“I’ve heard you emphasise the importance of presentation, but surely the property itself is more important?”
Yes, buyers area looking for a property to suit their needs, but how it’s presented can make buyers want to inspect it or swipe left. You’re not only selling ‘bricks and mortar’, you’re also an aspiration of how the buyer will see your home as theirs. If your home is messy or overfilled with personal items, buyers will struggle to see beyond your belongings.
Presentation is designed to create a welcoming ambience but with the space for buyers to imagine living the life of their dreams – and this will definitely help sell your home. Similarly for your garden and surrounds. If you don’t want to or can’t afford to engage a property stylist, then look critically at every room. De-clutter and identify what you can hide away and keep every room tidy throughout the sale period, repair any damage, move furniture around to maximise space and light, clean your home, remove rubbish and a vase or two of fresh flowers go a long way to creating the right look.
Remember – it’s not just what you’ve got, it’s the way you show it that will attract or repel buyers.
