Tips for Preparing Your Home for Sale

In order to ensure that you make the biggest return on your investment in the shortest amount of time possible, there are several things that you should consider before you list your Sydney home for sale. Perhaps the single most important item on your to do list should be performing a building inspection. Sydney building inspections will allow you to see if there are any major pressing issues that need to be addressed prior to placing your home on the market. Fixing these issues beforehand will help you to avoid any potential buyers from becoming discouraged and deciding against making the home their own.

Some of the improvements that Sydney building inspections may suggest include applying a fresh coat of paint, replacing light bulbs, making sure your landscaping is clean and tidy, and changing your furnace filter. You will also want to make sure that there are no pets in the way when you have your building inspection completed or when the real estate agent brings potential buyers by for a viewing. Your driveway, footpaths, and gates should also be in good condition, and should be repaired or replaced if they are not.

In addition to making the necessary repairs that you may discover through building reports, it is also necessary that you organise and clean the home thoroughly from top to bottom. When a home is neat and organised, it can make the home look spacious and inviting to people who come to look at it. An orderly appearance will also allow them to more easily envision themselves living there, and picture in their mind’s eye where they would put their own furniture.

It goes without saying that the very first thing that people see is the outside of your home, so do not disregard this area as not needing to be cleaned. Regardless of what any building inspections say, you will want to make sure that the exterior of your home is pleasing to look at. Rake up any leaves and debris from the garden, make sure the bushes are trimmed, mow the lawn, and hose down the driveway. If you complete all of these suggestions, there will be little doubt that you will be able to impress potential buyers right from the get go. It is well known that the first impression is a lasting impression and you will not want your home’s first impression to be anything less than perfect.
