TIPS
Utilize these tips to maximize the value of your home and get maximum profit in your pocket.
A home that’s priced too high will be overlooked by qualified buyers; parties who can afford your home recognize they can get better value elsewhere. The closer to market value, the inclination of other Realtors to show your property to qualified Buyers, and the more competing offers that are presented to you; a well-priced property means a quicker sale.
Your biggest return on investment come from your kitchen and bathrooms. The quickest, most inexpensive updates include painting and new cabinet hardware. Be "show-ready" at all times – Don’t leave dishes in the sink, keep the bathrooms sparkling and make sure there are no dust bunnies in the corners.
Arrange your furniture to best showcase the floor plan and maximize the use of space. Update your walls with a neutral-color paint so you can present buyers with a blank canvas where they can start envisioning their own style.
Storage is something every buyer is looking for and can never have enough of. Empty out half your closets, then neatly organize what’s left. Buyers will snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets and cabinets clean and tidy.
Placing your home on the market requires objectivity. Store away family photos, memorabilia collections and personal keepsakes. The less personal items in your home, the more buyers can imagine themselves living there.
Maximize the light in your home. Take down the drapes, clean the windows, change the lampshades, increase the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the bushes outside to let in sunshine. Adding mirrors will reflect light and make your space appear bigger than it is.
