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.

Dispose of trash as soon as possible. There’s no point in going through the exercise and then letting it all sit in piles. You’re just creating a bigger mess than when you started out.
Hire a home inspector to do an audit on your house. By uncovering the defects at this stage you will have the opportunity to fix them before your buyer or the buyer’s inspector finds them. You get to control which problems you want to address, who you hire, and what materials to use. Compare this with the buyer discovering them. An allowance that usually exceeds the cost of the repair will be asked for. Correct the problems now and you could save thousands of dollars later.
The condition of the floor is one of the most important factors buyers consider when shopping for a new house. Buyers would prefer to pay a little extra for a clean floor that will last them a long time. By all means, do a thorough job cleaning your floor first but if it is worn, stained, ripped or buckled, you should replace it.
Lighting: clean all light covers or diffusers until they sparkle. Don’t forget to clean your lampshades. You’ll be surprised how much extra light you’ll be getting just by cleaning.
Mistake #4: Believing that you have excellent taste and that everyone sees your house the way you do. Wrong! We all see things differently. De-personalize, neutralize paint colours, and display tamed artworks that appeal to a wider audience.
