We’ve taken a close look at how to get yourself on track when selling your condo. Now in part two of this article series we’re going to take a closer look at other common issues sellers face and how they can be avoided.

A property that is difficult to access is a nightmare for a buyer and agent. If a potential buyer is frustrated before they even see the house, they are not likely to buy it. Ensure that anything that may obstruct a buyer’s ability to view your home is removed and the way to the door is clean. Rocky sidewalks, over grown trees, and anything that someone may trip or run into should be removed as soon as possible. It is also a good idea to use a lock box that is electronic, to make sure other Realtor’s can show your home when you are away.

It’s true what they say; it can simply come down to location. If you’re in a sought after location, your realtors marketing plan should showcase it. If you are not, you may want to take steps to make your home’s location more appealing to potential buyers. Consider the noise level around your home and make sure to build a hedge or wall to reduce noise pollution. Showcase nice views and your proximity to other great amenities around your home.

Repair any minor problem! Get your Realtor to give you a list of any simple cosmetic changes that you may perform before you sell that will greatly improve the value of your home. Don’t underestimate this step, the condition of a property is one of the biggest factors in determining the value, and even little things can make a dramatic change. Simply paint to make a huge and visible difference that will brighten your walls. If you cannot paint or simply do not have the time, then either get someone in to wash the walls or do it yourself. It is as simple as saying: anything that can be cleaned should be cleaned, including: carpets, tile, tile grout anything and everything. If you have pets it may be a good idea to have someone take care of them for the duration of the sale.
