The One NYC RE Seller's Guide

The Seller’s Role in a Fast Sell for the Best Price
1 – An Objective Eye.
Ask a friend or professional with a keen eye, someone who isn’t in your apartment all the time, to do a quick walk-through of your home and tell you what stands out. An objective opinion is invaluable. This will help you prioritize adjustments and improvements that should be made before placing your home on the market. Stand in your entrance way and take a look at the first thing people see when they walk in your door. That first impression will mean a lot to a potential buyer.

2 – Clutter? Delete!
While it’s evident that clutter must be evacuated from your space, don’t neglect the outdoors, halls, and building entranceways. Think: clean, bright, pleasant, and homey when creating an ambiance that is desirable to viewers. Maximize light by cleaning the windows, walls and floors so everything shines. Increase lighting if a space feels dark or small. You might need to make some minor investments in new paint, wood stain, or carpets—small improvements like that usually reap dividends.

3 – Cents and Sounds.
Cha-Ching---pleasurable things like the delicious smells of cookies baking or soft music will make your apartment seem like a respite from hectic Manhattan life. Make sure all your appliances, drawers, cabinets, and plumbing are in working order. Change blown light bulbs and make all minor repairs. The broken closet rod might not seem important to you—but you want potential buyers to feel they are buying an oasis, not a headache.

4 – Should I Upgrade?
Some sellers make major upgrades before selling a home. Speak to an agent before making any major investments—some might not give you the return you were looking for. Many upgrades depend on the budget of your targeted buyer. New bathrooms in an expensive Upper East Side building might be necessary to woo your buyer, but the same renovation in another neighborhood may just put the apartment out of your potential buyer’s reach.

5 – Photo Shoot.
Snap clear, clutter-free and complimentary photo of the nicest rooms in your home. Especially in the digital age, buyers rely on photos more than anything to make decisions on which apartments to see.
