Make Your Home Stand Out in a Crowded Market

Starfish The Gray Team Ucluelet Real Estate

Even if the marketplace in which you are selling your home seems a bit crowded, thankfully there are a handful of easy things that you can do to to not only help your home stand out, but also to get the price that you want for your home.

Join Forces with the Pros

It may seem obvious, but we can honestly say that the first and most important step to selling your home, and fast, is by seeking out the service of a licensed REALTOR®. Our vast experience in the real estate market helps us to identify typical buyer behaviour and recognize industry trends which allow us unique insight into what is currently selling, and why.  This particular perspective from a professional can help you to find a unique way for your home to stand out when on the marketplace.

Our services go much beyond just listing your home. Getting the price you want for your home is what we want for you, too. So we work to make the entire process as clear and simple as possible on the paperwork side, whilst arming you with tools to make your home the most appealing deal around.  We are here to negotiate on your behalf, as well as to offer advice when you're unsure about anything.

Prepare Yourself

Prior to showing your home, you will want to have had a home inspection done, as well as a document that has compiled a summary of the costs of operating your home, such as insurance and utilities. This small step being done in advance can make the process so much smoother for everyone involved, which is helps when it comes to selling a house fast. If there's no red tape, the whole things can be done within a matter of days.

Get Great Photos

If there's one trend that we can be certain of, it's that homes with great quality photographs get the most traffic on any website. People are much more likely to want to visit your home if they have a good first impression from the listing photos.

If the angles of the rooms being featured are crooked, or if the rooms are dimly lit, this will affect the overall attractiveness of an advertisement. We can help you decide what features of your home to highlight, and how to stage your home to make it more visually appealing. However, if you invest in someone with some professional photography experience to capture the photos, you're more likely to get enough traffic to your viewings to find that ideal potential buyer.

Make It Appealing

A home listing can be something similar to an online dating profile; basic information is shared, and if there's a feeling of possibility, an in-person meeting is arranged. If you've already staged your home, photographed it and the interest has started flowing in your direction for a showing, you are ready for the final details that will make the best first-impressional possible: Curb Appeal.

Freshening up the exterior of the place will certainly give the place that little bit extra upon first sight. Touching up the paint, landscaping, power washing the driveway and exterior panels, cleaning the windows, are just a few of the little changes that will make a big difference.  (Find out even more ideas for Curb Appeal here!)

Warm and Welcoming

There's a perfect balance that must be struck between making the place welcoming, but keeping it impersonal. You want people feel at home AND be able to imagine what all of their own belongings will fit into the space. So it's important to get the rooms as empty and neutral as possible, which keeping the spaces inviting and liveable.

This can be achieved by keeping things that are personal, such as photographs, albums, posters, and collectables are packed away, but leave artwork, coffee table books, and vibrant plants out for display to offer up a home-like feeling.

Another easy way to make the space warm, is to schedule the viewings at the time when sunlight in your home is optimal. And don't forget the easiest way of all to make your place memorable... baking cookies! Not only will your home smell amazing, but you must also never underestimate how happy cookies can make people. 🙂

We hope this helps your home stand out in even a crowded market, so that you can finally come Start Living in Ukee!
