So your property looks great from the street and prospective buyers are interested enough to hop out of their cars to come in for a closer look….but how do you maintain their interest and ensure they have the right feeling about your property as they enter your home?
Step 2 – Creating an inviting and fresh entrance
Emotional appeal is critical when selling a property and the feeling generated in the entrance echoes through the house, I see it time and time again on people’s faces when we greet them at the front door – so spend a few hours on improving this area and you’ll create the right energy at your main entrance that will help sell your property.
I am a visual person and therefore I think the best way to explain what you should consider doing in this space is to show you
In summary these properties have:
• A freshly painted front door and surrounding structure which make them look fresh and inviting
• Polished / clean front door knob and window handles
• Potted plants on either side of the front door and neat landscaping along the entry path
• All the external lights work as well as the door bell
• A clearly visible property number
• A new door mat
• A clean and tidy entry and a path which is neatly swept
• A feeling of light and space which can be easily created by opening all shutters, doors and windows.
Next week I share with you some tips and examples on how to refresh one of the most important rooms in your home – the kitchen.
I would love to hear what you did to your entrance to improve it.
