How to prepare an apartment to show in front of the letting or sale

To quickly find a customer, you have to play as a cleaner, a baker and decorator.

Dispose of trash

Quite old and dead things or throw Build out through ads site. If you move, it is unlikely that will take them to a new home. Tenants they, too, can hardly be happy, so it makes no sense to keep them. Unnecessary and unsightly items spoil the view, clutter space and scare away customers.

Make minor repairs

Here the approach will be different depending on whether you sell or rent an apartment.

When selling apartments

Most buyers do not appreciate your cool repair, you will likely want to include in the price. They will do everything by itself, and dismantling only increase their spending. Moreover, the repair "on sale" can lead one to suspect: if you are flowing a ceiling covered material web tension? But stripped wallpaper and you can re-stick: the minimum cost, and impression of change.

Upon delivery of the apartment

If the "fatigue" of the situation is visible to the naked eye, it is better to do a little cosmetic

For decoration, choose the most neutral tone. So please get more potential customers.

Uber in the stairwell

Impression of the apartments will start forming long before customers cross the threshold. Therefore, exit to the porch and critically evaluate it. Repairs do, of course, not necessary, but the minimum measures to improve the experience necessary to take.

Sweep up the stairs, clean the window sills with cigarette butts left by careless neighbors, screw the light bulb to prevent people broke legs.

Pay attention to the smell. The consequences of feline walks and rot on the windowsill houseplant can exude a stench that the apartment before your guests simply do not reach. Think about how to fix the problem. Perhaps, on the porch should walk with lighted incense sticks. There is a risk not to guess the smell, but when choosing between vanilla, mint and cat piss first two options would be better in any case.

Place your order in the apartment

Spend test fastidiousness

A fresh look can find dirt where you used to ignore it. Inspect switches and areas around the door handles: they change color because of the frequent touch, if they are not regularly cleaned. Wash plumbing entirely from all sides: dirty toilet spoil all impression. Throw out the old toilet brush and buy a new one - can get away with 50 rubles. Wipe the mirror and the tube.

So, imagine that you must descend to the program "Revizorro" with a secret suitcase to check the purity of the drain in the bathroom, and the presence of dust under the bed.

Arrange things

Clean up the mess only mean enough. Potential tenants may want to evaluate the capacity of the cabinets or the refrigerator, buyers - pantry. When you open the door to them, nothing should not fall out. Give content suitable.

Bottle from the bathroom to the best time to clean the box and out of sight: they often look messy.

Remove too personal

First of all it concerns the intimate details like stock condom. But this includes and things that talk too much about your family and your tastes: photos, trinkets, costume imperial stormtrooper, drum set, which occupies half of the room.

Make the situation more neutral, so the client can mentally put yourself in this room.

But do not overdo it, otherwise the apartment will look lifeless. For some, it is important to see that in this house, people were happy. So leave a couple of items that demonstrate the harmony prevailing in the apartment (and it still does not stock condoms).

Take care about the smell

Ventilate the room before the show. Try not to smoke at home. Change in the cat tray filler. If you do not believe in the natural smell of the apartment, using the age-old course, Prepare something fragrant. Classic - pie or freshly brewed coffee.

Come up with answers to possible questions

You, more than anyone, know the weak points of his apartment. Examine it with fresh eyes: what you would have noticed that you could scare? Think about how to explain the shortcomings and turn them into advantages. When showing the apartment, do not put it on them first, but if the customer has any doubt, then you will have something to say. Advance arguments designed to help and talk with fans unreasonably to bargain.
