PREPARING THE PROPERTY FOR SALE: 3 SIMPLE RULES

21/07/2022

When deciding to sell a property, in order to make a good first impression on the potential buyer it is a good idea to prepare the house for sale by following a few steps that can greatly increase the chances of success in a short time.

In order to understand how to prepare the property for sale it is however always best to turn to the experience of professionals in the field, such as estate agents or consultants.

Let's take a look at some tips that your trusted real estate agent would certainly give you and which represent a basis for preparing your property for sale in the best possible way

Rule no. 1: clean, remove superfluous objects and organise the rooms to take good photos too

The first approach that potential customers have with your property for sale is visual and usually takes place remotely by computer after a search by viewing the photos offered by the estate agency.

The need for clear and beautiful images of your property therefore goes hand in hand with the need to thoroughly clean and remove all superfluous objects within the rooms.

At the same time, any spaces that are empty and used for storage must be reorganised so that everything in the property does not appear to be left to its own devices. Of course, these operations are time-consuming, which is why you can rely on cleaning agencies or other people who professionally clear rooms, houses or cellars.

In the same direction also goes the need to increase the 'warmth' of the property, tastefully furnishing the rooms with objects that are functional to the aesthetics, without, however, exaggerating: for example, a beautiful lamp with bedside table and book next to the bed will succeed in making the sleeping area unforgettable in the eyes of a first-time observer.

Rule number 2: fix everything that is broken or malfunctioning

Another aspect that few people often focus on is not to keep broken or malfunctioning objects in the photos and in the house in case, after an initial contact, the potential buyer wants to come and view the property for sale.

Preparing the property to be sold in fact means taking into account all the peculiarities, trivialities that are often underestimated but which are fundamental and which can make the difference between a deal closed with satisfaction and a potential sale missed by little.

Rule number 3: exploit emotions

Finally, it is useful to present the property in a way that makes it 'exciting' for the potential buyer.

Starting with the furnishings and the organisation of the space, the person viewing the house must be able to imagine his or her life as the owner of the property, a task which - if effectively carried out - will make it much easier to overcome any emotional resistance.


Conclusions

Preparing the property for sale by following these three simple rules is certainly a first step to increasing one's chances of selling a home.

In a competitive and extremely specialised market such as the property market, however, where the sums involved are often considerable and the time required to follow all the steps involved in a purchase or sale can be truly conspicuous, it is always advisable to turn to professionals with consolidated and recognised experience, to whom you can entrust your property with complete peace of mind.
