Minor repairs
The entryway is the home's calling card to the discerning buyer. Put a light bulb in the stairway, carefully mop the floor, put a clean rug at the entrance - not difficult manipulations, but they can play a significant role in the buyer's decision. The kitchen can also be cleaned with a simple dusting of the surfaces and make sure the kitchen does not look cluttered and uncluttered. A full trash can and a dirty cat bowl will not make a pleasant impression. It is also advisable to clean the space under the sink, where many experienced realtors and buyers like to look. You can't do without minor repairs in the bathroom. It is better to call a locksmith and pull up all the current faucets, and replace the shower hose. You can glue the loose tiles with construction glue. Wipe off all dust and soap scum from the tiles.
Visual tricks
In the rooms and the corridor, it is better to remove all the short, long mats, as they visually narrow the space. You can even rearrange the furniture, to increase the area of the room. Bulbs should be replaced with brighter ones - they visually make the ceiling higher, and the room itself is wider. A window, which opens a pleasant view, should always be opened, and vice versa, with a poor view - covered with curtains. If there is a closet, you should put all small things and stuff there. While viewing the apartment, the best style is minimalism. But you should not put things on the balcony, this mini room is often viewed by buyers very carefully.
Time of the transaction
In order for the transaction to take place, it should not be scheduled for the morning and afternoon hours from 16.00, that is, the peak hours and the period before the end of the bank and the depositary. For alternative transactions, it is worth starting all activities in the bank from 10.00 and up to 14.00, depending on the number of participants in the transaction. The best time for simple purchase and sale transactions is from 11.00 to 15.00, when the public transport is free and the roads are not busy. Thus the pre-sale preparation of the apartment is ready, the only thing to do is to wait for the buyer and your experienced real estate agent will tell you in detail about all the advantages of the property for sale

Factors affecting the cost of housing
Almost everyone, at least once in their life, and some more often, faces the need to sell or buy a home. When you are faced with such a question, it is good to know what the price of the apartment or house depends on and which factors influence the final price.
One of the determining factors is the location of the house. In our country, an apartment in the city center is always more expensive than one located closer to the outskirts. The explanation is simple: the center is the “heart” of the city, which has a better infrastructure, more facilities necessary for the population, there are more stores and parks, it is easier to get to any part of the city, and just to live in the center – is prestigious.
If we are talking about a major city where there is a subway, the remoteness of real estate from the subway stations also affects its price. Of course, the intensity of traffic plays a major role, but the presence of the subway station in the 100 meters from the building will affect the price upwards.
An important factor is the age and type of housing. Everything is clear with the area: more is cheaper.
Floor area and the availability of elevators play a significant role in determining the price. Apartments on the first or the last floor are usually the cheapest.
What else? Of course, the living conditions. The presence of a balcony, running water and garbage disposal, as well as the cosmetic appearance of the housing can seriously change the price in one direction or another.
And finally, one more factor: the environment. The ecological situation depends on the area of the city and the presence of production nearby. A puffing chimney outside the window is not the best influence on the health of the tenants, and the price in this case goes down.
