What are 5 inexpensive tricks to sell my house faster?
1. Get rid of clutter.
Prospective buyers need to be able to envision themselves living in the home. They can’t do that if your family’s belongings are everywhere they look. Purge closets, take down all family photos from the walls, remove all magnets and doodads from your refrigerator, take decorations and chotchkes off all surfaces including kitchen counters. Remove at least third of your furniture. Hold a garage sale, sell the items online, or put them into storage.
2. Pay attention to curb appeal.
Clean up the front door area and entryway. Place or plant yellow flowers by the front door. Keep your car washed so it looks good parked in the driveway. Make sure the front of your house is clean, open and inviting at all times.
3. Keep the colors neutral.
Prospective buyers want to see neutral colors in paint, carpet and curtains. Stick to beige, light grey or off-white.
4. If your budget doesn’t include the purchase of new kitchen appliances, hire an experienced professional to clean them like new with an acid that removes hard grime from stovetops.
5. For the open house make sure the interior of your house is light and bright. all curtains open, all windows clean and sparkling, fresh baked bread in the oven. It is best for the owners not to be present during an open house. An owner might inadvertently say something that could cost them thousands when negotiating begins.
