The Real Estate Swami says follow the experts for enlightened advice on selling your house. They will not lead you astray.
Whether a seller is listing a home or an ashram for sale, following certain paths will entice buyers to make an offer.
Experts at HGTV have several pointers:
1. Keep the first impression the best impression. Make sure the curb appeal is welcoming with a well-trimmed lawn, fresh flowers and a clean front door. Make sure the entryway is inviting to visitors and not cluttered with coats and car keys. The swami says less is more.
2. Once a house is listed for sale, agree to show it whenever a Realtor calls. Keep it ready to show, with beds made, dishes put away and bathrooms sparkling.
3. Forget a massive makeover. Do projects that pay off including fresh paint on the walls, clean curtains, updated cabinet handles and fixing leaky faucets. Spending money will not bring happiness.
4. Put personal items in storage. The family photos, the knick-knack collections, the sports trophies all need to be boxed up. Once the home is de-personalized, a buyer can imagine living there. Each soul wants to live in their own home.
5. Finally, embrace the light. Clean windows, change lampshades, trim the bushes to let in sunshine – if a house is bright and cheery, buyers will be inclined to make an offer.
The swami sees more home sales in the future if sellers follow this path. For more tips on selling a home, see www.hgtv.com/reale-state/10best-kept-secrets-for-selling-a-home/index.html
