Made the tough decision to move? Ready to sell your home? Did you put your home on the market and you aren’t getting offers? It is time to consider what options you have to entice a buyer and make your home more marketable? Top on the list should be cleaning your carpets which makes a huge difference in showings with a very small investment that will not break the bank. Clean carpets can make or break a sale
Here are reasons to get your carpets in the best shape they can be in for your potential buyer:
- Move in Ready
Most buyers want to have a seamless quick move and if your carpets and flooring are clean and in good shape, that is one less thing that they will have to do once they are in the house. It is a huge incentive. To these buyers, a carpet that looks dirty and smells bad is just another thing they would need to deal with before moving in. Keeping your carpets clean will show buyers that you are taking the process seriously.
- Health Reasons
If you smell an odor or see a stain, there is typically a problem behind or under it. Dust, dirt and other allergens are lurking in the carpet and can pose a health problem with a potential buyer that suffers from asthma and allergies.
- Odors
After you’ve lived in a house for a while, you get accustomed to the smells and may not notice them. A new person that is not desensitized to your home can walk in and definitely smell an animal, smoke, spill, etc. This can stop the showing or potential contact. Carpet cleaning will get rid of any “just lived in” odors. - Appearances
First impressions are everything! A stain-free carpet is sure to keep potential buyers wanting more. A quality professional carpet cleaning company can help make the most dated carpets look like they were just installed. The technicians from a carpet cleaning company have the knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment to make colors more vibrant and get rid of stains. If you try to vacuum or shampoo on your own, this will only get the surface of the carpet. Stains can hide deep within the fibers which only a professional cleaning company can reach.
- Cleaning vs Replacing
Not sure whether to replace your worn carpet or just get it professionally cleaned in order to sell your home? It just makes sense on so many levels to clean your carpet while you are trying to sell your home if you want to maximize your profit, and get the most out of your house. Purchasing new carpet will be expensive and tough to recoup that cost in the sale of your home. Plus, what if you picked the wrong color for your buyer? If your potential buyer complaints about it, offer a carpet allowance?
- Professional Set of Eyes
A professional carpet cleaner is trained to clean carpets for a living. They do this every day, every week and every year. They’ve seen it all and are trained to find the source of odors and stains. They get to the root of the problem and make your carpets smell fresh and look clean. They are a fresh set of eyes to find things you can’t. Trust a quality professional to get the job done right the first time.
