Change Property

AN HOUR With a notepad in hand, take a tour of your property inside and out. Make a list of items which may need to be placed into storage and those that may need repairing. For any ‘big’ issues, call a tradesperson or handyman for help. A DAY It’s de-clutter day! Arrange for that skip or storage unit to remove unwanted items. Call in some favours and get friends to help. The more hands on deck, the more enjoyable the process will be. A WEEK Complete minor repairs and splash on a possible fresh coat of paint. Don’t go overboard, touch ups will do. Mulch the gardens and trim some plants; external appeal is critical and special attention is needed. A weekend working bee is an Australian tradition; exploit it. A MONTH You’ll possibly be on the market by this stage. All your hard work will be paying off and purchasers will be inspecting your home. Making ‘your home, their dream’ is the ultimate goal. Continue to impress; its showtime! A YEAR So where will you be? Preparing your home for sale is as much about your ultimate destination as it is maximising your profits. Make sure your selling goals match your destination goals. Selling the family home can be an emotional and at times stressful process. Focusing on the desired outcome and your reason for selling will help you through this stage. JUMP IN
