A Surefire Way to Attract More Attention from Buyers

If there’s one thing all home sellers have in common, it’s that they want to sell their home quickly and at the highest possible price. For this to happen, you need to attract the attention of potential home buyers, so that they fall in love with your property and want to snap it up quickly — before another highly motivated buyer does.

The question then becomes, what is the best way to grab the eyes (and hearts) of buyers?

The answer is improving the condition of your home.

And by “improving” we mean doing those things that make your home appear cozy, functional, bright, well-maintained, welcoming, and inviting. You want every buyer who comes to your open house or for a private showing to be eager to put in an offer.

Not sure where to start? Here are some key improvements to consider making before selling your home.

Perform any necessary repairs

Leaky faucets, squeaky door hinges, burned out lightbulbs, and anything else that isn’t in tip-top shape needs to get taken care of before your house goes on the market. As minor as they may seem to you, these little inconveniences can really add up in the minds of your prospective home buyers and dull the overall impact you’re trying to make.

While you’re at it, consider applying a fresh coat of paint to any rooms that feel dull or dingy. The idea is to get your buyers excited at the thought of moving into a fresh, new space — not sighing at all the repair work and upgrading they’ll have to do.

Renovate key areas

The kitchen and the bathroom are two key areas that can often make or break a buyer’s decision to put in an offer on a property. If yours are rundown or dated, consider investing in renovation work so that they make an absolutely dazzling impression. The money that you put into renovating is often made up (and then some) by a higher final sale price for your home, so in most cases, it’s well worth it. If you can’t undertake a major overhaul, you can give these areas a “facelift” by upgrading to new appliances and fixtures.

Have your home professionally staged

Sometimes, it’s a smart move to call in professional help to get your home looking its absolute best. An experienced home stager will know exactly how to get the most out of each space in your home through strategic décor and furnishings. It’s important to strike the right balance between “blank slate” and “lived in” so that buyers can see themselves living in the space without being turned off by interior design that isn’t to their specific taste.
