Top Tips for Selling property in Spain from your trusted Estate Agent - Spanish Life Properties

Spanish Life Properties are a family-run real estate agency in the heart of Quesada on the Costa Blanca, we understand that selling your home is a big decision. When it comes to selling your home, first impressions can make or break a sale. Home staging is a powerful way to attract potential buyers, showcase your property's best features, and help it sell faster— often at a better price. Whether you're working with a real estate agent or selling privately, these expert home staging tips will boost your home's appeal.

1. Make a Great First Impression with Curb Appeal

Your outdoor space is the first thing buyers see—make it count. Keep the front yard, patio, or garden clean and weed-free. Add a few potted plants or hanging baskets to create a welcoming vibe. Bonus: you can take the plants with you when you move!

2. De-Clutter & Depersonalise

Buyers need to imagine themselves living in your home. Remove family photos, personal collections, pet toys, and excess clutter. A clean, neutral space feels more spacious and helps buyers mentally move in.

3. Create a Fresh, Inviting Atmosphere

Unpleasant odors can turn buyers away instantly. Air out your home by opening windows, light a scented candle, or brew fresh coffee before viewings. A clean-smelling home is instantly more appealing.

4. Add Warmth with Simple Touches

A bowl of fresh fruit in the kitchen or a vase of seasonal flowers in the living room can brighten up the space and create a homely feel.

5. Keep Bedrooms Neat

Make all beds, tidy surfaces, and hide laundry or clutter in wardrobes. Bedrooms should feel peaceful, tidy, and spacious—especially the main bedroom.

6. Polish the Bathrooms

Bathrooms should sparkle. Clean tiles, mirrors, and sinks thoroughly. Remove personal items and keep toilet lids closed. Neatly folded towels can add a touch of luxury.

7. Tidy and stage the Living Room

Clear away magazines, remote controls, and any unnecessary items. If you have pets, consider keeping them outside or at a friend’s place during viewings to avoid distractions

8. Declutter and streamline the Kitchen

Clear countertops of appliances, dishes, and food packaging. A clean, clutter-free kitchen helps buyers appreciate the space and imagine cooking there.

9. Fix Minor Repairs

Small issues like peeling paint, squeaky doors, or damp patches can raise red flags. Address these problems ahead of time to show buyers your home is well-maintained.

10. Trust Your Agent - Let Your Estate Agent Lead the Tour

Let your real estate agent conduct the viewing—they are professionals trained to present your home in the best light. Only answer questions when asked and avoid offering extra details, as what you see as a selling point may not appeal to every buyer.

11. Give Buyers Space and Room to explore 

Following buyers around can make them feel uncomfortable. Allow them the freedom to explore your home at their own pace so they can form a personal connection with the space.
