As a seller, how do you get buyers to fall in love with your home? First, change your perspective. You shouldn’t be seeing your house as just a seller, but also as a buyer.

Buyers want things brand-new. However, they often can’t afford it or can’t find it. They don’t want to have to do a ton of repairs on their new home. They want to simply move in with their toothbrush. So, what can we do to make your house appear brand-new?

1. Clean, paint, and fix defects. Thoroughly clean the home, add a fresh coat of paint, and repair any defects. We want buyers to get a wonderful first impression. You may have gotten used to the imperfections in your house, but buyers will notice them. Have a friend or real estate professional point out flaws you may not have noticed. Try to keep an open mind and a buyer’s viewpoint.

2. Space. Buyers want to see open space in the home, so show as much as possible. Take the clutter out of the closets, remove all large furniture, and anything extra that doesn’t need to be there. You’re moving anyway, so either donate, store, or trash belongings as necessary.

You shouldn’t be seeing your house as just a seller, but also as a buyer.

3. Staging and redecorating. We want to generate feelings of “That’s my style!” and “I can see myself living here!” By staging or redecorating correctly, you can attract more buyers.

4. Professional photos and videos. Buyers’ searches for houses begin online. We want to entice as many buyers as possible to fall in love with your property.
