We are entering one of the key times in the calendar for selling your house. If you are thinking of moving then you will be wanting to do as much as you can to help get your home sold ASAP, and as such I have put together a few of my favorite tips of what not tondo when selling.
1. Don't Show Day To Day Life
First and foremost, you need a buyer to fall in love with your home, and the lifestyle they could have in it. Moving house is all about imagining what life will be like somewhere else and most buyers look with rose tinted glasses, so the last thing you want to show them is that life is exactly the same in your house as it is in theirs.
2. Don't Leave Red Flags Showing
If you have anything on show that looks like it needs fixing, or looks to involve work and/or money to make right, you are leaving yourself open for lower offers or no offers from potential buyers. Buyers look to find areas that they can reasonably offer lower for your property, don't leave money on the table, it may take a day to honoring and sort everything out and that's time well spent.
3. Don't Be Negative
If you do the viewings yourself never be negative about your home. Never apologize for things and let the buyer make their own mind up about everything. Above all, never give a negative reason for why you are moving. Try something more positive, such as "I need to be closer to my work, but will miss this house" or "we are moving to be closer to family, but are sorry to move". If space is the issue then try and ensure that rooms aren't cluttered as this will show buyers that you don't have enough room.
Best of luck with selling your home!!
