How to prep your house for sale with the help of storage units

There is a lot of planning that goes into staging an open house and one of the many things that will help you out in this task are storage units.


Getting your property to attract tenants on an open house and requires a little bit of marketing and interior design know-how. This is especially the case if there are many options available in the area and you must establish your property as the cheapest and chicest. There is a lot of planning that goes into staging an open house and one of the many things that will help you out in this task are storage units. 

Here are our top tips for preparing your house for sale.

Decluttering Day

D-Day is the most crucial step to having your house appear pristine and livable when the tenants come to screen it for defects that they can then use to sprawl a bargain out of you. We recommend going through everything that you do not need and that would drive away potential buyers. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to get rid of these items as you would in a regular decluttering scenario. This is just ensuring that there isn’t any of your personal belongings lying around for potential tenants to see as it creates an off-putting ambience. 

Protect Valuables

The most important reason why you need to use self storage is the safekeeping of one’s belongings especially when a lot of f strangers are expected to be inside your house. Items such as jewellery, collectables, paintings, and expensive appliances a be moved into storage during the open house. This is especially helpful when you have a larger property and following the potentials, tenants around and keeping an eye on everything isn’t physically possible. During conversations about the material, insurance and price negotiations you may get distracted and later find something that an expensive crystal bowl you set on the console is no longer there. 


Cleaning 


Cleaning your house is a must whenever somebody is coming over. It is a reflection of you as an individual and you should always keep the house clean and neat. But when you are staging your house for a sale you should especially be presenting the best face of it. And that means deep cleaning the entire property. Whether it is window panes, doorknobs or simply just the shine of your china from inside the showcase, you need to give it your best. A clean and decorated place will likely draw more customers in and the fact that you have the place neat and tidy for an open house creates a better and more trustworthy image of you as a landlord. 

Finishing touches

When preparing your house for a sale you need to ensure that there is no expense spared. People need to feel at home when deciding upon a property. The slightest thing can bug them, and they might make it about the thin walls or the lighting but really it is because they just didn’t feel at home there. It is a lot more about prying on their emotions than you think. So, hang on the home sweet home key hanger, put an adorable ‘I hope you like cats’ foot mat and burn a delicious smelling candle. Create the vibe that you would look for when deciding upon a new home.
