Preparing to market your home for sale.

When you decide to sell your property, it is critical to understand what buyers are looking for when choosing a home. 

Keller Williams research shows that 71% of buyers consider location important. Unfortunately, this is something you can’t change. However, 50% of buyers consider the condition of your property to be important and this is one area where you do have control. 

• Location – 71% 
• Neighbourhood – 55% 
• Condition – 50% 
• Floor Plan – 35% 
• Updates in Home – 33% 
• Kerb Appeal – 29% 
• Square Foot – 27% 
• Schools – 26% 
• Garden – 22% 
• Kitchen – 21% 

How should you present your property to the market? 

Preparation & Staging 
I will carefully evaluate your property and help you plan for presenting it in the most appealing manner to maximise the value. My job is to ensure we don’t miss anything that could cost you money. We have a network of suppliers including cleaners, stagers, builders, decorators, architects, designers, furniture rental, plumbers, and electricians. This enables us to provide assistance with projects of any size from minor decorating and repair to complete refurbishment. Whilst we are happy to manage the professionals involved in preparing and staging your home, their fees will be charged to you. 

Fixtures & Fittings 
Which fixtures, and fittings will you be taking with you? It’s preferable that you remove any items you wish to keep prior to the photography being produced. This also helps highlight which significant items will remain with the property in any marketing materials. Have a think about items such as carpets, curtains, blinds, light fittings, and kitchen appliances.

Photography & Floor Plans Our professional photographers will contact you to arrange access to your property to take photographs and prepare a floor plan. An EPC can also be completed at this time if you do not already have a current one.
