Before you bring your property to market, you have a real opportunity to enhance the value of your home.

In the latest of our Knowledge Book series, Belinda Grundy from BG Property Styling, highlights ways to draw in as many potential purchasers as possible, so your property sells in the shortest amount of time, for the maximum dollar.

Entitled Styling Tips, the ebook is divided into six sections and talks you through the different steps and process of preparing your home for profit. As Belinda says, “You don’t get a second chance to make a first positive impression.”

Adjust your thinking

This is perhaps the most important step in preparing your home for sale. When you decide to sell, it is imperative you see your home as a honey pot, and the selling process is a means of attracting buyers to the honey pot. You don’t want anything in your home to detract from buyer interest. Your task therefore is to emotionally engage potential buyers with your home. Potential buyers will have a checklist of what they want in a property, and if you are to gain the highest price; you have to cater to what the potential buyer wants, not what you want.

Survey the market

Belinda points out you have to understand the market and what contemporary buyers want. Remember this is not about you – it’s about them! To get the best possible price you need at least two buyers to emotionally engage with your property. In this section, Belinda explains ways in which you can survey the market to find out exactly what current buyers are looking for.

Do you need to renovate?

If your property is well presented and renovated and agents can talk about your property excitedly, there will be a buzz in the air and lots of people interested in buying. Belinda points out the trick is knowing where to spend your money, so your renovations bring in a maximum return. She explains what’s worth doing and why.
