Has Your Agent Shared These 7 Golden Tips to Help Sell Your Home?
But here's the thing: not all agents walk you through how to make your house sale happen.
In fact, most don’t.
Selling your home is about more than square footage and a portal listing.
It’s about creating an emotional connection. Making someone feel something when they walk through the door. That’s the difference between a home that gets viewings… and one that gets offers.
But here's the thing: not all agents walk you through how to make that happen.
In fact, most don’t.
They turn up with a camera, throw a few words on a listing, and hope for the best.
That’s not a strategy. That’s a shrug.
At avocado property, we believe it’s our job to help you present your home in a way that tells the right story and sells the lifestyle that today’s buyers are actually looking for. That’s why we created our 7 Golden Tips for selling your home...
And yes, we literally wrote the book on it.
Below are 3 of the tips we share with our clients all the time: tips that really work.
👉 1. Move 10% Out
Decluttering isn’t about stripping your home of personality. It’s about creating space for the buyer to imagine themselves in it.
We recommend moving out just 10% of your belongings – think kids’ artwork, countertop clutter, overstuffed wardrobes, or “that” drawer. This subtle shift shows buyers two things:
- You’re serious about moving
- There’s room to grow
Top tip: baskets, under-bed storage, and the garage are your best mates here.
👉 2. First Impressions Are Everything
You have 15 seconds. That’s all it takes for most buyers to decide how they feel.
That means your hallway matters. Your front door matters. Your entrance is your handshake.
So, make it count:
- Fresh coat of paint
- Clear out the shoes
- Tidy the porch
- Replace that scuffed doormat
Top Tip: Set the tone before they’ve even stepped inside.
👉 3. Scent + Soft Touches Matter
Your home smells like… home. To you.
To buyers? It’s a blank canvas. Or at least it should be.
We’re not saying fill the air with cinnamon or cookies, but a well-placed candle or diffuser? Game changer.
Pair that with soft touches – clean bed linen, fluffed cushions, neatly folded towels, and you’re not just showing a property. Top Tip: You’re selling a lifestyle. Let the buyers live it whilst they're viewing.
The Bottom Line? Buyers buy with emotion.
The house that feels best often beats the one with more space or shinier finishes.
So if your agent hasn’t guided you through this process… you’re not being picky.
You’re just not being supported properly.
That’s why we wrote this:
Written by the avocado property partners, it’s the no-nonsense guide we wish every seller had before going live on the market.
We share all 7 Golden Tips inside, plus everything your agent should’ve explained about strategy, marketing, presentation, and more.
