Tips For Selling

Presenting Your Property To Maximise Value

Better presented homes will generally sell quicker and for higher prices. Prior to offering your property for sale, we would be delighted to spend some time with you and advise what improvements, if any, can be made. Here are some tips to consider:

Target Market

Consider your target market and then try to tailor your space to appeal to the main group without alienating other groups that might also be interested. So if you feel your home will appeal to families, then turn the office into a playroom or family room and make a space for a workstation elsewhere in the house.

First Impressions Count

‘Kerb Appeal’ – Spend time tidying up the outside of the house – plant flowers, trim bushes, weed, repaint the front door and gate. Ensure the front looks tidy and appealing.

De-clutter

Clutter doesn’t sell homes, it makes them seem smaller and disorganised. Take time to remove as much as possible without leaving the rooms bear. Clear kitchen worktops as much as possible leaving just the kettle, coffee machine and fruit bowl.

Fix It

Got a dripping tap or a cracked tile? These will send the wrong message to potential buyers. From removing grubby sealant to replacing damaged areas of carpet, try and get all issues repaired before putting the house for sale.

Freshen Up

A fresh coat of neutral paint, new tiling or carpet, if required, will make a huge difference and will be money well spent.

Clean Up

It is essential that the property be spotless. Getting professional cleaners in to really make the place sparkle will be money well-spent; have the carpets, sofa covers, oven and windows cleaned. Pay special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms, which need to be inviting and hygienic; finish up with fresh towels; and a strategically placed plant or two and fresh flowers. Finally, the garden is now seen as an additional room, so be sure to make your garden feel like a great space for entertaining and relaxing.

Preparing For Viewings

First impressions count and you’ll want the house to appeal to as many people as possible; the more people there are who like the property, the higher the selling price should be. So sweep up, and make sure the front garden and hall to your house are tidy and inviting. Leave the pets with a neighbour. Turn the lights, lamps and heating on; air out the house; don’t smoke or cook before viewings and make sure the beds are made.

We bought our house in Knocknacarra with him 10 years ago and sold recently. I would highly recommend him. We had an excellent experience with him, he always kept us updated throughout the sale despite some issues we encountered. Mike is responsive, kind and really helpful when it comes to reducing the stress which is typical with house moves, in our case a move abroad.

As a first time buyer it was important for us to work with someone supporting the process rather than just trying to sell. Even after closing he was available for questions. Highly recommended!!

I was very apprehensive at the beginning,  as it seemed such a daunting process for me and my two sons, but Mike  Mullery was there every step of the way, and made the whole process effortless. Mike catered for my specific situation and customer care was clearly of paramount importance to them. I couldn't recommend Mike and his team more.

He gave expert advice, was a serious and reliable business partner and made the whole selling experience very easy for me. He always stayed in contact with me, I never had to wait long for a call back from him. The whole procedure of selling was a very pleasant one with him accompanying me every step of the way. And in the end his professional way of handling the business got me a real good price for my property. I am more than satisfied working with Mike and can only recommend him. Thank you Mike once again for your excellent work and cooperation.
