If you are thinking about selling your house you are probably wondering what you can do to make sure that the house sells quickly. There are a couple things that people do that either hurt or help their chances of selling their home. Here are some things you should know.
1. Keep The Yard Looking Nice
One of the biggest things that people neglect to think about is the yard. They are so worried about getting the house ready that they don't care for the yard as they should. This is especially the case if you aren't currently living at the house. Even just having someone come over to mow the lawn weekly will make all the difference in how your house is perceived. What you may not realize is that the outside of the house is the first impression they will have of the home in general. So if the outside looks unkempt it will appear as though the house will need more work than it really does. You may lose that buyer, or you might get an offer that is far lower because they believe they need to invest money to get the house to look good. You will save yourself time and money if you just keep the yard looking nice.
2. Take As Much Out Of The House As You Can
A cluttered house is a house that will never sell. In fact, even having too many belongings in the house, even though the house is clean will make the house appear smaller and as if it can't hold everything it needs to. This is why many agents recommend cleaning out the closets and only having them half to ¾ full. This way it will appear as though there is plenty of space for storage.
This also relates to furniture. Too much furniture in the house will make the house appear smaller and cluttered. Just have a couple pieces in the house, if you need to get a storage unit and house some of your items while you show the house.
3. Plenty Of Light
Lastly, make sure there is plenty of light in the house. Open windows and plenty of overhead lighting will make the house feel bigger, brighter and happier. If you need to bring in lamps so that they house is bright when you show it, and if possible schedule showings when you can get natural light.
