Getting a House Ready to Sell in Turkey
Never list your house before it's prepared to sell. I see many sellers do this and it's one of the most serious mistakes you can make before putting your house up for sale. You will have almost all of your purchasers through the home the 1st week it's on the market. Make sure it's turn key and ready. Before putting your home up on the market you should go through the whole home and mark any areas which require attention. You can use tape and mark all of the scuff marks and any other things that need fixing. It's a smart idea to get a neutral party to help with this. Have a friend or relative go thru and mark any areas that might need touching up.
You should try to to depersonalize the home. Go through your home and put away any family photos or anything that you suspect reflects your character. It's best to have buyers come thru and imagine themselves living there. If you have family photographs buyers generally tend to start to look into your lives instead of their own. This is a huge step that is frequently forgotten.
You want to be certain that you price your house out properly right out of the gate. Don't over price your house in hopes somebody will pay more. Purchasers aren't that stupid and you shouldn't be either. This occurs often and it nearly always ends up in a price reduction and a seller selling their home for a lot less than they may have got. Make sure you use comps in your local market and neighborhood. Use local sites to find sold houses. Try and find similiar style homes in the same area. If you have got a lot of stuff then you will need to hire a storage unit to get rid of anything that you do not need while you sell your house. Getting rid of stuff can make your house seem to be bigger and will give the customers more of an opportunity to picture themselves living in your home. If you can't afford a storage unit then you can store stuff in your garage if you have one.
Fix up the front of your home. Often times while showing I will have buyers pass on homes and not even make it into the home because the curb appeal was poor. Ensure you keep your grass mowed and hedges pruned. Putting down some fresh mulch will really help out the curb appeal without to much money.
If you can afford it then hire a home stager. A home stager can truly make any home shine and nearly always pays off when your home is sold. It's a bit on the expensive side but it is easily worth it. It's usually an upfront charge then you pay each month till the house sells.
When your house ready to sell, list your house to "sell your property". After the agreement between us, we list your property at house in Turkey page.
