Preparing My Property For Sale

Preparing your property for sale is an important step for every seller. Paula and Mikaela believe that making the right small investment into your property will result in seeing a higher sale price. It’s critical however to know what preparations will create a quicker sale, better return or better first impression, and what won’t make much difference at all.

When partnering with Paula Pearce and Mikaela Ivey, we will assess your property and recommend to you any investments, updates or changes that will improve your overall sales result.

Every property is unique, as will be your recommendations. Some common actions that can positively impact results are:

Decluttering and cleaning thoroughly will allow a buyer to see that they can ‘step right in’ post settlement. Having clutter, personal items or giving the idea a buyer will need to spend their first week post sale doing a spring clean will get in the way of a buyer’s connection with the property and a simple declutter means the spaces will feel larger and more open.

Making simple repairs and fixing small wear and tear items that are a big distraction to buyers can lead to a better result. It can also help with negotiations as buyers won’t be trying to deduct for small maintenance items.

Styling your property can add an instant ‘facelift’ without changing a single thing about the property itself. It can also update and refresh a property, or paint a picture for your ideal buyer of what it will be like to live there.

Paula and Mikaela understand that many of the people we partner with are time-poor and have many other priorities. While they might have plans to refine the presentation of their property, they often don’t have the time or don’t know where to start. It’s for this reason that we are dedicated to partnering with you when it comes to your property presentation.
