When you wish to sell your home you may feel that you will get a very good price. You will be thinking about the advantages the home has such as location, amenities etc. But a buyer will not have the same attitude; the buyer will wish to lower your asking price. The buyer’s aim would be to lower the price as much as possible and for that they will try all the tricks in the book. If you wish to sell your home fast, then avoid the mistakes given below, as most buyers will use these mistakes to get a benefit.
- The first mistake is to think that your home is the best and everyone would like it. It could be the best house on the planet but the prospective buyer will find faults. The only option available is to ensure that the fault finding is minimized. To achieve that ensure that the house is neat and clean. Ensure that the exteriors are painted. Ensure that the lawn is mowed, no extra equipment like lawn mowers are lying around etc. If the mailbox is rundown, it can spoil the whole look of the house, so make sure the mailbox is also cleaned or replaced with a new one.
- Another common mistake most home owners make is to think that the furniture and other things in the rooms would be liked by one and all. The artefacts, the memorabilia all hold profound value for you but for a buyer it has zilch value. The best thing would be to take all your things in the rooms and rent storage units Long Beach and keep them there. The house which is bare or has just minimum furniture will look big and the buyer will also be able to imagine living there.
- A basic mistake that everyone does is not offering the buyer anything to eat. Many decisions can be made on a dinner table or in the kitchen, so you should ensure that the buyer is able to sit and eat with you. To achieve this you can bake bread or biscuits. The fragrance of the food will be enough to break the ice and you can easily get a sale.
These are just some of the mistakes that you need to avoid. There are others such as overlooking the garage, overlooking the bathroom tiles, even a small chipped tile will be visible to the buyer and they will ask a discount as they would need to change all the tiles. You can just change it easily, so make sure these small mistakes are taken care of.
