Home owners who wish to put their property on the market often do not realise that, in no time at all and at minimal expense, they can greatly enhance their potential not only to sell their property but to get the best price.

For those who don't know where to start, Coldwell Banker Malta have just published a 20-page publication called The Coldwell Banker Home Enhancement Guide. There is a catchy tagline: 'Little things can make a big difference.'

Geoffrey Ciantar, general manager of Coldwell Banker Malta, said: "Our aim is not simply to sell or rent properties but to enable owners to obtain the best price as soon as possible.

"I am confident this handy guide will prove to be an eye-opener because it offers straightforward, sensible advice. Our sales consultants are also pleased to visit the property to give a free evaluation and offer personalised advice on how owners can maximise on their investment."

According to the guide, first impressions are crucial - "within 15 seconds, a buyer has developed an opinion about your property". It goes on to give no fewer than five sensible tips on making the right impression.

The guide then gives detailed advice on three key areas: the exterior, the interior, and other special features. It also gives you the buyer's perspective.

All you need to do is take the time to go around your property and tick off the points one by one. Even you will be impressed by the result. Free copies of The Coldwell Banker Home Enhancement Guide are available from Coldwell Banker Malta's offices in Attard, St Paul's Bay, Qormi, and Msida or by sending an e-mail to gciantar@coldwellbankermalta.com.
