If you are thinking of selling your White Rock Condo or Home, there is some good news. There are plenty of interested buyers that have their sights set on this beautiful city. The sprawling beaches, balmy climate and small-town environment make White Rock a highly desirable place to live. Before you list your home, there are a few helpful tips to make your property stand out from the competition.

Make sure all elements of your home are well maintained. Buyers are looking for move-in ready properties. Make a list of all the small jobs around the house that you have been avoiding, and tackle them one by one. This can including repairing leaky taps, making sure that cupboard doors open and close properly, and fixing any damaged window screens. Although these repairs may seem insignificant, buyers will be far more confident about their offer if they can tell that the home was taken care of with pride.

Focus on your curb appeal. First impressions count, and you only have one chance to make a good one. Hire a landscaper to trim back your shrubs, remove debris and make sure that your yard is looking its best. New doors can also make a home look significantly better from the road. Add some decorative planters to help your entrance and walkways look more inviting.

Stage the inside of your home. Once you have drawn potential buyers past the front door, it’s time for them to fall in love with the interior. Staging your home doesn’t necessarily mean filling it with someone else’s furniture. It can simply mean reducing clutter, and positioning the items that you have to showcase each room. Less is always more, and you want to help potential buyers notice the features that initially drew you in.

Keep in clean. A professional cleaning goes a long way when you have buyers coming through your home. The most important areas of your home are the kitchen and bathrooms. Keep countertops free of clutter, make sure that the towels are neatly hung, and keep toilet lids down at all times. Sound like a lot of work? It sure is, but it will be well worth it when your home sells for top dollar.

Be available to show your home. Preparing yourself for showing can seem like a hassle, but remember, it only takes one interested buyer to sell your home. Keep in mind that people have busy schedules, and could request showings at any time of day. Have a plan in place for pets and kids, especially during the first few days on the market, so it’s easy to step out at a moment’s notice.

Selling your White Rock home requires a little bit of hard work, and lots of attention to detail. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, and keep in mind that it will certainly pay off in the end. Making a great impression with your home will help you achieve a quick, stress-free and profitable sale.
