A Successful Move by Easter - Ready, Steady, Launch!
Ready, Steady, Launch!
So, you are ready to put your home on the market – great! Spring has that “new beginnings” feel and we agree that the period between February and June is the best time to sell your home. So, since we are nearly in Spring, we thought we would list a few reasons why now is the perfect time to get you moving.
Choose your estate agent
Create a list of about 6-7 estate agents you would consider using. If you are new to this, have a look at OnTheMarket and Zoopla where you can search for the agents in your area. Take a thorough look at their websites, ask friends and neighbours about recommendations, look at their social media presence, advertisements and even the shop window. Which ones are smart and appealing? Don’t just choose the agent with the lowest fee and highest valuation.
Prepare your home for marketing and viewings
Make sure your home is ready for photography. It is one of the most important elements of your property marketing. Buyers start their search online, this is the way to grab attention, make them want to read your home profile and make the arrangement to see your home in person. Declutter and tidy your home. One great example of this is having the beds made. Taking that extra few minutes to dress a bed by smoothing the duvet and plumbing the pillows instantly gives the vibe of a clean and organised home. In Springtime there is a radiant clean hue (most of the time). Get some natural lighting in, open the curtains to maximise natural lighting, even turning on the lamps will add warmth when it comes to viewings.
Do you need help?
Selling your home is like selling a product, it must be marketed correctly to reach a buyer. Although your home may be great for your lifestyle, it is important to think about the next home buyer and if it is suitable for them.
All of the points above are suggested from our sales team, if you need help with marketing your home and need a hand home staging, let us know and we can offer you the service as pack of the package.
Not every estate agent fits every homeowner, not even homeowner is the right fit for every agent, but if you want the very best price, want to work alongside your agent to help you get where you need to be then we will help you every step of the way. We have been there, shared memories with homeowners and helped them create new ones, screamed and jumped up and down in their kitchens with happiness and helped them settle into their new home after the sale has completed!
So, if you’ve been thinking of a new start for a while, now is the perfect time to take the next step. We’d love to help make this Spring your season of new beginnings.
