From the moment prospects arrive at your home, it should be evident that the gardens and lawns are well presented. Garden rubbish should be disposed of and paths and porches kept clear of debris. Toys, sporting equipment and garden tools should be stored away to enhance the appearance of your backyard and garden.

Your home should be kept neat and tidy during the period of inspections. The home should create an inviting atmosphere by ensuring the arrangement of furniture is in a comfortable position. Utilise fresh flowers, indoor plants or paintings as they always brighten up a home.

Make sure that all minor repairs are completed. Sticking doors and windows, loose doorknobs, faulty plumbing, peeling paint or faulty flywire may affect your sale.

It is imperative to let plenty of light into your home. Nothing improves atmosphere more than brightness. On a dull day it is advisable to switch lights on prior to the arrival of prospective purchasers.

A warm, comfortably heated home on cold days adds a feeling of cosiness. On a hot day don’t forget to turn on the air conditioning or fan (or simply let the breeze flow through).

Avoid having too many people present during inspections. First National Real Estate agents are familiar with and understand the buyer requirements and can therefore better emphasise the features of your home in line with buyer needs and priorities.

As a general rule, it is advisable to turn off the radio and television during an inspection (as they can be distracting). If you have pets, it is advisable to keep them out of the house. Let the First National Real Estate agent and potential buyer talk, free of disturbances.

There comes a time in life when you need to move on.

Whether you're making a job change, retiring or just in need of a change of scenery, one thing is certain when it comes to the sale of your home: your main objective is to determine the best and most realistic price for your home and to achieve it in the least expensive and quickest amount of time.

You may think selling a house is easy and that the first person who walks through the door will fall in love with your home. But if you ask yourself how many houses you inspected before you brought your current home, and how many other people have been through the home before you purchased it, you'll realise that there is a lot of work and expertise involved.

Perhaps what you really need is a good real estate agent.

Your home will probably be the most valuable possession you will ever sell and Tuross Head First National Real Estate is here to help.

What is the role of a real estate agent?
