2. First impression

The first impression that viewers often get is of the outside of your house. Make sure that the path that leads to your house is visible and clear. Having a well-maintained (front) garden is essential.

3. Presentation of your home

When the viewings start, it is important that the potential buyer has a positive first impression. You can increase the experience of a viewer by keeping the following in mind:

• Less is more: Having too much furniture can limit the walking space.
• Personal items out of sight so that your looks calm.
• A clean home.
• Make sure your house has a nice smell as this is one of the first things taken into account. 
• The right room temperature, a warm home, for example, gives a 'home' feeling.
• Repairing minor issues gives a good impression regarding maintenance. 
• Lots of light so your house seems bigger.
• Be careful with pets and flowers, as potential buyers can be allergic to them.

4. Professional pictures (and possibly a video)

Having professional pictures ensures a good appearance for the potential buyer. Pictures which are of good quality are noticed faster and leave a good impression. Preferably, have the pictures taken on a sunny day, the lighting will make your house look more spacious.

Nowadays it is also possible to have a video made in which the potential buyer gets a better insight before the viewing. Videos tend to catch one's attention quicker. 

5. Marketing

With the right timing, network and marketing, your house can be sold quicker. As an NVM real estate agency, Estata ensures that your home is optimally shown on various websites as listings.
