4 Tips for attracting more buyers & higher offers

It’s not really a question of if the sale price of your home can be influenced—it’s a question of by how much.

You only get one chance to launch your property to market, so it pays to get it right from the very beginning. While every home is different, there are some proven strategies that consistently attract more buyers and lead to stronger offers.

Here are our top 4 tips to help your home stand out in a competitive market:

Step 1. De-Clutter

This is the easiest and most important first step. Clean and tidy each space, and remove any clutter or personal items that might distract buyers or make it harder for them to visualise living in your home.

Tip: If you have too much furniture or belongings, consider putting them in storage until the property sells—it’s a smart investment.

Step 2. Repair & Refresh

Buyers notice the small things. Fix paint chips, patch holes, tighten handles, and replace tired fixtures or fittings. If you’ve got worn carpet, patchy lawn, or old curtains, now is the time to freshen them up.

Even small cosmetic updates can dramatically improve first impressions and overall presentation.

Step 3. Style with Purpose

Once the home is clean and clutter-free, consider using a home stylist or staging service. Professionally styled homes not only photograph better—they feel better to walk through. Stylists use furniture and décor that suits your home’s size, layout, and architecture, helping buyers emotionally connect with the space.

Step 4. Invest in Professional Photography

First impressions matter—especially online. Professional photos showcase your home in the best possible light and help it stand out among dozens of listings. Great photography makes your home feel bigger, brighter, and more inviting, attracting more buyers to book a viewing.

You’ve done the work to prepare your home—make sure it’s captured and presented with the same level of care.

Bonus Tip: Get Advice Early

Presentation is only part of the puzzle. Defective titles, unconsented works, or building issues can derail a deal at the final hour. That’s why we recommend contacting us early—even before you’re ready to list—so we can help you:
