Presentation tips for Balgownie real estate owners

Presentation is king.

So lets start with first impressions and that means how does your property look from the street.

Give it a test go for a walk around the block and then come back to your place and say how do we compare presentation wise with our neighbours.

You need any potential buyers to be sufficiently impressed from the street to stop the car and get out and take a closer look; remember many buyers will be busily checking out several different properties in one day.

You have to impress them enough from the street and then they will get out and seriously consider your property and hopefully arrange an inspection.

Any real estate agent knows that if they do not get any inspections they have almost no chance of selling that property.

Consider your Balgownie real estate as trying to romance a buyer or trying to find someone to love it.

So just as if when you or I am trying to romance a potential new partner you make your self look your best so any real estate you want to sell has to look its best.

Rightly or wrongly first impressions count.

So if you want to impress potential real estate buyers prepare your property so it looks fantastic.

You are presenting your house to find someone to love it so spruce it up.

The good news here is you don’t have to spend a fortune to achieve the sort of results I am talking about, keeping the lawns mowed and edges done is basic stuff but while you are on the market they are essential.

Tiding up all garden areas particularly in the front yard and maybe a lick of paint around the front entrance and doorway are all inexpensive.

A new welcome mat for the front door at approximately $20- $25 is a great investment.

Inside your house remove clutter particularly from hallways and access ways, try and view your property as if you were a potential buyer and remove the sort of things that would hinder you from moving freely about the place. It’s the little things that count here but excellent presentation really can make a huge difference in how your property is accepted by the buyers.

As an agent, myself and my colleagues will be happy to give you some advice here, we know the properties that will sell fast and for substantially higher prices; ultimately it is the ones that are presented correctly.

Again the good news is you don’t have to call in some lifestyle tv show and spend tens of thousands of dollars.

I guarantee the average Australian home’s sale price could be improved by 5-10% by just simple tips of removing clutter, freshening up with a coat of paint where needed and basic stuff like letting in plenty of natural light and fresh air.

Open the curtains blinds and blinds and let in as much light as you can, buyers love natural light windows.

If it’s a cold day put the heater on and make the place feel homely.

Your goal is to present a home that has been and is still being loved. Not another cold heartless property that nobody wants, and that’s why its up for sale.

Use emotion to make your property feel like a home, nobody wants a house but everybody wants a home.
