Selling a piece of Parkland real estate isn’t always a walk in the park. At least you can maximize your chances of a quick sale by utilizing 10 of the most effective techniques.

  1. To begin, get rid of all clutter. Do not make piles. Nobody wants to see piles of books, magazines, clothes, or anything else. Throw out old newspapers and magazines. Pack away most of your small items like figurines and other trinkets. Store clothing that won’t be used in the near future to make closets seem roomier. Give the old clothes away to folks in need, like hurricane victims in Texas. Clean out the garage. This allows a potential buyer to see his or her own possessions filling up the empty rooms with their own possessions.
  2. Wash your windows and screens on your home for sale in Parkland. This lets more light into the interior and dirty windows are a turn-off. Make sure there are no dead bugs or lizards lying around.
  3. Keep everything extra clean. Wash fingerprints and dirt from light switch plates. Clean the floors, stove, refrigerator, washer, and dryer. A clean house makes a better first impression and tells buyers that the home has been well cared for. Think about it, would you want to pay good money to move into a home with filth muck all over it? I don’t think so.
  4. Put brighter bulbs in light sockets to make rooms appear brighter, especially dark rooms. Replace any burnt-out or flickering bulbs. Turn all lights on before buyers come to view the home.
  5. Make all minor repairs that you can find. Everything you don’t repair now will be revealed anyway in the home inspection and can create a bad impression, as well as take money out of your pocket. Common issues seen around Parkland homes for sale tend to include doors that have trouble opening, tears along the screens on the patio, cracks on the driveway and ceiling, as well as dripping faucets in both the showers and the sinks. While they may appear minor to a homeowner, they can be big issues to a potential buyer.
  6. Shoot for good curb appeal. Cut the grass, rake any leaves, trim the bushes, and edge the walks. Add some color by your front door by putting up beautiful flowers to attract shoppers’ attention.
  7. Patch holes in your driveway and reapply sealant, if applicable.
  8. Clean out dirty gutters that are full of old leaves and who knows what else?
  9. Polish or replace your front doorknob, door numbers, and mailbox.
  10. Get rid of smells. Clean carpeting and drapes to eliminate cooking odors, smoke, and pet smell. If carpets are old and need replacing, it is worthwhile to replace them. Chances have it that the more money you get from the sale will outweigh the costs of making all the expenses to make your Parkland luxury home ideal for a potential buyer. Open the windows and let any pets visit your relatives’ houses for the day. The number one turn off to a potential buyer is an unpleasant odor.
