Getting ready to show your house to buyers
As a home seller, it’s important to put your property’s best foot forward during the showing process. Potential buyers have a wide range of factors to consider before making an offer and a well-kept internal and outside layout can make your property more attractive. The Prime source professional realtors have worked with thousands of sellers to help them attract more (and higher) offers on a given property by adding the right finishing polish to a home. As the real estate market has become more competitive, buyers have, in turn, become more demanding. We can help you navigate the process of preparing your home for showing with insight into what matters to prospective buyers from appearance to structural and presentation issues.
In order to give you home an advantage that can get
the best response from buyers you need to pay attention to external (or “curb”)
appeal, the condition of the interior as well as the way you present the home
itself. While your home is an important part of the consideration set,
including how much time and effort you put into the preparation process.
Knowing which factors matter to buyers and lead to a closing of a sale requires
working with a professional realtor from Prime Source who have extensive
experience in customizing homes for sale in a variety of markets, locations and
price ranges.
The process of making your home more appealing
Efficiency and smart decision making should be at the center of the process of preparing your home for sale. While major structural investments such as appliances, roofing or doors may be appealing to buyers, they also will subtract from the net sales price you can obtain on the property. With each new decision made, you should consider the return on investment (ROI) from that update. Making minor, detailed investments such as polishing your counter tops, cleaning your windows and re-facing your cabinets can result in a positive ROI – meaning the resulting home price increase will be greater than the upfront investment cost in the upgrade. Since we have substantial data on which updates our represented sellers have made relative to results, we can help craft a more effective path to renovating and cleaning your home in advance of a sale.
The first impression you make in prospective home buyers is particularly important – the curb appeal of your home makes an initial impression that can resonate well beyond its immediate impact. Making some basic modifications to your home’s exterior can result in impressive improvements in performance over time, including proper care of your lawn, landscaping, doors, mailbox and walking paths. Buyers notice these basic adjustments when first visiting your home, and minor investments in improving these conditions can help make your home more welcoming to visitors to your home. Making the right first appearance can make the difference between a sale and a pass – helping you to close on your home in less time so you can continue on with your move. We can help you identify opportunities for improvements in painting, landscaping and repairs that add to the sales price of your home.
In addition to sprucing up the exterior, making
improvements to the layout and appearance of your interior can give your home a
more appealing look. Cleaning up your carpet, space and furniture can make your
home look cleaner, brighter and more attractive to buyers. Taking just a few
hours to get your home professionally cleaned can make a major impression upon
buyers that can result in a much better impression. We can help you navigate the process of organizing your
interior so it is particularly inviting to buyers.
