🏡 Selling Your Home This August? Avoid This Common Mistake! 🏡
Summer holidays have kicked in, and while it’s meant to be a time of sunshine and smiles, it’s proving tricky for those trying to sell a home. Between juggling BBQs, family outings, and endless school holiday activities, sellers are finding it hard to keep their homes ‘viewing ready.’ And according to property expert Kevin Barzegar, many are falling into a common trap that could cost you serious cash!
The big blunder? Scheduling viewings without prepping for the chaos that comes with kids being home 24/7. Picture this: you’ve got potential buyers walking in, the telly’s blaring, toys strewn everywhere, and you’re chasing toddlers mid-tour!? It’s no wonder buyers aren’t seeing the hidden gems your home has to offer.
Kevin’s top tip: adjust your strategy during the school holidays! 📅
⏰ Timing is everything: Plan viewings for calmer times – early morning or late in the evening, avoiding meal times and the dreaded witching hour.
🧸 Kid Zones: Tidy up playrooms, and bedrooms. A quick toy tidy can transform chaos into calm.
⏲️ 15-Minute Countdown: Have a fast track routine to clear spaces, straighten cushions, and let in some fresh air before viewings.
✨ Be Realistic: Keep the buyer’s perspective in mind – they want to envision a happy family home, not a chaotic battleground.
Remember, buyers know families live in houses, not showrooms. The goal is to showcase your home’s charm without the distraction of daily clutter. Follow these steps to avoid the summer selling saga and make a smashing impression, even as life swirls around you. 🌟
It’s not about having a pristine palace; it’s about making sure buyers focus on your home’s fantastic features rather than the chaos of family life. With a bit of planning, you can turn this holiday season into a prime selling season! 🏠💷
