A focus on the presentation of your home or investment property can be crucial when selling with the goal to attract as many buyers as possible in a competitive eastern suburbs real estate market. The first impression of a property through the photography and open homes can be critical.

Here are some important tips to make your property stand out.

Curb Appeal

Improving the exterior with a fresh coat of paint, new plants or an outdoor setting is first, as this is what buyers will see first.

Decluttering

Removing as many small items as possible will help relax the human eye and buyers imagine themselves living there. Remove any personal items and keep furniture to a minimum.

Cleaning

A thorough cleaning is recommended. Especially steam cleaning of carpets, floors and windows to allow clear light in. Hiring professional will go a long way and allow you to focus on other important aspect of the sale.

Neutral Colours

When deciding on colours of paint or furniture hire or style, neutral tones are preferred to appeal to the masses and also to achieve a modern and spacious feel.

Furniture Staging

Organising the furniture to highlight space throughout the home is important in aiding the prospective purchaser seeing themselves living in the property as most cannot “paint a picture!”

Maximise Light

Opening windows and blinds may let light in, but conducting open homes at the right time when natural sun light enters the living areas is even better.

Highlight Features

It is important in the photography and the furniture staging to emphasize key selling points such as open plan kitchen and living areas, big backyards or great views.

Temperature

Ensure the home is comfortable. Not too hot or cold. Use of any air conditioning or heating is advised. Open a window on a warm day, close it on a cold one.

Professional Photography

High quality photography is essential for an online presence. Be careful not to over sell the property by over-editing the photos.

Atmosphere

Use fresh flowers, fruit or even lighting a candle can help create a welcoming ambience.

Location Benefits

Highlight all the nearby amenities, including transport, schools, parks and cafes. This is why people buy property.

Repairs

Address any maintenance issues or anything that needs repairing before the buyers see it.

These steps will help your property stand out and attract more interest from potential buyers. For further in depth information on these keys points I have touched on, Leave Us Your Contacts and I will be in touch.
