Have you been toying with the idea of selling your home? Perhaps you need an upgrade — or it’s time to downsize. Whatever your reasoning, selling a home can be an exciting and profitable experience, especially in today’s vibrant property market. When selling a home, you want to move it in the shortest timeframe and at the best possible price for the local market. Let’s look at smart ways to sell your home, to maximise your profit.
Get the price right
An experienced agent with local knowledge of your area can definitely help you with a price guide prior to preparing for your sale. In addition, there are a few other ways to get an idea of the sale price: you can examine other recent sales in your area through local property data analytics. You can pay for an independent property valuation, or simply get acquainted with your local market and attend other local auctions and open houses to view houses with similar features.

Depersonalise and Declutter Your Home
While you might think it’s inviting to have personal bric-à-brac around and photographs of family, did you know it’s easier for potential buyers to imagine themselves living in your home when it’s more generic and less personal? Whether you’re hiring a professional stylist or not, before your home’s photography session, ensure you declutter and depersonalise.
Up the Wow Factor with Professional Styling
While professional styling is an additional cost — your agent can include it in the selling package — research shows that 85% of staged homes sell for 5-23% of their asking price. Professional styling creates a welcoming space for your open house and the minimalist lines and new furniture will really make your photos pop on marketing pages and signage.
TIP: photography should be aligned with incredible, enticing copy to draw buyers in, so ask your agent if they offer copywriting services too.
Choose a Top Local Agent
Finally, it’s crucial to engage and work with a top local agent to encourage people through the door during your open houses and maximise your profit. Look for agents with a huge local network in your area and agents who’ve had impressive sales in the local region in the last 3-6 months.
