In this article we are going to list the most important, and cost effective home improvements that will help you to make your house for sale more marketable, and as a result to attract more buyers, and to sell it quickly.

Whether you have a big villa in Phuket, an apartment in Bangkok, or a townhouse in a charming small town in Isaan, this article gives you practical advices regarding how to sell your property as fast as possible.

When it comes to put on the market a property, many landlords forget to prepare it for selling fast. I think this is a big mistake. Home owners should not list their property without any advance preparation. Many landlords make the mistake to think this is not important, and that it will be the responsibility of the buyer to fix the small problems of the house. For example patching a small hole in the wall, replacing a broken toilet lever, fixing a leaky tap, or replacing a damaged light Switch. However you should try to put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer. For example if the home buyer see that the owner does not care to fix a leaky tap, he will think that it is probably because the house is too old, and there is no worth spending time, and money on it. As a result he will not buy your apartment, and he will decide to go for one of the many brand new apartments or houses that are available in Thailand instead.

If you hire a real estate agent to sell your property, it is his responsibility to advise you what parts of the property you should improve or renovate. Alternatively many property owners decide to sell their home by themself. This option is getting popular in Thailand because there are a number of websites that allow you to list your property online. For example SnapHome.asia is 100% FREE for property owners, and it allows landlords to list their property online. It is the easiest and most cost effective way to find a buyer for you house, villa or condo in Thailand. If you decide to sell your home privately, it will be up to you to inspect your home and decide what need to be fixed or renovated in order to make the home more desirable for viewers.

1) Paint the Walls. The easiest makeover you can do.

Decorating is one of the most cost effective ways to make your home looks new and more expensive. Choosing the paint colour is probably the most difficult decision when painting the walls of your home. If you want your home for sale to look posh, and elegance is what you are after we suggest plain a light colours. These will also make your room looks bigger. Painting interior doors is another great idea. It automatically creates an expensive feeling for the property viewers, without causing much damage to your bank account.

2) Make your house simple and tidy

This is an important point, especially if your apartment for sale is not big. This is the case for many properties on the market in Bangkok and other big cities in Thailand. Do you have a small house with various kind of furniture in it? If the answer is yes, you have to know that this kind of house would look narrow, and would not impress many home buyers. You should reduce the furniture and decoration. Make sure the furniture that stay in the house are the ones you are using everyday. This way, your house is simple, tidy, and with a fresher atmosphere.

3) Store the unused stuff

Do you have items that you do not use lying around your rooms? For example piles of magazines, and books. These should be put in boxes, and stored in a wardrobe. It will give a new look to your apartment. If every room of your house looks simpler, and more tidy, you will attract more property buyers, and you will sell your house in Thailand faster.
