Getting Creative To Sell Your Property.
I bet you’re tired before you’ve even finished this first sentence, aren’t you? Yes, well, selling a property is an exhausting task. There’s an ever-competitive market out there, and buyers are getting a little demanding because of it, especially securing a vacant property. Given the financial situation over recent years, you might be struggling to sell your old home, or any of your properties, if you’re a developer, at the value you’d like. In some locations, or with specific types of property, you might be struggling to sell the place at all.
What’s the solution then? Well, for me, I found the answer was to get creative. If you want to catch people’s eye, then catch their eye. Don’t copy what every developer in the area has done. Don’t be ordinary. Here are some tips, if you’re still not quite sure what that means.
Start from scratch.
You heard me correctly. I’m talking about a complete overhaul. Don’t worry about cost, because that’s not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about design. Of course you can’t feel creative when you’re looking at a cluttered house that you might have owned for years, even with your family, or through renting it out to others. It’s hard to work around the mess and the worn-out furnishings.
The best way to think of new ideas then, is to picture a blank slate. Think about what you’d do with a property if it was brand new, and you could design every last aspect of it. Then, you can work around that core concept with your existing property. Throwing out old furniture doesn’t have to be costly, and nor does investing in new furniture. Still, it’s a worthy investment either way. The layout of a room can entirely transform a house and pump up the value instantly. You’ll more than receive returns on your investment. Plan your perfect design on paper first, and then make it a reality.
Get some modern gear in there.
Once you’ve sorted the basics and you have a nice, clean, fresh house, you’ll want to think about amping up the value through little bonuses. It’s all about the modern touch, if you want to create a contemporary feel. Technology is a brilliant way of achieving this, because it signifies cutting-edge development without costing you an arm and a leg (if you know what you’re buying and you know where to look).
You can transform everything in your house, if you really put some thought it. You could even get some help with your garage, and click here to see some great new tech for remote-controlled doors. That’s the kind of thing that’ll turn a boring, cluttered space into hours of endless entertainment for the family. Well, of course, I’m assuming there will be other forms of entertainment in your house, but you know what I mean. If of course investing in new gadgets for your home seems like a big expense, there are ways to sell your home without making any renovations, if you don’t want to invest a lot of money. One increasingly popular option is to approach a home buying service, such as the one found at https://webuyhousesinatlanta.
Transform the front and back garden.
This is crucial. The biggest missed opportunity for property sellers is the front of the house. Like any business, you need to make a good first impression. If a retail shop had a boring, messy or old store-front, people wouldn’t ever go in. You want to spruce up your garden and lure in potential buyers.
Remember, adding value to your home is all about the level of effort you put into it. If you update everything, you’ll find that you’ve instantly transformed an old, worn building into a brand new, desirable property.

Great article! Sometimes people don’t realize how small things can have huge impact on value of your property!
Very helpful, thank you for this post!
this sounds like a great product I would love to try it in my home
I’m not planning on selling my house but it is always a good idea to do a good spring/fall cleaning and decluttering.
Great ideas. I especially like the idea of sprucing up the garden. We have a garden in our front yard and I absolutely love it.
Getting ready to sell a house after living in it for 15+ years is a very daunting task!
Every little bit helps to sell a piece of property.
One tip I heard as well it if it smells like apple pie it the home it can help.
The ideas you shared are awesome and not bad ones even if you are not considering selling your home.
Great ideas. My son just got his house ready to sell so he could buy my mom’s house. He did many of these things to get his house ready for the market. He sold it in about 3-4 months when it wasn’t a sellers market in our area. Great post.
Good tips! I think some people either think more about the inside and some about the outside. But both need to be done for the greatest appeal to buyers.
these are amazing and simple ideas!
we are very slow at finishing projects. our front yard needs landscaping as well as the entry to our deck from side yard and driveway. good ideas.. if husband would find the time
If we ever sell we have a lot to do before we put it on the market.
The tips you gave are wonderful. Do not forget to downsize your closets so it looks like you have ample closet space.
I need to fix up the front of my house. Great info.
i used to work in real estate. some of the realtors i knew were all about showing their clients how to declutter and depersonalize their homes so they would sell. it really made a huge difference.
We need to sell our house so thanks for the great ideas!
Thank you for sharing. These are great tips.
I think adding newer tech things to an already worn in house could be a very smart way to sell your house!
Thank you for this! I am going to share this information with daughter as they are thinking about moving. Will need to sell their current place and buy new.
