How you can help the sale of your home
Getting an estate agent will certainly help when you list your property for sale in the East Rand, but this is not the only thing you should do. We have compiled some helpful tips that could ensure that your home sale moves swiftly and smoothly.
Hiring an estate agent is not all that you have to do when listing your property for sale in the East Rand. Many people will make this common mistake, and can often see their home spend months waiting for a buyer to bite. However, there are some simple things that you can do to assist in speeding up the sale process, and it comes at a low cost with some added elbow grease.
Keep it clean
Some of the main areas of focus during the buying process are the kitchen and bathrooms. These parts of the home can often make or break a deal, and for this reason you need to ensure that they are in a clean condition at all times. Even if you are still living in the house, buyers are unlikely to overlook an untidy bathroom or dirty kitchen just because the house still has tenants.
Call the repair man
Deal with those odd little fixes that you have been putting off. Broken light switches, hanging cupboard doors or leaking taps will catch the eye of buyers. Not only will it give them the impression that the home is not looked after properly, it will also give them ammo for negotiating a better price.
Make some space
Clutter can spoil natural movement through the home, and also give a potential buyer the wrong impression. A cluttered home feels far less spacious and just looks untidy.
Whack the weeds
An untidy entrance or garden can end a potential deal before the buyer even gets to the door. Make sure that the grass is cut, and that any mess is cleared while your home is on show.
To compile your plan of action, try and do a test viewing as a buyer by walking through and inspecting your own home, or ask a friend to help with an honest opinion.
