4 Secrets to Selling Your Home

These Tips Will Help Your Home Stand Out From the Competition

There are many real estate articles on how to sell your home. You will hear common tips like improving  your curb appeal or neutral-coloured interior paint. While these factors are important, what can truly set your home apart from others on the market? Here are some fresh ideas to add to your selling strategy:

Professional Photos

A picture is worth a thousand words, yet smartphones have made many of us think that we are photography pros. As people will often decide whether to pursue your home based on the listing pictures, it is worth investing in a professional photographer. They will have the proper lenses and lighting to capture your home properly.

Say It with Video

If you truly want your home to stand out, a video is an excellent way to draw in potential buyers. Hire a videographer to film not just your home, but the neighbourhood and nearby attractions as well. As buyers see the local restaurants, shops, and sights, it immerses them in the lifestyle and helps them picture your house as their home.

Strategic Improvements

Little changes can go a long way to selling your home. Outdoor solar lights or tiki torches in the landscaping, new faucets in the bathroom or creative storage solutions are all relatively inexpensive improvements that can give your home some extra flair. Choose your upgrades wisely and buyers will be attracted by these fresh features.

Buyer Feedback

One of the simplest ways to maximize  your sale is to solicit feedback from those who walk away. Sometimes we don't see a flaw because we are too close or emotionally invested. Having a paper survey available to those who view the home or a link that potential buyers can fill out anonymously will  help you to gain insight into any shortcomings.
