your house, make sure they see it too. The golden trick to all of this is letting the buyers discover everything for themselves. If you must point out the floor or point out the view, then it is likely not 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 lovewith the house on their own accord. Let the house speak for itself by making it look its best. SMART COLORS Your home is how you express yourself. People can get a good read on who you are by the way you decorate, and your personality is in every room and spread throughout your home. That is not an advantage in home-selling. It means your home may be filled with different colors or funky wallpaper patterns. The best thing to do when selling is take it all back to neutral. Choose plain but warm colors to invite a buyer in. If you keep the glaring pinks, purples, or football team colors in a teenager’s room, a buyer is going to be reminded that she is stepping in one someone else’s memories. No one wants to feel like they are invading someone else’s space, so take it all back to neutral and let prospects put their own spin on it. It is best to paint over any woodwork or fixtures that are starting to look shabby just to tidy the place up. The bonus of all that effort is that your house will have the “new home” smell that will make the buyer feel like they are moving into a brand- new home. FURNITURE So now that your accumulated memories and belongings have vacated the house, the buyer can take the opportunity to picture their own life here.The best thing you can do is give thema nudge in the right direction.
