The Little Things Matter When Selling Your Home!
When a potential buyer makes the decision to view your home it is important to avoid the little mistakes. You might think your home looks perfect, but a buyer may get distracted from the little things.
Some common reasons why a potentially good buyer might walk away without writing an offer.
- Poor Staging or No Staging at all –
I am always asked “Is staging really that important? “and the simple answer is YES! Staging does a lot for the sale of your home. You don’t always need to hire a stager, sometimes using your own furniture or removing some furniture is enough to do the trick. However, hiring a professional stager is always a good idea as they will help identify and show off the positives of your home. I believe in Staging so much, that I offer it as part of the HaliPad Selling System.
- Clutter –
We hear it all the time, LESS IS MORE! When it comes to selling your home, this is very important. Cluttered spaces can often make people feel uneasy. When a potential buyer is viewing your home, we want nice clean lines from room to room. A cluttered corner or countertop will stay on the buyer’s mind long after they leave your home.
- Little sneaky eye catchers-
These minor imperfections can have a lasting impression on a potential buyer. Is the bathroom tap leaking, mold in corners of the shower tile, hole in the hallway, a water stain from your pets water dish. These minor issues can look like major imperfections to a buyer. They will notice them, and they will focus on them. It is always best to fix the little repairs prior to listing your home. Might not be a big deal to you but could be a deal breaker for a buyer.
- List Price –
Setting the right price is key in any market. It does not matter if it is a seller’s market, buyers market or a balanced market. Listing for the right price is both an art and a science with a lot of things to be considered.
These little things do matter when you are wanting to sell your home. In a reality these are minor imperfections that can easily be attended too.