I have never had to sell a home but I love the idea to rearrange furniture to make your home look more open.
These are really good ideas. Thank you
This is nice. I know someone who would like to read about this.
Great ideas, because we have been painting rooms in our house. I want to transform the living room and definitely need some good ideas on how to change the look and space of it. Thanks for this Amazing Giveaway!
Thanks for the tips! I agree that the front of the house should be immaculate but also the inside of the house should be as bare as possible. You want people to see what their furniture would like in it, not yours. 🙂
thanks!
My husband is all about technology and always has the latest stuff so this part will be easy for us! 🙂
I dread the thought of ever selling our house. Not because of getting it ready to sell, but because in our community getting anything else isn’t going to happen. I might do some of these things just to make mine a little nicer for myself.
Sold our house about a year ago. Did some of these but this article is wonderful !
Awesome info! I live in an apt and I’m stuck lol.. my mom just moved and redid alot in the old house. It didn’t cost a whole lot. Simple things can make a big difference.
Love the tips! Great idea not to be ordinary! We all tend to think, that everybody looks for the same thing, in reality we don’t.
I’ve never staged a house before, but these are great tips.
Great tips. When we were selling our house our agent told us to repaint the house. It seemed silly. Why not just give the new owners money back to paint the color they wanted. But I guess people come to a property and if the colors are off-putting they won’t buy. Although I think it is silly and cosmetics should not be in the decision making process, they sure are.
Wonderful and very helpful for info. I’ll be bookmarking this post!
We have an older home and slowly improving it. My husband added insulation, new wiring and we just had a huge tree removed. It was three feet away from the house and was a liability.
Great article, will definitely help when we sell.
What great ideas thank u for sharing with us I really appriecate it
This is such awesome advice! I love the idea of starting as a clean slate and coming up with a plan based on that. You’re right, it doesn’t have to be costly. Thanks for sharing your tips!
Great tips. The realtors always say curb appeal. , if a person doesn’t like the looks of the outside of the home they may not even go in.
It is a challenge to get ready to sell a home..I know!
But, it can be fun and I love staging.
Thanks
awesome ideas
Great tips. I would love to do some of them
Wonderful information. I haven’t even bought my first home let alone selling a property.
I’ve never sold a property before, but these are some helpful tips that I may use in the future.
I’ll be selling in a few months but I’ve already started decluttering.
Have never had to sell property, and rent, but completely agree about the front of the house first impression. It applies to rentals too. Whenever I’ve looked for rental houses, the first sight of the house can make me more excited about the rest of it or cast a negative pall over the rest of it.
These are great ideas. I hate clutter and can’t think straight when junk is all around.
Fantastic ideas, what a great resource!
I wouldn’t mind doing a complete over haul or just doing one room at a time to get things done.
@tisonlyme143
Thanks for the tips. Blank space! 😋
awesome advice, thank you very much!
These are great tips! Thanks for sharing them!
I would love to be able to move into a house. Right now I rent and look at what’s available from time to time.
Sold a house a few years back and having fewer items and less clutter really seemed to do the trick.
Great post! Great tips!
People seem to forget about the outside.
Very nice tips.
We just bought a house and wouldn’t think of selling for maybe 30+ years or so or never, but these are some great tips to know in the future. Thanks!
I’m thinking about selling my home to buy a bigger one,but cost is my biggest concern and some of these tips I can incorporate without much cost.I can do most uprades with help from family and friends to keep the cost down.
Thanks for the tips will use them
Great tips.
love the complete overhaul idea would like to do this
Thank you for such an informative article. I will save this for selling our home in the future.
As much as I wanted to someday, I do not own a home. However, based on what I know from friends selling these sure do seem like some good ideas.
I like all this important info.
Great information! Thank you for sharing! These are definitely helpful ideas.
Great tips, thank you for sharing.
Such great advice! Thanks for sharing 🙂
The clean out and space up is a definite must for most people that have lived in their home for years. Keeping things relativly neutral as far as walls and carpets is as well.
Great Tips, Thanks
Great information. We have been looking to buy our first house so this can be used as a reference to see what the owner’s have done to help sell their place.
Thanks for all the great ideas.
These are very good tips. We have been considering relocating but the thought of getting ready to sell are daunting.
I have learned that if you update everything, you’ll find that you’ve instantly transformed an old, worn building into a brand new, desirable property.
The complete overhaul idea is really good. If you can put out a small amount ‘fixing up’ you can demand a higher price.
great information that is very helpful!
These are great ideas! Thanks!
