Houses are actually still selling. In fact, today alone have carried out over 30 viewings across Morecambe and Lancaster. We have been instructed on three new houses to sell. We have over 5 offers in negotiations. The housing market is what you and your estate agent make it. The question is... how can YOU secure that sale on your home?
Today we thought we would share with you 5 simple tips. You don't have to be a client of JDG to try them. We want to share our ideas with everyone, so if you know someone struggling to sell, send them these simple tips!
It is cold out there. Chances are it’s a dull day and it may even be raining. Why not light the fire? Switch on lamps. Keep the heating on for the viewing. Why not buy a scented plug-in. A warm, delicious smelling home will sell much easier than a dank dull and cold property.
If you have put your home up for sale in the Summer, chances are the garden and many accessories around the home highlight this fact. Update your photo’s. Show the home in a different light. If a client has a real fire, I always recommend we photo the room with it lit!
Gardens and yards always need helping hand this time of year. Please don’t neglect it. I know it’s hard with the colder weather, but you can steal a march over your competition. Sweep up leaves. Buy some plants. Holly and other berry producing plants always look great at this time of year.
Get those little household jobs fixed. It will help sell your home and pay dividends later on. Clear out the guttering. Check your roof for any slipped tiles (these could become worse during the winter). Do you have any draughts? If so fix the problem. You don’t want to put a potential buyer off.
This might seem like common sense, but ask your agent what can be done. Suggest with them that they re-photo your home. Ask them for ideas. This, of course, is a two-way conversation. What can you do? What can they do!
