Seller tips ✨
Staging a house prior to selling it is one of the best investments you can make to ensure it gets the most traction and highest sale value. “Most people cannot see beyond what is in front of them. They get caught up in past perceptions, so you need to show them what is possible.”
While we provide staging services, these are a few quick and easy ways to stage your home yourself:
✨Declutter rooms- put items in storage if necessary
✨Clean and maintain your home
✨Repaint bright or bold schemes in more neutral, light enhancing colors
✨Invest in good storage- this will make rooms feel well organized and neat
✨Ensure curb appeal is attended to.

The mindset of home ownership has shifted. The average length of time a homeowner stays in one house is now 5 years. Our parents used to buy forever homes but this is not the case for most people now a days!

✨Ways to enhance your entrance ✨

The entrance to your home has the potential to make a significant impression-so make sure it’s a good one! Even with a small budget, there are so many ways you can give your outdoor entryway a facelift that will make your space more welcoming for you and your guests.

Here are a few tips:
⭐️A fresh coat of paint, in a complimentary color to your home’s exterior. Start with the front door and front window frames.
⭐️Define the entryway by marking front corners with flowerpots or decorative containers with attractive plants.
⭐️Don’t underestimate the power of custom-made address numbers and a matching mail box.
⭐️Every few months, refesh your entryway by rotating a set of seasonally-themed welcome mats and decor.

Seller tips ✨

Here are a few ways to maximize profits when selling your home:

Cleanliness is one of the most important things you can do when selling. Top to bottom, you’ll want to do a deep clean and then regular touch-up cleanings before showings.

If you’re looking to make improvements, you’ll see the highest ROI from things like new flooring and fresh paint. Example: Refinishing hardwood floors average a 103% return!

Staging is especially crucial if your home has spaces buyers may find confusing. And there’s no need to drop big bucks- by all means use what you have.

Hire a realtor you trust who is familiar with your area-he or she will be able to tell you what upgrades are worth it and what upgrades aren’t.

Buyer tips ✨

Shopping for a home may be exciting and fun, but serious homebuyers need to start the process in a lender’s office, not an open house.

A mortgage pre-approval is important because:
1. It lets you know what you’re working with
2. It makes you a more attractive buyer
3. It gives you more room to negotiate
4. You’ll close faster
