give an impression of a well maintained area. You can also try adding a clever welcome door mat, add a smart lock to give it a tech edge or simply add a splash of colours to the front to bring a big impact with minimum effort.

Declutter your home

Showing off the spaces in your room as much as possible helps to give a good impression. Especially at the kitchens and store rooms any left over clutter from cleaning up and fixing woodwork should be carefully removed. Toys, photo frames, and crowded shelves should also be removed. Anything too personal can distract a buyer. 

Stick to Neutrals

It's best to choose neutral looks throughout the house. It should be kept in mind that each buyer is different so avoiding dark painted rooms or flashy colours may not suit the buyers taste. However in certain places you can opt to keep subtle coloured furniture to complement the look. 

Replacing and fixing the essentials

Especially when we walk into the restrooms, wash areas, balconies and staircase we may come across stains and scars giving it a tired look. As much as the walls are given importance the flooring also calls for good cleaning as this says a lot about the house. Replacing rusted fittings like taps, hose, shower, drains gives a fresh, well maintained look. Hence making it more welcoming and attractive for buying the property. Any leaks and cracks should also be fixed so that the buyer does not feel doubtful of investing in the house.

Bring in some light

Lighting up dark areas in a house enhanced by natural lighting beautifies the space. Replace any outdated window fittings or add some mirrors to reflect light into the interiors. This brightens up gloomy areas in the house. You can also add light airy curtains to the windows to allow natural light and breeze. Buyers would feel refreshed at the ventilation and air circulation in the house.

Staging your home is a form of visual merchandising. It adds value to your home very quickly. It reduces the fear of moving into a house that needs mending and rework. The better it looks to a buyer, it is more move- in ready. Staging your home  will maximise the home’s square footage.
