We are asked a lot about about how the process of selling a property works and where to start!? It’s not something most of us do every day so it’s understandable that knowing exactly what’s what isn’t high on our agendas. Moving house can not only be a very stressful experience but it can seem a little overwhelming too.

Whether you’re in a 1-bedroom flat or a 5-bedroom house, getting your bedrooms and bathrooms in order before a viewing is a must. There are no rules about how to decorate these rooms to sell your home, but in our 28 years in business as auctioneers selling properties across Kildare and Ireland we have found that cleanliness and a neutral design are the most important.

Many of us spend a substantial part of our lives in the room that's often cited as the 'heart of the home'. It’s not just a place where we go to cook, it is a multi-functional space for many households, where we also do homework, watch TV & socialise.

The Entrance Hall has now had its makeover…..the next room on view is the Sitting/Living Room. The name says it all. It’s where we go to relax and unwind. It tells a buyer all about our lifestyle.

So now you have got the front of the house and garden ready, we can now move onto the first and the last room a buyer is going to see… the underrated and sometimes neglected Entrance Hall.

Decluttering every so often is an important job for all homeowners, but if you are thinking of selling your home it becomes much more important. You want to showcase your home and make the house look amazing!

Home presentation is extremely important as first impressions will be formed very quickly by prospective purchasers. One of the first things we do when we carry out our initial inspection is to make any recommendations to a seller which we feel would be beneficial in the presentation of the property for sale.
