Increase Your Home’s Value: Expert Strategies for a Successful Sale
Sharing the three most important things you need to do when selling.
1. Make a good first impression. The truth is that the first look can make or break your sale. Potential buyers have already judged your house before they walk in the door—and in today’s market, they’ve even made judgments before that when they saw photos online! Therefore, put in the work to get high-quality, professional photos, as well as improve your curb appeal. This can be as easy as mowing the lawn and putting in fresh flowers.
"Some effort is necessary, but a little bit can go a long way."
2. Display the value of your space. Start by decluttering your home. Potential buyers don’t want to see your photos and knick-knacks, but they do want to see that there’s plenty of room to store their things. Therefore, clearing out some of your closets, for example, can make a big difference. Also, consider professional staging and high-quality lighting. These things will showcase the great parts of your home.
3. Work with a trusted Realtor. Who you work with matters. Unfortunately, too many people just work with the first agent they talk to, who says they can get a good price, and then end up suffering because of that. You need to work with an experienced professional with a top-notch marketing plan who is great at negotiations and can help you understand the current market to get the most money possible.
There are many things you can work on to get top dollar for your property, but those are the three most important ones.
