8 Inexpensive Tips To Get Your Home Sold!
1.) Invest in a deep house cleaner before you list it
This is a HUGE deal. Having a quick sale of your house means having a ‘brand new to them’ house. New home buyers will see everything that you don’t.
– Have your windows professionally cleaned to give your home a lighter feel.
2.) Buy fresh white towels and bath mats at the Dollar Store or Walmart
Buy fresh white towels and bath mats for all of the bathrooms in your home.
Lay out your towels on the sinks to give it a spa like feeling, and replace old bath mats with the new ones.
3.) Clear Clutter and Family pictures
Staging your home helps you highlight your home’s strengths, hide its weaknesses and helps it appeal to buyers. It’s important to remove clutter and depersonalize your home.
Removing the clutter gives your home the feeling of having more space. Depersonalizing your home will give home buyers the opportunity to imagine living in your home and making their own memories there rather than taking a tour down your family’s memory lane.
4.) Highlight accents in the house
Selling features like Double sinks or a Jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom or a big beautiful open kitchen!
5.) Bake Chocolate chip cookies right before the showing
You’ve probably heard this one before. Bake some sort of baked good right before your showing. This helps people feel like your house is a home, makes it inviting and smells delicious!
They even have cookie scented candles, so if in a pinch you can burn one of those before the showing.
6.) Turn the heat up a few more degrees (especially in the winter)
Do not keep your house cold during a showing (unless it is in the summer). You want them to come inside and feel refreshed.
If you have central AC, make sure that it is turned on during the showing. If you are selling a house during a colder time of year, turn your heat up a few extra degrees. This will make them feel warm and right at home.
7.) Create a welcome note
Creating a welcome note is another way to add appeal to a buyer. Type up a letter that tells the buyer more about your neighborhood, attractions, and more.
8.) Pack up unnecessary items into moving boxes
Last but not least. Pack up things you don’t need and stage your home. Give your home a clean, minimalist appearance.
