Getting Ready to Sell your Home…
These tips will give you new ways to highlight and update your home without the time and cost of making major changes. Get those buyers excited enough to break out their checkbooks!
- Lights, camera, action – adding light will allow your living spaces to look airy and open. You may achieve this by painting or simply adding strategically placed light fixtures. Dark rooms can cause a space to feel dull and cramped. Dazzle them with brightness!
- Your own “Green New Deal” – here’s an easy one: hire a landscaper to improve the curb appeal of the home. The exterior is the first thing people will see when visiting your home, and the first thing that will impress them (or turn them off). Beautifying your yard can create a “wow” factor for the home. Lush, green, flowering, fabulous!
- Everyone gathers in the kitchen – updating your kitchen cabinets is an easy way to quickly glamorize your home. Update the drawer pulls and door handles for a quick transformation. You can also paint! With an amazing kitchen, visitors will never want to leave (uh oh!)
- Wide open spaces – sometimes tearing a wall down isn’t needed to achieve an open space feel. It can be as easy as rearranging or perhaps downsizing bulkier furniture. Open floor plans continue to be very desirable, and rooms and spaces that feel larger will bring higher offers.
- Neutral colors will attract others – use light, neutral colors on the walls of your property to attract buyers! Painting a wall a lighter, calming color can allow the space to feel new, well cared for and contemporary, and keep buyers visualizing living there. Quick sale, max $ – let the games begin!
- Oh yeah, we almost forgot: hire a professional stager – studies have shown that professionally staged properties sell as much as 88% faster and for 17% more than un-staged homes. Here at Luxe, our design experts have staged over $2B (yes, with a “B”!) of real estate. We live, eat, and breathe home staging and interior design. We’d love to help!
