5 Common Mistakes Home Sellers Make
Selling your home is a challenging task. Not only do you want to impress potential buyers, but you need to prove that your home is worth the price it’s listed for! There are many factors to consider, like home staging, yard cleanup, brightening of the interiors, and so much more.
If you’re thinking about selling your home, here are five common mistakes that sellers often make:
Forgetting the Yard
Your front yard is your buyer’s first impression. If you skip on clearing your yard out, you will not impress buyers. We recommend taking that extra time to make sure you trim your shrubs and manicure your lawn.
Why?
Suppose your lawn looks like it’s well maintained (even if you stage this). In that case, potential buyers will assume that the home is well cared for, automatically increasing their interest.
Dark Interiors
A touch-up of paint on your interior walls will do wonders to the sell-ability of your home.
By not painting a fresh coat, you’ll leave any scuffs and dirt marks you’ve made over the past few years. Paint can work wonders, including added neutrality and brightening up your rooms.
A few hundred dollars in interior paint may increase the value of your home more than you think!
Not Cleaning the Home
There’s no faster turn-off than grime and gunk in a bathroom or kitchen.
You want your home to look its best, so leaving it uncleaned is a huge mistake.
Instead, take the time to do some deep cleaning and make all your fixtures sparkle. If you don’t have time to put toward these tasks, then hire a professional to help. It’ll be worth it.
Missing Out On Curb Appeal
How does your front door look? What about your garage door?
If it’s full of scuffs and in desperate need of some painting, then you might leave your buyers less than impressed. We would always encourage investing in replacing these items or having them painted professionally before your home goes on the market.
That kind of curb appeal could positively impact your sell-ability and your home’s overall value. Skipping this step not only would decrease your price point but also put off buyers!
If you’re thinking about selling your home, it’s worth investing some time, effort, and money. There is incredible value in staging your home for selling, from the interior touches to the outside yard and curb appeal.
Skipping the Staging
Homebuyers are often looking to invest in a home for their family. By not staging your home, you are missing out on a simple yet key way to impress buyers and convince them that your home is the one. Buyers want to see how livable your home is!
Suppose you don’t stage your home and, and instead, you keep it to a unique taste and style. In that case, you could potentially discourage your buyer if they have completely different taste.
Staging has been proven to help sell properties faster and for more money!
