How to prepare your home for sale. The advice of a realtor.

It would seem that the obvious thing – if you decided to sell your house or apartment, try to create a presentable appearance – to restore order, and renew . Meanwhile, not everyone follows this simple rule. In this regard, the British Agency even issue recommendations to sellers what needs to be done to the sold property acquired marketable.

According to the survey conducted by Anglian Home Improvements, many buyers during the inspection is not able to abstract from details and focus not on the waste and mess, instead of to consider the house itself, which of course spoils the shared impression and affects the formation of final prices.

The study also revealed a different approach to viewing women and men. If men pay more attention to the area around the house, women are more focused on the internal contents of the house.

However, clutter around the house diverted 28% of women, while men spent only 20% of the time.

In General, the furnishings and decor were spent 27% of the time, 24% for the debris and confusion, and only 4% of the time – the layout of the house.

Moreover, even when potential buyers not mentioned in the trash talk and dirt, their eyes still drawn to unkempt areas, monitor them.

Men at survey spend more time on inspection of the structure and Foundation of the house – 32% of men compared with 22 % of women. Women focus more on the personal elements of the decor – the photos, the decoration and atmosphere.

The study showed that the key points that you need to pay attention to the seller is a neat garden all around the house and a clear delineation of borders with its neighbors. It is also necessary to ensure good functioning of the major nodes in the house – for example, serviceability of the fire, sliding doors. And the main advice is not to lose sight of minor damage and to tidy the whole house. Such things as , for example, broken sockets, it would seem, are of little value when assessing the value of the house, but distract the buyer’s attention and adversely affect the overall impression of the object.
