Why have your home professionally cleaned before going to market?
Having your house professionally cleaned before going to market with the photography shoot and open inspections can have several benefits.
We list 4 reasons why it’s beneficial and will elevate your home above the competition on the market.
Make a good first impression.
A clean house makes a great first impression on potential buyers, and helps to increase the perceived value of the property.
A professional cleaning can help to remove dirt, dust, and grime from hard-to-reach areas, making the house look brighter and fresher.
Professionals can help to highlight the key features of the house, such as shining hardwood floors, dusting high ceilings, or tidying a beautiful fireplace.
Create a healthier living environment.
A clean house creates a healthier living environment for both the current occupants and the potential buyers, by removing allergens, dust mites, and other pollutants.
Professional cleaners can address any unpleasant odors in the house, such as pet smells or cooking odors, which can be a turnoff to potential buyers.
A professional cleaning can also flag any maintenance issues that need to be addressed before putting the house on the market, which can prevent potential buyers from being turned off by these issues.
Reduce distractions.
A cluttered or dirty house can be very distracting to potential buyers, making it difficult for them to focus on the features and benefits of the property.
A clean house can demonstrate that you have taken good care of your property and are invested in its upkeep.
Professional cleaners can also help declutter your house, which can make it look more spacious and attractive.
Take the stress out of preparing to go market.
Arguably the biggest benefit! Having a professional cleaning service take care of the deep cleaning can save you time and stress during the hectic process of preparing your house for sale.
Professionals can also help with the interior staging process, as it provides a clean and neutral canvas for furniture and decor to be placed and decorated ready for photography and open inspections.
Furthermore, if a potential buyer requests a home inspection, the home is ready to show immediately and no added stress or rush to clean every window and surface is required.
In summary, having your house professionally cleaned before going to market can help to make a great first impression, create a healthier living environment, reduce distractions, and take the stress out of preparing for your sales campaign.
