STRUCTURE
Starting with the basics, the structure and features of the building or apartment are the first considerations in the mind of the buyer. He will think about things like, "How thick are the walls?", "What is the orientation of the cardinal points?", "How good is the insulation?" more and more often "if it has smart features?" and "how old is the roof?" It is your duty as a salesperson to calm down as many of these fears as possible.
In most cases, it won't be necessary to make a complete change to the structural and mechanical aspects of your property, but if any of the important aspects such as water, electricity, windows, walls, flooring or heating are a risk - it's time to solve.
Having a fully functional property and keeping receipts to show any previous or recent work will go a long way in building trust with potential buyers and increasing the chances of the transaction going smoothly.
PROPERTY APPEARANCE
First impressions are extremely important, and houses are no exception. Property beautification matters a lot when it comes to impressing buyers. They want to know that efforts have been made to make the property as livable as possible, they want a clear picture, in which they can imagine their lives in this future home and what each corner of the house can offer them.
But before we get to each room, let's take a closer look at the front door. Since this is the business card of the property and (especially in the case of apartments), the first thing a potential buyer will see about his new home, it would be advisable to invest in this aspect as well. Buyers check if the front door is modern, clean and above all, if it is safe; clean it, paint it, replace it if necessary, do whatever it takes to make sure the buyer is happy with it. Also, make sure that no nameplates or anything else hang on the door.
Try to give each room a fresh coat of paint. Neutral colors provide the perfect backdrop for potential buyers to imagine what they would look like if they decorated their space with their own furniture ideas. If you are not sure which color to choose, don't complicate it ... choose the classic white, you will definitely not be wrong. It looks fresh, is as neutral as possible and it is easy for the buyer to give the color he wants after the sale.
Check the lighting fixtures, fans and switches in the house. Make sure they are functional and see what you can replace, where appropriate - can make a difference. Make sure it adheres to a neutral look with a simple and clean design.
KITCHEN
The kitchen has been the heart of the house for generations, and for most buyers this is what makes the difference. Usually, not all buyers want the same thing from a room where some effort has been put in and specific results have come out. Is there enough space? Are there enough surfaces / sockets / cabinets? Where will the microwave fit? Do I have enough space to invite my friends over? Can I cook while the kids are here? Is there a built-in oven? and much more ... Here's what you need to do to give your humble kitchen a chance.
First of all, it refreshes the wardrobes towards a modern and practical design, and this will give it a more airy and much more attractive look. Make sure there are as many clean surfaces as possible and without too many objects. To give a fresh look to the kitchen: put a vase of flowers, some plants, put clean and colorful towels, some fresh fruit on the table and don't forget: a bright space is always attractive, so make sure the curtains are drawn to a part, so that as much light as possible enters. And last but not least, the headline made you read this article.
THE BATHROOM
The bathroom is a surprisingly simple room when it comes to buyers. They want three things in general: cleanliness, space and functionality of the bathroom. If you can't improve the size of the bathroom, you can at least consider changing the faucets and shower heads, trying to make the room look brighter with a new coat of paint and clean mirrors, and repairing small cracks where appropriate. Make sure that any problems with the pipes or heating are resolved before viewing.
FLOORING
Try to find a suitable shade for the floor so that it is not too shrill. Improving the floor of your property can add value and develop a sense of "home" for potential buyers. If you can afford to make one major change in your home (in addition to making sure that the pipes and electricity are optimal), then this would be the floor. Laminate flooring is the easiest way to improve the appearance of floors, and sliding and clicking installation makes it easy for homeowners to install without the need for specialized training.
New flooring can completely transform the look of your space and can be the X factor that some buyers are looking for.
