Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in yarm will offer to undertake accompanied viewings on your behalf. They will show off your property to viewers, drawing attention to all of the best features. Most viewers are more likely to tell an estate agent, than the owner, what they don’t like about a property.

Selling Tips
Scrub Up
Don’t be scared to get out your favourite cleaning products and really get stuck into those tired areas of your property. The ’nearly new’ look of kitchen units, appliances and bathroom furniture will really go down well with yarm buyers.
Do Simple Jobs
Are you trying to sell property in yarm? If so, you may want to take a good, objective look around. How many small, simple jobs are there that you haven't bothered getting around to doing? The problem is that we become blind to the small flaws after a while (apart from the ones that annoy us), whereas an observant newcomer to your home will spot them straight away. We're talking about curling wall-paper, or borders just need sticking down; Marks on walls, that need wiping off; Dead flies or dust on a lamp-shade; Dirty windows; Old screw-holes in walls that need filling and touching up. Now is the time to put a day aside to do these little jobs, and help achieve the best price for you property.
Clean Out The Loft
Some buyers will ask to look in your loft. If it it is full of junk that looks like it may be left there then this can be off-putting. Also, a nice empty loft will look like it may have conversion potential.
De-Clutter
It’s your home in yarm, you’ve lived there for years, it feels like part of you, and you love it. But if you’re selling, then it’s time to move out mentally! Try to pack away as much personal clutter as you can. Leave a few, favourite items out so that the house doesn’t feel like a yarm hotel, but otherwise present your viewers with a blank canvas, somewhere that they can imagine making their own.
