You may be feeling overwhelmed? You may be feeling tired? You may have lost your passion? You are not alone…

Without giving you an ear bashing…‘YOUR LIFE IS TOO CLUTTERED’

As a professional home stager who has worked for years with clients preparing their homes for sale it has always astounded me that a large majority of people live very disorganised lives that do not support them emotionally.  Their solution to the chaos is to sell their home and buy a new one where they upgrade to a  more expensive but still cluttered lifestyle!

If I had a dollar for every time a client said to me (at the conclusion of their home transformation) “I’ve always wanted to upgrade the kitchen”, ” wish I had made these changes years ago” or “the house looks the best it has ever been and now I am not going to enjoy the changes”, I’d have a very big pot of gold!  I specialise in transforming broken, outdated, chaotic sellers homes into warm, inviting, nurturing homes that buyers fall in love with because buyers do not buy a house – they buy a lifestyle. The same principles apply for people who need some inspiration to stay and rejuvenate.

Would you like to stay in your existing home and create the lifestyle you have always dreamed of?

If you are madly nodding your head then read on……..there is a solution

Tips for selling your home to avoid losing thousands of dollars! http://www.housestoimpress.com.au/tips-for-selling-your-home-to-avoid-losing-thousands-of-dollars/ http://www.housestoimpress.com.au/tips-for-selling-your-home-to-avoid-losing-thousands-of-dollars/#respond Sat, 05 Jun 2010 12:52:32 +0000 http://www.housestoimpress.com.au/?p=499 Home Owners Risk Losing Thousands of Dollars!

 

Most people would be really upset if their superannuation fund suddenly dropped ten, twenty, thirty thousand dollars, or more. Yet many homeowners regularly suffer these kinds of losses without a second thought when they sell their home and/or investment property.

Why is that?  Why would homeowners fail to perceive that their home is an important investment, as well as shelter for themselves, their dog and cat?

For the vast home owning majority, building home equity is a critical component of retirement planning and building net worth. So, it only makes sense to get the most money possible when you sell. Think what you could do with those extra thousands of dollars

– A lifestyle reward like a holiday or a brand new car for your family
– A bigger down payment on your new home
– Capital to invest in a business venture or
– Money to create more wealth by funding another investment

It is a sad fact that very few homeowners sell their homes for the most money possible. They end up giving thousands of dollars to the buyers as equity gifts! A common thread I hear from people when they are getting ready to sell is  ”Why do I need to spend money when I am moving out anyway?”  They are unwilling to do what it takes when their home is involved and thousands of dollars in lost equity is on the line.

That’s where we come in. At Houses to Impress we believe in challenging the mindset & actions of home sellers. We believe home owners should think differently about how they sell their largest asset, their home. And most importantly, we believe that any homeowner has the ability to sell their home fast and for maximum price given the right advice.

Our top tips to achieve the most profit when you sell your home

  • Change the way you think about your home – it is no longer your home, it is a marketable product
  • See your house with a buyer’s eyes
  • Repair it before your sell it – inspect your house like an Inspector!
  • Get rid of all your stuff – buyers aren’t interested in your personal stuff. They are buying a lifestyle
  • Lifestyle upgrades equate to Top Dollar Sales – think Kitchen, Bathroom, Garden
  • Create more space by getting rid of excess clutter
  • First impressions count – don’t forget your Street Appeal
  • Dress you house to impress using home staging techniques

In getting the most money possible from the sale of your home, the condition of your home is what you have the greatest control over. If you ignore the condition or packaging, as the marketing people call it, it will come back to haunt you.
