presentation Hawk woods relies on the
following four things to make sure that
every home is ready to while the next
person in through the door declutter the
first step is simple clean and tidy your
home before the viewing but also remove
any clutter that might distract a
potential buyer from picturing
themselves in your home repair make any
aesthetic repairs like paint chips while
before the viewing to retain value in
the eyes of the buyers style consider
making use of a home stylist or a
professional home staging specialist to
make spaces look comfortable and livable
for all buyers
photograph consider making use of a
professional photographer to take
quality well-lit pictures of your home
to help with a turnout on the day
instead of turning them off before
they've reached the front door your
property may not need all of the above
so great way to check is to stand in the
buyers shoes and ask yourself what will
distract you if you are inspecting the
property what would you want to replace
or update if you were thinking of making
an offer if you were to say to yourself
this place is great but how would you
finish that sentence
