SELLING A PROPERTY
Have you ever driven by a home and start day-dreaming of what it must be like to live there? Ever walked through a kitchen and think of all the gourmet meals you can prepare or imagine yourself soaking in a jetted-tub with sweet-smelling potpourri and candles while you wash the day away?
Presenting your home properly allows potential buyers to imagine they already live and entertain there. Trust your instincts and let us guide you through the process. It’s much like a first date; you want to show off all your best features. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes and don’t take it personally. Think about all the changes you can make that would make an immediate improvement, which would help sell your home faster.
- PRICING
- A well-priced house not only sells faster but may actually attract competing bids driving the selling price above the asking price.
- PARTNER WITH US
- First impressions are lasting impressions. We at Rodriguez Realty realize you have quite a lot to deal with and we are here to try and help simplify things for you. We’ll help you prepare your home to show so that it will ultimately sell faster.
- CURB APPEAL
- Enhance your curb appeal through landscaping. Remove dead plants and freshen up with a few flowers but don’t personalize it, keep it simple. The buyer will want to design and make it his own yard.
- DOORWAYS
- From the start, think of creating a warm welcome into your home. Set the tone and keep it light and clean.
- CLEAR THE CLUTTER
- Store extra furniture out of the way. De-clutter as much as possible. Emphasize the openness of your home by creating more space.
- LET THE LIGHT IN
- Remove heavy drapes that block outside views and replace with sheer ones. Remove rugs that cover up tiled or wooden floors. Ensure all light fixtures work and blown bulbs replaced. Turn on lights and brighten up rooms.
- FRESHEN UP
- Freshly painted walls go a long way to making your home feel new and desirable. Keep colours neutral and muted, which will allow the buyer to envision his own favourite colours, furniture and placement of collected artwork.
- KEEP PETS OUT OF THE WAY
- Love me, love my pets does not apply here in selling a house. Keep pets out of the way and definitely out of the house.
- MUSIC MELLOW
- Shut off the music. Keep it quiet and less distracting, help the potential buyer move through the space and focus on all the great and memorable features of the house.
- WORD TO THE WISE
- Leave it to the professionals!!!- Let us showcase your home in your absence; we know the buyer plus it will give them the opportunity to speak freely.
- If you are present, do not discuss price, terms, possession or any other factors with potential buyers. Let us handle the negotiations and bring it to a favourable conclusion for you.
