Online photos

One of the best ways to heighten interest in North Shore Drive homes for sale is by posting numerous quality photographs online. Studies prove that a listing with more than six photographs has twice the chance of being viewed by buyers as homes for sale in Bellingham WA that have fewer than six photos posted. The hunt for a new home begins online 92% of the time.

Post a video about your home for sale

Whether your home for sale is near Lake Whatcom or elsewhere in the area, a proven way to grab huge interest is with a video. A simple camera-phone video or FlipCam video is all that is needed. Make the film a sincere expression of what you love about your home for sale in Bellingham. Knowing that the home has been loved and appreciated has a positive impact on potential buyers. It actually helps buyers picture themselves building a great life, whether in homes for sale in Silver Beach or near Queen Elizabeth Park.

Create a pleasant experience for the nose

Here’s a little matter that can have a huge impact on whether homes for sale on North Shore Drive can sell quickly: Smells. It’s normal for people with pets, for instance, to become accustomed to the smell of their home. If a potential buyer looking for homes for sale near Lake Whatcom, for instance, identifies animal scents, it’s likely a big negative. Even if a house smells from leftover fish cooked the night before or from garbage, buyers don’t like it. Refrigerators are often the cause of an unpleasant odor that might be difficult to identify but that is definitely picked up on by potential buyers with a great sense of smell. Actions should be taken to ensure a pleasant aroma throughout your home.

More little things to help sell a home in Bellingham

There are many strategies to help attract buyers of homes for sale on North Shore Drive and throughout Bellingham. Some are costly and some require more work than expense. The following are more little things that could be of benefit as you seek a buyer for your property:

• Have some unused space in closets and cabinets because it will help make them appear larger.
• Replace outdated bathroom fixtures. This small upgrade can become the big selling point.
• Remove stains from upholstery and clean the carpets.
• Give the bathroom the appearance of being diligently maintained. Add new caulk around the tub, replace the shower liner and curtain, and give attention to scrubbing of corner baseboards.
