Property Presentation

Avoid Property Presentation Regrets Post Sale

If you ask any vendor their regrets post sale, a major component is not having the house presented well. 

This means vendors might regret their inaction and in not giving their property presentation everything they had.  
 
Not knowing what they could have achieved in sale price can leave a distasteful feeling about what ‘could have been’.  It is critical as sales agents to address this with your vendors right at the get-go. 
 
Ask them:
– What plans do you have to present the property?
– Are you unsure where to start?
– Can I arrange some assistance in getting your home ready to sell?
 
I suggest actually stating, ‘one of the biggest regrets I hear from vendors is feeling that they didn’t do enough to get the property ready for sale’. Then asking, ‘would you like some ideas to consider?’

Styling Tips – Investing In Outdoor Spaces

Investing in creating outdoor spaces can help your vendors to add value to their property.

Plus a beautifully presented home will help you to a quicker and better sale result.
 
We constantly have the discussion of spend and return with our clients and of course, when we are talking pre-sale, of course we should.  However sometimes we identify the opportunity for a larger investment and even more return.  
 
Promoting space and light is one of the most important things your vendors can do and this can be taken to the next level. For example I’m working on a house right now with a lovely level rear yard, a stunning outlook and the only access is through a laundry door!
 
In this example, we are currently organising approval of a deck coming out from the rear of the house and dining area. This will give the feel that the property is double the size of living areas.  
 
For a $20k investment, vendors can potentially earn a minimum of double the investment through increasing buyer appeal to target markets.
 
Extending spaces onto a deck area and creating that ‘indoor-outdoor’ feel is very appealing with our Australian climate, and these areas can be beautifully staged and dressed as if they were an additional room.  Vendors can consider creating a lounge or dining area, an outdoor kitchen or offer warmth with some clever heating options.
