Forbes.com’s 21 Ways to prepare your home for selling!

There isn’t always the need for this one but when there is, we’ll know it! If it has been a while since the walls have been painted there may be stains, dirt, or scratches. Bold colors can also be a distraction for an interested potential buyer. Painting in the neutral colors can appeal to the masses and help keep a buyer focused on the home not the walls. 

This one is definitely situational for a home. We will do what the home needs to stand out in a good way. If simplicity works, good but if fancy is better, great!

This is a tricky one. Personal items are sometimes difficult for us all to move from a special place in our home or pack away while we sell our home. We understand and are very open to compromise. We ultimately want what’s in the best interest of the client always with regard to their home and the memories they have created. 

Let’s open those blinds and curtains to show how beautiful your home is! We definitely agree with this one!

This can be a great actionable item for you when selling. Not only in the form of plants and flowers but things like wood, stone, and water features can really be a wonderful touch to increase the desirability of the home.  

Bulky furniture can work in the right space. Usually larger rooms can accommodate bigger furniture but often in a smaller room, we need to reassess the proportions of the room to visually appeal to a buyer. We will create the perfect design for your home. 

Sometimes it’s easy to organize your closet and sometimes it’s not we totally get it! What we can do is prioritize your items and ensure that the closets haven’t become overfilled and regain a more functional and purposeful space.

We will give a helping hand to ensure that the to-dos get done! The things that have lingered because of your busy life, work, hobbies, etc. can be easily tended to by our network of service providers. 

This means updating old hardware in the kitchen cabinets or changing out those dated faucets. Things like this can be found all around the home. We will assess and offer solutions to improve the home.

When rooms are defined by the décor and furniture there is no doubt in a buyer’s mind on where they fit into the home.  

Surprisingly, we can really spruce up a bathroom with minor details such as a fresh stack of folded white towels and fragrance soaps. Organizers and candles can make a difference. 

Most importantly for photography but always during showings.

We want to make the buyer feel at home when they are in the living room. This is an opportunity to make a big impression.

Fluidity while exploring a home can be very important to people. If there are hurdles or obstacles to get through it may discourage a buyer. We’ll ensure all doors, lights, fixtures are all working and functioning properly.

The smell of fresh-baked cookies or brownies can be the perfect ice breaker. Refreshments and snacks can be a great introduction to some buyers.

This one can be home dependent and also situational but an empty home that is untouched can be a little suspicious to buyers.

Here is where we want to put emphasis on the biggest selling points of the home such as views, kitchen, a great room, back yard, or pool. 

This will be the first thing the buyer will see so we absolutely will spend some time on making it look perfect. We want to cut the grass, paint the exterior where needed, trim the hedges, and fix anything obviously broken. We want your home to exuberate beauty and value. This will translate to confidence in a buyer.
