Revitalizing

You have decluttered, done all the necessary repairs, and cleaned your house inside and out. Believe it or not, you are already ahead of most other people who are putting their houses on the market. Now the chance your house will sell is much higher than it once was, but you might not get the best price. The reason is that buyers, realistically or not, expect your house to be in good repair and clean to begin with. How can it be anything else? To make them pay top dollars you need to wow them. You need to revitalize your house.

Revitalizing, as we will show you, is not remodeling, which is usually expensive and delays the selling of your house. While remodeling has its place, it’s not always practical like they make it out on home and garden TV shows. Rather, focus on small, inexpensive improvements that yield big results.

Bombard the buyers with nice imageries of your house, inside and outside. You want them to linger as long as possible. The longer they stay, the stronger the emotional bond becomes. Once they connect at this level, an offer isn’t far off.

Revitalizing starts with improving your curb appeal, follow up with lighting, and painting.  Only then can you start staging your house for sale.

Box infrequently used items: clothes, shoes, books, CDs and DVDs, cookware, small appliances, etc. Clear out all the stuff from your linen closet, kitchen cupboards and cabinets but for the essentials for day-to-day survival. You need to learn to live on bare necessities while selling your house.
Fences: negotiate to split the cost with your neighbor when replacing or repairing a shared fence.
When you have a smell that refuses to go away, consider renting an ozone machine. It’s best to hire a professional as you need to be out of the house for a few days. In the worst case scenario you will need to repaint your walls and replace the underlay and the carpet.
Take stock of the colours of your exterior walls, trim, shutters, garage door, and fence. If the colours do not appeal to the masses or the paint has faded with age, a new coat of paint will bring it back to life. Minimally, the trim items and the front of the house must look sharp.
Mistake #5: Focusing too much on expensive remodeling as opposed to making small improvements to help sell your house. You can save thousands by focusing on the little things.
