Why First Impressions are important when selling your home

Matt from

They say that it takes you 1/10th of a second to judge and form your first impression on someone. Although this saying was probably meant to be about first impressions on other people, there’s no reason not to apply this idea when selling your home. First impressions always count, and it will certainly matter when potential buyers come to view your home.

Jazz up the garden
Would you even consider buying a house if you saw an unmanaged garden full of overgrowth and weeds? Simple answer, you probably wouldn’t think much of the house after seeing how the exterior has been poorly looked after.

Minimise & Depersonalise
You want to make it easier for the potential buyers to see themselves in this house. You should remove any clutter and just about anything that could get in the way of the buyers’ imagination. Keep the look neutral and minimal, this gives buyers some room for them to imagine how this house could be theirs.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
