Selling an apartment is more than just posting an ad. To get the highest price and sell faster, it’s important to prepare your property properly. Potential buyers evaluate not only the size and layout but also the overall impression.
- Make It Spotless
Cleanliness is the first sign that the property has been well-maintained.
- Wash windows, floors, doors, and light fixtures.
- Remove dust from furniture, appliances, and window sills.
- Pay special attention to the kitchen and bathroom — buyers inspect these areas closely.
- Do Minor Repairs
Small defects can make the apartment feel neglected.
- Patch or repaint cracks in the walls.
- Replace burnt-out light bulbs.

A few upgrades can make your home look more attractive.

Minimalism visually expands the space.
