Those who own real estate in Sydney or real estate in Melbourne may be thinking about putting their homes on the market, following news that transaction rates are up across the two cities.
As a vendor whose house will undergo an open for inspection, it is important to prepare a piece of property before letting potential buyers into the home.
It is crucial that the house is presented in a neutral fashion, so there should not be too many photos around the house - a buyer should be able to picture their own lives in the house.
Floors should be either mopped or vacuumed with no clutter on the ground, so spend an hour and make sure everything is all picked up and placed where it should be.
Bedrooms should be tidied with beds made, and make sure closets are neatened up and clothes are not just stuffed in - as a potential buyer would want to be aware of storage so it is possible they will look inside.
Backyards should also be groomed, with grass clipped and pools looked after - there should be no leaves or bark in there to give the impression of a well maintained area.
