Bangalore : In some real estate markets, selling process has become an intricate due to the up and down of the market trends and many other reasons. The ultimate strategy behind selling the home quickly is pricing it at a lower price. But there are many other ways to boost a home’s pleasant appearance besides lowering the price. The following are a few tips on how to create interest and get the best possible deal.

Choose superior Agent: If you are planning to sell your home through an agent, choose carefully. Hire a real estate agent who has a triumphant track record of selling homes in your area. Listen your friends and neighbors’ suggestions and follow their advice. Try to find one with whom you get alongside and bear in mind that the valuer may not be the one with whom you have usual contacts, so check who this would be and meet them before you choose.

Price it right: Don’t inquire too much: Look at other properties in your area and find out what your home is worth and then, shear 15 to 20 percent off the price if you want a quick sale. Be realistic in the present market. If your property price is too high it will hang around thus, try to put yourself in the shoes of the buyers and then fix a fair price.

Improve your curb appeal: It‘s a first impression matters, external appearance always catches the eyes of the buyers. A house with a chipping paint, patchy grass and overgrown bushes won’t make a good impression. Try to make some amendments by giving a fresh coat of paint, trimmed bushes, power wash siding and walkways, wash front windows, hang easy to read house numbers, repaint the porch floor and add a new flower plants in front of the house.  

Update the kitchen: Kitchen is the most valuable part of the house. When the buyers are unsure updated kitchen can make huge differences. Reface your kitchen by using neutral color paint; de-clutter the surfaces, place a fruit bowl outside and consider plumbing fixtures. If you have a little money for updating your kitchen, use one fancy stainless steel appliance because when the buyer sees one high end appliance they may think all the rest are luxurious and this updates your kitchen.

De- clutter:It is necessary to clear all clutter from the home before showing your home to buyers because buyers will picture themselves in the space. Clean surfaces, floors, cub boards, take out some furniture from room to make rooms look bigger, get rid of all excess stuff or store it in the storage room and expose the attractive side of your lifestyle. It’s not an easy task; remember you are competing with other resale homes.

Maximize the light: Make the place feel light and airy because this makes the rooms feel bigger and attractive. Clean window glasses inside and outside, replace any dated and broken light fixtures, increase the wattage of bulbs, improve the sunlight by cutting the bushes, place lamps in dark corners and  put a soft lamp in bath room, it can create a warm glow.

Entice buyers: Place amazing stuff to draw the buyer’s eye like a piece of art work and a vase of flowers which smell delicious. Make sure the windows dressed with blinds or colorful curtains. Decorate your home in neutral colors like white or beige.

Sweeten the deal: This is one of the best ways to attract the buyers. Offer few things like transferable home warranty for a one year policy and add up terms to sweeten the deal. When you mention that gadgets are covered up, the deal becomes more attractive than competitors. Do your best to make them feel.
