Branocs selling tips.
Arrange a free valuationMake your home as presentable as possible before we come to photograph your property.
Our team offer the highest level of marketing and quality presentation available for your home, however we always advise having a good old de-clutter prior to selling, and ensuring that your floor and surface areas are as clear as possible for our marketing photography. We pride ourselves on offering the highest level of quality photography as the first impression counts. We will also advise removing vehicles from the driveway when we come to photograph your home, to ensure we show the full face of the property without any obstruction.
Stock up on the scented candles and fresh flowers!
Coffee and freshly baked bread may be a little cliché, but there is an element of truth behind the theory that smells sell homes. Now obviously a candle alone isn’t going to sell a home, but it’s the small details like this that make a home feel much more inviting and can often sway a buyer. On the flip side, a bad smell in your home is guaranteed to put off potential buyers, so stock up on the febreeze and plug-in’s before your next viewing!
Go and have dinner or go for a walk while our team of experts shows off your home.
Find a cosy spot elsewhere while we sell your home for you. We pride ourselves on being able to host viewings for our clients whenever possible, it’s what we do best. Plus, having an empty home makes the viewing experience a much calmer one for the prospective buyer. So go grab a coffee or take a long walk and let us take care of of the selling while you simply relax.
Be proactive in your search for a new home while we sell your current one.
While we sell your current home, keep searching for your next home in the background and identifying an area of interest for your onward move. This will also demonstrate to prospective buyers that you are a motivated seller, helping to keep the chain moving as efficiently as possible.
