Exterior appeal

People have different personalities; some people like to fit in with their surroundings, while others like to stand out. This is often reflected in the homes we keep both internally and externally. When you're selling your home, the exterior is the first thing buyers see, so it pays to make a strong first impression. Decide what exterior personality you have and enhance the look of your home in that direction. If you want to fit in with the neighbors, for instance, then paint the door the same color, otherwise, make it stand out. Don't forget to mow the lawn.


Interior Appeal 

Imagine you are a buyer walking into your home for the first time, what impression does it make? For this to work, you may have to step back from your life and try to be as objective as possible. Not everyone will have the same tastes as you. In general, it pays to make everything as neutral as possible; neutral colors for the walls, plain furniture and modern and contemporary rugs. This allows buyers to visualize what they might do with the place. You can enhance your chances of a sale by reducing the clutter and endearing the home is tidy.


Stay out the way


When buyers come to view a property, they arrive with a real estate agent. They expect the property to be empty so they can freely look around and comment on the style and decor choices without anyone looking on or listening in. Of course, you will want to know what their impressions are, but your property stands a much better chance of selling if you leave the sale to a professional estate agent. After you've set everything up, go out to lunch or spend some time at a friend's house, the estate agent will give you all the relevant information.


Repair, Restore, Revamp
Potential buyers will want to see the property as it is that means warts and all. However, any damage to the house, such as cracked walls or damp, as well as less severe issues, like broken light bulbs and old fixings, can create options about the property and influence the sale. If you're the sort of person who doesn't often fix up your home, now is the time for a makeover. Go on the Internet and look up how-to videos, make sure you sort any leaky taps and overgrown hedges. 


Use Natural Light Where Possible


Natural light is always a great way to sell a home; you can even put it in the real estate advert and improve your chances of a quick sale for a higher price. Although not all properties have excellent natural light, there are ways you can adapt your property to give the impression of extra light. If you have tall windows, take down the curtains instead of simply opening them. This will create the illusion of more light, in darker corners of the house, set up temporary lamps with cold light bulbs to make it seem brighter and more natural
