Written By: admin on November 9, 2009 1 Comment

Packaging and design kills competitors in many markets. It’s no wonder millions (billions?) are spent on this unseemingly significant part of selling a product. In your case as a home seller, your home is your product and while you can’t change certain things such as location or the floorplan of your home, there are many things you can do to increase the desireability for your home.

If you haven’t done so alredy, the most cost effective and easy thing you can do is to remove clutter and put in storage everything you don’t need. If you have books on a book shelf, leave only enough to take up 30-50% of the total book shelf space. In your bedroom closets, leave only enough clothes to take up no more than 30-50% as well. This gives home buyers the illusion that there is tons of space. The closets will seem roomy and they begin to see themselves filling it up with their own stuff.

In sales a great strategy used by the best salesmen is to get the customer to see themselves using the product before they buy it. This is what you accomplish with these tips.

It’s important to neutralize colors and remove any decorations. This will allow the buyer to imagine their own decorations and desired colors.

You must declare war on dust and dirt. There are things you can clean easily that will really lift the look and feel of the home. If you have tile floors, chances of your grout being dirty in the kitchen area and high traffic areas is extremely high. You should either clean it or paint it. Both methods are cheap and easy.

Fix everything no matter how insignificant you may think it is. When it comes to negotiating the significance of little problems seem to become extremely big and may cause you the sale of your home or thousands of dollars.

By following these tips you will increase the emotional appeal of your home. Home buyers buy based on emotion and by targeting their emotions you can drive up the price of your home and sell it faster.
