💰💰Want MORE money for your home? Read this before you list 💰💰
Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make — and the difference between a good result and a GREAT result often comes down to preparation.
Here are my TOP TIPS to help you maximise your sale price👇
1. 🌿 Nail your Kerb Appeal
Buyers form an opinion before they even walk through the door. A fresh coat of paint, tidy gardens, and a welcoming entrance can add thousands to your result. First impressions are EVERYTHING.
2. 🛋️ Declutter, Clean & Stage
Buyers need to picture themselves living there — not you. Depersonalise, declutter, and consider professional staging. If empty, staged homes consistently sell faster and for more money. It’s one of the best investments you can make.
3. 🎨 Fresh paint is your best friend
One of the highest ROI improvements you can make. Stick to neutral tones — think warm whites, soft greys, and earthy tones — to appeal to the widest range of buyers. Don’t forget skirting boards, doors, and trims. It makes the whole home feel brand new.
4. 🚿 Refresh the bathrooms & kitchen
You don’t need a full renovation! Replace taps, update cabinet handles, re-grout tiles, and add fresh white towels and accessories for photos. These small touches make a huge difference to how buyers perceive value.
5. 🔍 Fix the Little Things First
Squeaky doors, dripping taps, cracked tiles, chipped paint — buyers notice everything. Small repairs signal a well-maintained home and give buyers the confidence to pay top dollar.
6. 🌳 Don’t forget Outdoor Living
Outdoor entertaining areas are gold in the SA market. Clean the BBQ, pressure wash the patio, add outdoor cushions, and set the table. Help buyers visualise those summer evenings — it adds emotional and dollar value.
7. 📦 Tackle storage & garage spaces
Buyers open the cupboards and doors. Organised, spacious storage is a massive selling point. Declutter built-ins, tidy the garage, and if needed, hire a storage unit temporarily to give every space room to breathe.
