What to do When Preparing to Sell a Property

  • June 15

selling your homeSelling Winnipeg real estate can be immensely stressful, as you try to get your property up to a standard at which it will fetch a better price. Missing the sale means you are stuck for longer and you could risk passing up properties you really liked. However, according to Winnipeg Stone Tops there are a number of small things you can do to increase your property’s appeal to prospective buyers. Here are a few choice ones.

Clean Your House

This may seem like a no-brainer, but you would be surprised at how many neglect this very simple task. It makes a far better impression on buyers if your house is in presentable order. Not only will this give them a better impression of you as a homeowner, but it will also show off your house to the best of its abilities, which is much more likely to bring about a sale.

Make Small Repairs

Remember that crack in the wall? How about that leaky tap? Well, it’s best to get these things fixed before trying to sell your house. Having everything in proper working order and doing away with simple blemishes using a bit of plaster can go a long way to convincing people that your house could become their home. There’s nothing worse than losing a sale to something as simple as a broken doorknob.

Tend the Yard

If you’re lucky enough to live in a property with garden space, make sure that you make that space presentable. Pull up weeds, mow the lawns, plant some flowers, and do anything else you can think of to make sure that your house’s yard looks appealing. For many, gardens are a huge selling point and so they will be looking for a house that comes with the garden they want. Making your yard look the part can help immensely.

Replace and Renovate

These don’t have to be big renovations, but if you know for a fact that the desk in your study is unsightly or the Granite countertops in the kitchen make strange noises, replacing these things can make an excellent first impression on prospective buyers. Especially countertops.
