Declutter Property
Over the years in the same house, most people accumulate clothes, furniture, and items without really noticing it. This simple, yet effective step can make a home look bigger and more spacious. You want your prospective buyers to be able to visualize themselves in home with their furniture, it is much easier to do that with less items lying around.

Create a checklist: It’s easier to declutter when you’re organized and have a visual reference.

Declutter 10 minutes at a time: Starting slow reduces overwhelm, and before you know it, you’ll have a whole new space!

Give away one item each day: This reduces waste and helps clear your space more quickly.

Donate clothes: If you haven’t worn it in the last six months, it’s probably safe to get rid of.

Box method: Label four boxes: “trash”- “giveaway” – “relocate” – and “keep”. This will provide you with an organized system for decluttering easily.

First, measure the wall – Apply the painter’s tape, pressing down with your hand to leave no creases – Apply Some paint – Remove all the tape before the paint is completely dry, to avoid smudging or chipping.

Create An Accent Wall
Make your house pop with an accent wall. Accent walls are a unique feature and leave the prospective buyer remembering your property over other similar plain ones. In Ontario’s specifically Oakville fast paced market – it is all about making your property tastefully stand out to buyers who see several properties a week! All you need to get started is paint, painter’s tape, measuring tape, and a drip sheet.

Smells & Aromas
People are very moved by what we smell. That’s because scents take a quick and direct route to your brain’s sensory system that relates to memory and emotion. So, good smells create good memories! Adnan has noticed that entering a pleasant-smelling home sets the tone for the rest of the showing and keep buyers interested. Here are some options you can choose:

Choose neutral scents. Fresh linen, vanilla, baked cookies, etc – Warmers heat concentrated scents for hours and spread the smell throughout the home – Large candle – Plug-in air freshener – Incense sticks

Create Curb Appeal
When it comes to the exterior of a property, most people think it is expensive to improve and as a result will sometimes avoid it altogether. Cut the grass – Paint the exterior – Paint the railings and handles – Install potted plants

Paint The Interior
Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint in your house…! It will rejuvenate the room with a fresh clean look but be careful not to use overpowering colours. Appeal to the largest number of people by choosing neutral colours for your walls. Remember you don’t know who will want to buy your home, so you need to appeal to most people. Use light colours to create the feel of more space, like beige, white, and light greys – Incorporate no more than one accent wall per room – Avoid strong colours, complex patterns, design that’s too culturally specific.

Create A Connection
Show buyers what they can do with your space once it’s theirs. Highlight the special spots with unique ways you have utilized your space to allow the buyers to envision themselves and their families enjoying their potential new home. Here are some ways you can do that: Cozy family rooms with a reading nook – Morning coffee station with natural light – A patio with a grill for summer BBQ.

Remove Photos
To make buyers feel comfortable and at home when viewing your place, allow them to picture themselves living in your home. Having a lot of personal pictures of your family would make that a little challenging. Potential buyers want to feel inspired and be able to picture how their day-to-day life would look like in your space. Removing some of your personal pictures helps future owners imagine less of you, and more of them in your home. Here are some better options: Abstract art – Scenic images – Geometric wall art – Choose decor.

Make The Beds
Making all the beds in your home is an easy and free trick to make every bedroom appear tidy and orderly. Beds are usually the largest furniture piece in each bedroom, and a messy bed can easily make a clean room look disheveled. Make sure that all the beds are made whenever you have any scheduled showings for the day. Change out old bedding for new sets that match the overall colour scheme in each room.

Lighting
Lighting is everything…..! Ever notice how poor lighting creates a bad photo? Well, houses are no different. Homes don’t show well in poor & dim lighting. That’s why retailers always have their product in well lit areas, sometimes even in bright showcases. Make sure that your home is well lit to highlight the strong features. Replace old fixtures with new, modern ones.

Be Free For Showings
Simply put the higher number of people that view your home, the higher the chances are that it will be sold fast, and for the most money. A house can only sell for its maximum potential if it has had full exposure and everyone that wanted to see it had a chance to do view it. Therefore, an important factor when selling is being flexible with showing. Ensure you’re out of the house during showings so buyers feel comfortable.
