15 September, 2022

It's that time of year again: the leaves are changing colour, the temperature is dropping and pumpkin spice everything is starting to pop up in stores. Yes, autumn is here! And with it comes one of the most popular times to sell a house. If you're looking to sell your home in the next few months, now is the time to start getting ready. In this blog post, we'll give you some tips on how to speed up the selling process and make sure your home flies off the market!

Tip 1

Kerb appeal - curb those pesky leaves!

Autumn leaves can be beautiful, but when they're covering your front lawn it's time to get rid of them. Rake them up regularly and keep the area around your home tidy. This will make a great first impression on potential buyers and make your home look more inviting.

Tip 2

Heating- turn it up a bit!

Even with an impending energy crisis, turning up the heat a bit before showings will pay off by eliminating condensation and making your home feel comfortable and inviting.

Tip 3

Lighting- let the light in!

As the days get shorter, it's important to make sure your home is well-lit. Open the curtains and turn on all the lights before showings so potential buyers can see your home in its best light.

Tip 4

Oh, it smells so nice in here!

Adding a delicate natural scent can be beneficial but too much of it can bite back. You want to present a clean homely place. If the smell is too artificial or intensive it would make potential buyers sus[picoius as if you're trying to mask a smell (of a dog or even worse - damp!)

Tip 5

Declutter- the less, the better!

When potential buyers come to your home, they want to be able to imagine themselves living there. This means getting rid of any personal items and clutter that might be lying around. Put away family photos, clear off countertops and declutter closets and storage areas. The less stuff potential buyers have to look at, the better!

With these simple tips, you'll be well on your way to selling your home in no time. Autumn is a great time to sell, so take advantage of it and get your home on the market now!
