Pool Tips When Selling a Home
When selling a home, there are many considerations homeowners face.
When their homes are for sale, homeowners spend considerable time staging the interior for showings, ensuring they are clean and inviting. They may also update the landscaping to boost the property’s curb appeal.
A swimming pool should showcase the backyard paradise that new owners will be purchasing.
Benefits of professionally staging the pool area
When the home has a pool, homeowners should consider its condition to ensure they bring in the best offer possible. Many have become adept at general pool maintenance. However, hiring a professional is best to ensure the swimming pool and spa are in top form for showing.
Professional pool service
Professional pool technicians clean the pool, removing plaster stains and build-up on the tiles. They inspect the equipment, like motors, pumps, filters, and heaters, to ensure they are in order. While the house is on the market, consider weekly pool cleanings to keep water clean, swim-ready, and sparkling.
Some of the best real estate agents and property management companies always stage the backyard swimming pool area because it adds more value than the cost of maintaining it.
What homeowners can do
When selling a home, there are many considerations homeowners face. However, the more they do to promote the beauty of the property they’re selling, the better chance they have of receiving a viable offer.
While it’s best to let a professional pool specialist maintain the pool, homeowners can do a few things to enhance the backyard space.
Store floats, rafts, and inflatable lounges out of sight for a cleaner look.
Dispose of unused toys no longer in use to keep the pool area clean and clutter-free.
Wash the deck, or hire a service to power-wash it. Consider resealing the deck after cleaning.
Wash outdoor furniture. If there is none, hire a staging company to provide it. Doing so allows prospective buyers to envision hours spent entertaining friends and family with backyard pool parties.
Trim backyard shrubs, bushes, and plants. Keep the lawn freshly mowed.
For a fresh, bright pool that attracts buyers, hire a reputable pool service company to maintain it while the home is on the market.
