Selling in Spring
Your Preparation Checklist

With spring just around the corner, the Adelaide real estate market is getting ready to bloom.

Before you put your property on the market, Adelaide’s best real estate agents will tell you there are a few things you’ll need to tackle first.

Maintenance issues need to be addressed, the garden needs to be tidied up, the home needs decluttering and an early spring clean, and your marketing campaign needs to be planned and prepared.

Get outdoors and have a close inspection of your roof, gutters, downpipes, driveway, garden drainage, external aircon units, external doors, doorways, windows and window ledges. Make sure everything is clean and in good working order.

Then do the same inside, and if anything needs repairing or replacing get onto the relevant tradies asap. At Boffo, our real estate agents in Adelaide can put you in touch with local tradies if you need recommendations.

If needed, a coat of paint will give your home a fresh new look, so book a professional painter or get cracking yourselves as soon as there is suitable weather. You want your home to look (but not smell) freshly painted, so you’ll need a week or two before open inspections to air the house and get rid of the paint smell.

The best way to present your home for sale is without clutter, knick-knacks and personal effects. Before you declutter, consider where you could store a lot of your boxed personal effects for the weeks or months it might take to sell your home. And when you’ve finished decluttering… it’s time for a thorough spring clean!

A positive first impression goes a long way with buyers, so make sure your front garden is meticulously tidy. Your backyard is important too, so mow your lawns regularly and get them back into shape with a winter weed and feed. Don’t forget to weed the garden beds and pressure clean any black mould off your driveway.

The best real estate agents in Adelaide will work closely with you to plan the marketing campaign. Photographers, and possibly videographers, drone operators and copywriters will need to be booked, online and print advertising will need to be uploaded and printed, and your open inspection dates will need to be scheduled.
