House on
the Market? How to Get that Extra Dollar........ Continued
Have the stereo playing soft subtle background music, just enough to disguise the constant hum of traffic outside..
Check that all your door and window hardware is in working order, no sticky doors allowed. This provides a good impression of a well maintained house.
To give the air of space, remove most of your knick knacks from horizontal surfaces, pack them away for now. Remove any other clutter, the swiss ball, yoga mats, exercycle from the living room! Any furniture that is not immediately required, these ideas will all make your room feel bigger.
Try and get your kids house trained, even for the time that your house is on the market, it can be stressful enough if you have to do a quick tidy up before anyone comes to view your home, if you have to pick up toys etc, then it can be even worse.
Try giving them one space to contain their mess.
Pets - this can be a big turn off for some people. Make sure that you keep their food out of sight. This should ensure that flies or insects don't congregate around the pets bowl. Plus the smell can often be unpleasant, especially if your cat enjoys a feed of sardines!
Do the major recycling job around the house. Clear away any rubbish empty all wastepaper bins inside, nappy bins, recycling bins, green waste, and have a garage sale to get rid off all that stuff you've been hoarding to use on a rainy day! The rainy day has come and it is still there so why not recycle it and let someone else get some use from it.
Put fresh dry matching towels in all the bathrooms, make sure mirrors are crystal clean. Don't let there be any drippy taps and don't have a shower before the buyers come through as this will make the room feel damp.
To create a mood in your home, light some mildly scented candles in the living room, scatter some designer cushions and a throw for effect, turn on your side table lamps and open up a coffee table book.
In the winter season, have the fire going as this will make the home look and feel cosy. If you don't have a fire, then turn the heaters on to ensure the home is warm. In the summer season turn on the air conditioning or fans to make the house feel comfortable well before the prospective buyer gets there.
Keep up the maintenance, mow the lawns, trim the edges, remove all weeds and you should be ready to get those extra few dollars for a well presented and maintained home.
Good luck and happy selling!
