Presenting your home for sale

• Ask a favor!

  First and foremost, ask a trusted friend to inspect your home as a buyer would and request they highlight any flaws in the presentation.

• Clean

  A clean house shows you take pride in your house and look after it, which will reassure the potential buyer that your home has been taken care of and is a sound investment

• Lighting

  Prior to property inspections ensure that there is plenty of light, have curtains and blinds pulled open. Also using lamps instead of over head lights can create a softer ambiance.

• Use focal points

  You may have strong tastes but these don’t suit everyone and can scare buyers off! Most buyers prefer natural and earthy tones, and it makes rooms look more spacious.

• Organise

  Rooms in the house - give each room a purpose or function, this allows buyers to see the full potential of the property.

• Outside

  The outside of your home is the first impression a buyer will have, so make sure it’s a positive one. Tidy up the garden, clean your windows and give the outside a lick of paint.
