Home Interiors - make all the difference to a sale

Property presentation works to the advantage of the vendor for a number critical reasons.

Buyers often find it difficult to visualise how their furniture & belongings will look in another setting. Especially in a setting where a feature wall for example commands what colour or décor will fit into the space, or where personal belongings and clutter are too distracting for the buyer to experience the all important psychological process of imagining themselves and their belongings fitting into the space.

Armed with the right information you can make changes that will radically improve the chances of selling your home quickly and create a perception from the very first impression that your home is situated in a much higher price bracket than previously otherwise considered.

For most people their home is their greatest asset, when it comes time to sell don’t leave the result to chance. There are many situations that are beyond your control, this is not one of them.

Five steps that will make the difference:
1. De-Clutter
2. Neutralize
3. De-Personalize
4. Repair or Replace
5. Create an attractive focal point

These simple solutions were used to present the following spaces. You’ll notice in these Before & After photos the influence these simple changes have on the look, feel and price perception of these properties.

Buyers need to be able to imagine themselves living in your home, it's an essential part of the buying process. This is actually very difficult to do when a home is cluttered with another family's personal belongings, in particular family photos, religious artifacts and displayed hobbies or collectors items. Its imperative that buyer's are not so distracted by some-one else's things that they can't begin to envisage how their things will fit in.

The key to achieving an attractive space is to stand at the door of the room to see what a buyer sees when they enter the room. By creating an attractive scene it draws the buyer into the space & done properly will have them wanting to stay.

Bathrooms in particular are a gathering place for very personal items. Remove all personal items from the tops of vanity units, add some attractive accessories but it's important to keep it simple. Be sure to store the removed items neatly inside a cupboard so they're out of sight but easy to access when you need them. It's important to ensure those cabinets are clean & well organised though because people do look inside. There are some really practical & attractive storage solutions available that make this easy enough to achieve & maintain if necessary.

We all have our favorite colours, and spashing that colour around our homes makes us feel good in our surrounders, it's all just a matter of personal taste. It becomes a problem however when it comes time to sell and many vendors make the mistake of leaving it to chance that someone with similar taste to theirs will come along and fall in love with it just as they did. The problem with that is "Not everybody likes pink",especially when it's going to clash with their favorite orange/green/purple or even pink lounge chair. The quickest way to get a property sold for the price it deserves is to target the broadest possible range of buyers and the way to do this is to keep colour schemes nuetral. Colour can always be added using accessories and buyers can usually look past colour preferences that are not permanent fixtures. Many cannot however look past the more permanent colour issues especially in the bigger surface areas such as walls.
