Top Pre-Sale Home Improvements to Maximize Property Value

Are you looking to sell your home and get the best price possible? According to Adrian Goslett, regional director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, pre-sale home improvements are essential, especially in tight market conditions.

With high interest rates and slow economic growth, qualified buyers can be hard to come by. To increase your chances of selling at a top price, it’s important to get your home in good selling condition before listing it on the market.

RE/MAX of Southern Africa shares some key pre-sale preparations that sellers should tackle before putting their property up for sale. These include enhancing curb appeal by gardening and power washing the exterior, decluttering and depersonalizing the interior, and ensuring thorough cleaning, including professional carpet cleaning.

A fresh coat of neutral paint, modernizing fixtures, and addressing any visible damages are also recommended. Additionally, ensuring that electrical systems, plumbing, roof, and foundation are in good working order is crucial.

Goslett emphasizes that preparing your home for sale involves a combination of aesthetic updates and essential repairs. By creating a welcoming and move-in-ready environment, you can attract more potential buyers and secure a better sale price.

If you’re unsure about how to best prepare your home for sale, Goslett suggests seeking the advice and expertise of a RE/MAX agent. With their guidance, you can create a space that buyers can envision as their future home, ultimately leading to a successful sale at a top price.
