While every property has good points, some have aspects that would benefit from improvement. With a little thought and energy you can make the most of the good points. Presentation is everything and it is often what sells the emotional appeal of the property.
Your Paragon Property consultant will organise some simple tips to help show your property off to its best advantage. Apart from ones like making sure your garden, grounds and exterior are well maintained, it is often one of the little things which can make a big difference. First impressions count! Amazingly it is estimated that over 50% of houses are sold even before the prospective buyer opens the front door. The immediate 'road appeal' can have a huge visual and emotional impact and create a large influence on the way your property is perceived upon closer inspection.
The tips that follow are a few practical ways in which you can make an instant positive impression:
* Ensure your pets are secured so that they won't annoy visitors.
* Attend to any little maintenance jobs such as sticking doors, windows, dripping taps etc.

* Ensure your kitchen is spotless and the working areas are uncluttered.
* The delicious aroma of brewing coffee or aromatic candles will convey the impression that your home is there to be enjoyed.
* Bathrooms and toilets should be gleaming-a dish of scented potpourri or soaps add a nice touch.
* Make sure walk in robes are tidy to highlight a sense of space.
* Mirrors in smaller rooms can also convey a feeling of spaciousness.
