Professionals Burleigh 
So you’ve made the decision to sell your home, congratulations! It can seem like a daunting process, but the outcomes will be worth it. In preparation for your upcoming open homes, the team at Professionals Burleigh have put together some tips to get your home looking fresh and sparkling for potential buyers.
Clean and Declutter
Clean your house and then clean it some more! It may seem obvious but giving your home a deep clean and declutter will not only benefit you but will get your home ready for the keen buyers soon to be inspecting the property. This is a great opportunity to say goodbye to preloved goods, sell some unwanted items and clear out the spare room.
Remove Family Photos
For security and privacy, remove family photos where possible. You should be preparing your home to SELL. Think minimalistic and simple, and of course clean and tidy.
Secure Valuables
It’s important to pack away any valuables and put them in a safe place. Your agent will be vigilant checking people as they enter and exit the home, but we highly recommend you put special items out of sight. The best option is to take them out of the house and to a friend or relative’s home where they’ll be safe and secure while the property is open for inspections.
Open your home
The home is open for inspections so open everything up! Leave windows open for fresh air and natural light, open doors and pull back curtains. You’d be amazed how light and fresh your home will feel by doing so.
Candles and Diffusers
Create that homely feel from the minute a potential buyer walks through the front door. Light candles in your home, set up an oil diffuser, get the property smelling and feeling fresh! You want to sell your home, so presentation is vital.
Pets
Where possible take any pets out of the home during inspections and remove any trace of animals too. Clean pet hair, remove litter trays and pet bowls, you should clear anything that would suggest a pet lives in the home for the sake of good presentation.
Keep these tips in mind for your upcoming open homes and trust your agent during the process.
