Most sellers focus on price. The fastest sales come from a few unsexy basics done well.
Declutter ruthlessly
Empty surfaces photograph better and feel bigger in person. Do this before a camera comes anywhere near the house.
Fix the small stuff
Dripping taps, sticky doors, scuffed walls. Buyers count negatives, and each one becomes a reason to offer less.
Stage the entrance
The first five seconds set the tone for everything that follows. The entrance earns more attention than any other part of a viewing.
Be flexible on viewings
The buyer who can only do Saturday at 10 might be the one. Flexible viewing windows sell homes faster than price cuts do.
