3 tips to make the visit to your apartment a success

On the first visit to your apartment, you should get the most out of it.

Decoration and personal items. If you have an excess of decorative or personal items such as family photos, children’s handicrafts, souvenirs of your trips… it is 100% advisable to remove them so that visitors are not distracted by these details. Prospective buyers should imagine themselves living in your apartment or house, so one of the most important aspects is not to have references of the previous owners.

Good lighting. Check that all the sockets and light bulbs in the house work. Light plays a very important role in small rooms helping to increase the perception of the size of the room. We recommend at least 60W of power in most rooms except in some corners where you can place a warmer ambient light making the space more cozy.

Clean and tidy thoroughly! Do not forget the most difficult corners such as behind the refrigerator, tile joints especially in the bathroom and kitchen. The most inaccessible shelves too, often visitors want to see as many storage spaces as possible. Therefore, they may ask to move furniture, open cabinets and look into every nook and cranny. Having the inside of cabinets and shelves tidy can help you a lot and a lot! You never know what furniture your prospective buyer will ask to move.
