You can improve your chances of getting offers and selling your home in the least amount of time for the best possible price by doing a few things. Whether it is a buyers’, a sellers’ or a balanced market there are some ways to make the best first impression.

Clean and Declutter:

Clean, clean, and clean some more! You might not be able to stage each room in your home.However, it is vital to ensure each space is cleaned and decluttered. Ensure that counters, carpets, flooring, and appliances are spotless! This not only signals pride of ownership, but it helps display the potential of the spaces to buyers.

Depersonalize:

Make sure to depersonalize while you’re working through and clean your spaces. Ideally, family photos, kids’ drawings, etc, should be removed or replaced. This will appeal more to potential buyers and help them focus on the home they are viewing.

Focus on Key Spaces:

The primary areas in your home are your living room, kitchen, dining room, and master bedroom. If you are not able to get to each room, these are the ones you should focus on to ensure your home is represented as best as possible.

Consider a Fresh Coat:

Did you know? According to a renovation investment report, 36% of buyers prefer a fresh coat of paint! This can go a long way to making your home look new and revitalized.

Boost Curb Appeal: While you’re staging your home, don’t forget about curb appeal! The exterior of your home may be even more important for first impressions. Just as it is key for the interior to be spic and span and minimalistic, the outside is the first thing a buyer sees. For first impressions, a good place to start would be renting a power washer to scrub down your driveway and exterior siding.

Whether you are in Courtenay, Comox, Regina or Halifax, you cannot discount the importance of making a good first impression when potential buyers come to view your property. It may well be the first and last thing they think about before deciding which home to make an offer on.
