Show day preparation

Follow these five steps to help your agent sell your property:

1. Property preparation:

Before doing any renovations or property preparations get an agent to advise you. 

A good agent will know what buyers look for a property and he will be able to advise you on 

what to do to get your property ready to sell, Small things that make a big difference:


  • Do the garden

  • Fix the gutters

  • Clean the pool

  • Fix old damp problems and ceiling stains

  • Do not hide problems fix them

2. Keep it clean:

A cluttered or messy property just looks bad


  • Make the beds

  • Do the dishes

  • Open the curtains

  • In some cases having too much furniture in a room can make the room look smaller.

3. Lock the pets up:


  • Don't lose a sale because of a pet even if your pet is the most well-behaved on earth!

  • Some people just have a phobia. Lock your pets away, We as agents want the buyers to focus on the viewing of the property with no distraction.

4. Lights on:


  • A very good tip that makes a big difference even if it is during the day. 

  • Lights on just look better and more inviting.

5. Stay away:


  • Buyers feel like strangers on your property and they won't give their honest opinion about a property or room when the owner is walking with them.
