The 3 B's - to ensure a MORE SECURE SALE -

Ever got to the end of a jigsaw and can't complete it?  How does that make you feel?  Frustrated? Deflated? or worse still,  angry?
 

If you were buying a house and hurdles kept getting in your way and small things kept getting uncovered, these missing pieces can make you all of the above until one day you wanted to throw in the towel and withdraw.  It's frustrating, stressful, time consuming and worst of all, costly!

How would you feel if that was the buyer of your house?  Panicked that they may pull out?  Worried they may issue unreasonable demands or put a strain on your timescales and finances?

This can be very tricky and there are ways to avoid this situation:  it's very simple, these are my 3 B's!

 Be Honest

About why you are moving (we wont disclose this, but it makes our relationship stronger and enable us to understand your situation so we are working in the best way to make your sale easier for you)

Be Realistic

About your timescales to get moved when you get that offer (You may be having hospital treatments/operation scheduled, you may only be able to do viewings at weekends due to your seasonal workload or you might have just had a beautiful little baby) your buyers will need to know as soon as possible to prevent unnecessary tension and worry.

Be Clear

On the best times to schedule viewings - especially if you have a dog, or your neighbour like to rev his bike or you get the school's overflow parents that need to park for collection.

This will keep your sale smooth.

Have you been Honest, Realistic and Clear with your agent, your buyers and yourself?

Buyers Brains like Balance - Mini Blog

When you put your house on the market what is the one thing you want?  The one thing that you need to move on?  Buyers

There is one simple thing you can do to significantly increase your chances of getting the price you want in the timeframe you require. It all comes down to...

 

...Balance

This is the simple mechanics that tyre specialists use on your wheels.  Facial symmetry is one thing that will significantly increase the chances of being defined as more 'beautiful'.  The thing an aeroplane needs to ensure a safe flight and something that photographers use for creating a simple and spectacular photographs.

Consider your own home by asking these questions

• Is you centre piece on your coffee table in the absolute centre or your two candles aligned with the thirds. 

• Does your colour scheme show fluidly throughout your living room or is one side 'burnt orange heavy' and the other a bit more 'oatmealy' and less dramatic.

• Are your agents photographs straight?

• Is the key point of reference in the centre of the photographs therefore balance on both the left and right. (Watch out for the dreaded 'toy corner' on one side of each photograph)

• Think about creating balanced areas kerbside too - matching pots & flowers to each side of your front door

• Perhaps your dining table is pushed to one side of the room consider bringing it more central

Brains love balance and your buyers feel much more relaxed in a home that feels more balanced and symmetrical leading to making a much easier decision on whether to offer on your home.

This is just the tip of a very large iceberg, and there are some brilliant ways of creating balance in your home right now.  Each of my carefully selected clients benefit from attention to detail like this.
