Prepare To Sell 2

 

The decision to sell your house involves a lot of activities. The most important of all of them is cleaning the entire house along with the garden. The buyer’s first impression will be the last impression. Thus, putting all efforts to get your house to look tidy and most importantly well-maintained plays crucial. Let us help you a step forward towards selling your house with the checklist for cleaning.

 

Cleaning

 

 

Tip 1: Get your home a deep clean

 A clean and fresh house gives the impression to the intending buyer that your house is well taken care of and adds to the feel-good factor. 

 

 

Tip 2: Unclutter kitchen countertops

 Give your kitchen a spacious look by uncluttering your kitchen top, which will also make it look tidier. 

 

 

Tip 3: Unclutter the entire house

Remove any unwanted items from your rooms. The bigger and more spacious it looks, the better the perception to the buyer it is.

 

 

Tip 4: Keep your floors uncluttered

Make sure there is nothing left on the floor while your buyer arrives. Leaving items like toys, pet bowls, and beddings around the house makes it look disheveled and chaotic.

 

 

Tip 5: Keep door handles and knobs shining

 The first impression is the last impression. A dull-looking or oil-smeared door handle can turn off potential clients. Use an oil-removal (liquid) soap to wipe all doorknobs to keep them squeaky clean before your buyers arrive.

 

 

Tip 6: Keep all windows clean

 The windows are part of the exterior of your house and your visitors will be put off by a dusty window before they even see what the inside is like. Keep them clean! 

 

 

Tip 7: Use air fragrances

 Air fragrances/fresheners help to mask that unique smell every home has. Be sure not to use something that’s too strong or it may cause choking. It adds to the freshness quotient. 

 

 

Tip 8: Keep the garage tidy

 This is one place buyers inspect during a viewing. You should keep it clean and tidy by removing all unwanted items and properly stacking the remaining items. 

 

 

 

 

 

Garden

 

 

Tip 1: Keep your lawn low and tidy

 Create your first impression by mowing your lawn. Leaving your lawn overgrown and bushy doesn’t make for a good first impression.

 

 

Tip 2: Weed your garden

 The garden, just like the lawn, should be kept from being overgrown and bushy. Every part of the house should look properly taken care of. 

 

 

Tip 3: Make sure your garden is low-maintenance

These days a lot of people are too busy to trim flowers or mow lawns. So, to increase the appeal of your house, keep your garden as low-maintenance as possible, they can change as per their wish. 

 

 

Tip 4: Fix the broken fence

 Your fence makes up the exterior of your home and if you have got a damaged fence, it is very crucial that you have it fixed.

 

 

Tip 5: Plant fresh flowers

 Decorate your house by planting fresh flowers around the house. It gives your home a colorful and welcoming appeal.

 

 

Tip 6: Keep your bushes trimmed

 If you have bushes around your home, keeping them trimmed is important for creating the right impression.

 

 

Tip 7: Install decking

 Installing a decking can add a 2% value to your home. Though a very small value but it’s enough to sway the decision of potential buyers.

 

 

Tip 8: Renovate your patio

 You should either totally replace your patio or renovate it and make it even on all sides. Remember, your patio also adds to your home’s curb appeal. 

 

 

Tip 9: Fix/install outside lighting

 Buyers love a well-lit house. Outside lighting is a very important factor for a great appeal. 

 

 

Tip 10: Repaint fences and sheds

 Get your old fences and sheds, a fresh brush of wood stain or paint as this adds to the glamour of your maintained garden.
