An advantage of selling a vacant house is that any strong or unique feature your house has will not be obscured by your possessions. Buyers may look at a vast number of properties before deciding on which one is for them, so you need to highlight features that make your house stand out. Here is your opportunity to make the most of it and to make your features stand out. If your house has hardwood floors, for example, make sure they are gleaming. Is there a dramatic view? Take those curtains down and let the light shine through. The golden trick to all of this is letting the buyers discover everything for themselves. If you have to point out the floor or the view, then it is likely not going to be enough to encourage a sale. There is psychology involved in selling a home. If buyers are to be convinced to part with a vast sum of money, they need to have confidence that it is their decision. Buyers do not want to feel convinced into saying yes; they’ll want to fall in love with the house on their own accord. Let the house speak for itself by making it look its best.
FURNITURE
With the accumulated memories and personal belongings of the former occupant removed from the house, buyers have the opportunity to picture their own life here. The best thing you can do is give them a nudge in the right direction. Place certain pieces of fine furniture strategically to help the buyer establish what they can do with the space. A chair by the window is enough for the buyer to picture a relaxing morning with a book staring out at the view. A table in the dining room gives an idea of the space available to work with and how many people can come over for dinner.
