Real estate agent tips to boost your sale price.Selling real estate the right way can vary, depending on particular circumstances but there are some consistent rules that if followed will make your property a lot more attractive to potential buyers and will boost your sale price. Real estate agent advice no. 1. Let in the light!Light is essential if it doesn't exist look for ways to create it. Natural light is best but you can use lamps or skylights in dark areas. |
 |
So open the blinds and curtains and let
the light stream in, if there is a tree or shrub shading a window prune
it back
and let in more light.
Think about a retail jewelry store and how they put lights on display cabinets, you can also highlight feature walls, paintings etc with good lighting.
Buyers Love bright rooms so as a seller give them as much light as you can.
Real estate agent advice no. 2. Remove clutter!I mentioned this on preparing your house for sale page but just reminder open up hallways and doorways. Remove excess furniture as a room crowded with furniture will only make it seem smaller. Potential buyers are trying to picture where there things will fit and if you have to much of your "stuff" cluttering the place up it is harder for them to picture themselves living there. |
Buyers tend to also love big spacious rooms where they can picture their stuff going so try to present your property with this in mind.

Real estate agent advice no. 3. Give the buyers room to move!
Your potential buyers will feel more comfortable if you as an owner are not there while they have their inspection.
The idea is you give them room to move around your property without you looking over their shoulder.
Despite what you may have thought buyers will be more honest with your real estate agent than they will with you, because they won't mind telling the agent what they really think but to you the owner if they don't like it they won't want to offend you.
Real estate agent advice no. 4. Promote a great lifestyle!Most buyers probably are not aware of it on the surface but when you buy real estate you are really also purchasing a lifestyle. So much of our lifestyle will be impacted upon by where we live. This may mean to help effect a good sale result for yourself you use your own personal effects around the property to demonstrate to the buyer what a great lifestyle you have living in this property. This will make a significant impression. To a certain extent the buyer may be purchasing the lifestyle or way you live as much as the property itself. Always keeping in mind that you want to cater to the largest sector of the buying market by keeping your house neat, simple and practical. Real estate agent advice no. 5. Classical music can help! |
Retail specialists have proven that light classical music makes buyers stay longer and spend more.
Why not use this to your advantage it is all about creating the right impression. Some light classical music playing in the background certainly can help, it may even relax you the owner and help you through this stressful time.
While we are talking about atmosphere this list would be incomplete if I didn't mention.
Real estate agent advice no. 6. Homely aroma!Yes I know the term homely aromas may not always be pleasant but i think you know what i mean. Seriously I can guarantee you if you want to add thousands to your end saleprice make your property smell good and inviting. Odours like cigarette smoke ,the smells from animals, lingering food odour and damp smells must be removed. |
Make sure your property is well ventilated, and you can enhance presentation by using artificial scents, things like pot pour ri or the smell of freshly ground coffee.
Real estate agent advice no. 7. Write a pre sale checklist!
Start with everything mentioned here and prioritize in order of importance what you have to do before your property goes on the market.
You are better off not to start any new major projects when going on the market, concentrate on completing the things on this list and you will be well on your way to substantially boosting your sale price.
