Sell Your Inner West Property With Professional Guidance

Selling a home is daunting with the high level of competition in real estate – a trend expected to continue in 2018. Professional property styling can help you better organise and decorate your home. It serves as an excellent tool to help you sell your Inner West property quicker... and for more money. Presenting your property in the best light to attract more prospective buyers requires some styling tips. Here they are:

Create an Enticing Entrance with Outdoor Touch Ups

Prospective buyers will form an impression even before they enter your Inner West property. Minor outdoor touch-ups can make the space even more enticing. For instance, cleaning the front and garage door, and giving them a fresh coat of paint can really spruce them up. Cleaning and power washing your front porch will remove dust, dirt, cobwebs and shoe skid marks. Adding ambient lighting to the front yard will make the property more attractive in case prospects decide to scrutinise it at night. Landscaping the garden will give it a well-manicured appearance. The entrance shapes buyer opinion, so spend some time on getting the outdoors right.

Add Upgrades to Your Kitchen

The kitchen often makes or breaks a home sale, so make sure you give it extra attention with small upgrades. For instance, adding a new dishwasher or oven can add a few thousand to the asking price. Buyers will appreciate the new appliances since they won’t have to invest time and money themselves. Similarly, a new coat of paint can brighten up your kitchen almost instantly, removing those hideous oil stains you’ve come to dread yourself. Newly polished cabinet doors add sheen, while upgraded lights infuse visual interest into the cooking space. Introduce some personality to the kitchen with a fruit bowl or flower vase.  

Give The Bathroom A Well-Groomed Appearance

No buyer wants to offer more money for a property with damaged grout, mouldy walls and dirty bathroom tiles. Consider cleaning (or polishing) your tiles and replacing old grout to give the bathroom a spotless appearance. Make sure your bathroom smells good because unpleasant odours can turn off buyers. Replace all damaged fittings and add brighter lighting for an elegant finish. Add a touch of luxury with scented soaps, designer soap trays, plush towels and exclusive bath products. Well-groomed bathrooms create desirability and will make it easier to sell your Inner West property.

Give Your Bedroom A Visual Makeover

Most people spend a significant amount of time in the bedroom, so you’ll want to make sure it has striking visual appeal. Removing clutter and keeping colours light and neutral gives the bedroom aesthetic excellence. Adequate storage will hide all your junk and makes the space look neat and uncluttered. A fresh coat of paint is relatively inexpensive and adds massive visual charm. Luxurious bedding and scented candles will create a plush impression during the inspection.

Small transformations can make a huge impact when you’re looking to sell your Inner West property. The trick is to make your home look stylish with a sense of minimalistic elegance. When buyers envision their own things in the home, they are more likely to make an offer.
