Five Tips To Quickly Sell Your Property

An estimate that does not match the local real estate market price risks delaying selling a home. In the case of a real estate transaction, it is not so much the price at which you bought your house or your apartment that matters (even if a “ capital gain ” is always welcome!), But how much it is worth today. In most cases, a real estate whose sale goes on forever (and incidentally puts the nerves of future sellers to the test) has been overvalued and does not correspond to local demand.

Take care of the home presentation

Clearly, without transforming your home into a “show house”, declutter the space as much as possible and carry out the repairs that you had until now put off until the next day.

Depersonalize your interior

Because it is possible that the potential buyers do not share your taste in terms of decoration, in the event of an inheritance, it is strongly recommended to put in the cupboard the boar’s head, which sits on the wall of the dining room of your late grandfather … Not to mention that it is easier for a potential buyer to project oneself into a “lambda” house rather than into an interior strongly marked with the imprint of the previous occupant. For example, your 13-year-old rap fan will have a hard time imagining himself in the pink candy bedroom of an 8-year-old princess. And we understand it!

Highlight the strengths of your home

Sunny days would be more conducive to real estate sales than the rest of the year. But playing the seasonality card can be wise. If your house has a fireplace, nothing like a good outbreak to charm potential future buyers who would not be immune to the attraction of a good fire (especially if the visit takes place in the middle of winter). Likewise, if you have a beautiful garden, do not hesitate to stage it ( home staging also applies to the outside of homes). In short, anything that could constitute an “added value” and allow your home to stand out from other real estate offered on the market should, in no case, be hidden but, on the contrary, proudly displayed!

Let people know that your home is on the market

You must communicate about your sales plan. Talk about it around you but also via social networks and ad sites. However, be careful not to overdo it! Multiplying simple mandates with different real estate agencies is certainly a good intention (optimizing the chances that your ad is seen) but risks overexposing your property (and therefore discrediting it). And for a good reason, if they see that your house or apartment is listed for sale at different prices on several agency sites, potential buyers may find it suspicious that you are putting so much effort into getting rid of it.

Conclusion

To sell your property, you have to play the card of fair price and simplicity. The soberer the decoration, the more potential buyers can “project” themselves. The more the price of your house/apartment corresponds to the reality of the market, the more likely it is to quickly find a buyer. …

Storage: Our Complete File For An Organized Home

It is not enough to have a large dressing room, a beautiful wardrobe in the entrance or a multitude of cupboards in the house to be tidy. For storage to be efficient, you have to focus on organization and respect a few golden rules: sorting, banishing the superfluous, taking advantage of nooks and crannies. So many tips that we reveal to you so that you find a perfectly tidy house. 

Optimize nooks and crannies for maximum storage

The storage is not reserved for large spaces. Even a tiny studio can be tidy, provided you know how to optimize the space. We use all the nooks, niches, alcoves, and hidden spaces of the house to transform them into storage space. Thus, we can install shelves above the doors in a hallway, fix many hooks, slide wheeled bins under a bed to store unused bed linen, wedge lockers under a staircase to store everything you need. ‘we want. By taking advantage of nooks and crannies, by making a quirky space an asset, you will quickly discover endless storage possibilities!

Divert storage furniture to create your style

To do well, it is customary to multiply storage furniture. But for a more trendy side, we can also divert some of these pieces of furniture to store something else entirely. Thus, we use a bookcase to store dishes; we divert a toy box to store shoes, reuse lockers and boxes to create a design bookcase, or succumb to a display cabinet to store clothes … Boxes and baskets are also perfect allies, especially for small surfaces where it is necessary to optimize all the spaces. 

Impose yourself rules every day

Finally, for an organized house, you have to adhere to a few – good – habits. The first step in storage is sorting. We establish piles, to keep or to give, to throw away or to resell, according to its needs and the state of the objects. We banish from our cupboards the extra, and we separate ourselves from objects of which we no longer have the usefulness without sentimentalism. We take good habits, adopting the reflex of returning a room to the state in which it was found before settling there. Thus, we store our dishes near the sink, the dishwasher, and the table; we store the bed linen in the corresponding rooms, the towels directly near the bathroom. All of these little tips, combined with some self-discipline, should help you find and keep a tidy and organized home.
