Are you doing the little things homebuyers
LOVE?
There’s never been a better time to
sell a home! We are selling homes faster than
at this same time last year. Think about it,
but don't think about it too long or you just might
miss out!
Millennials are ready for
homeownership and renters are seeing consistent rent
increases. This means more buyers than ever are on
the market for a home like yours.
Home equity is also at all-time
highs, which makes now the perfect time to sell and
get more cash to put toward your next home.
Considering listing your home? Let’s
start with the proven ways to maximize your
returns:
1. Clear the clutter.
Crammed closets and overfilled garages can give
buyers the impression your property is short on
space. Declutter aggressively to accentuate the
storage possibilities buyers get excited about.
Pro Tip: Buyers love to open cabinets
and drawers. Clear those spaces, too.
2. Maximize the possibilities.
A potential home should be a blank slate -- a space
buyers can imagine making their own. Keep personal
items to a minimum and aim for a neutral look.
Pro Tip:
Set the dinner table so buyers can visualize coming
home after a long day.
3. Brighten it up.
Expose as much natural light as possible. For darker
or interior rooms, use high-wattage bulbs in light
fixtures.
Pro Tip: A fresh coat of light paint
makes a home feel cheerful and shows pride of
ownership.
4. Rearrange the furniture.
Can people move around without bumping into
furniture? Does the layout invite guests to sit down
and relax?
Pro Tip: To invite conversation,
don’t make a TV the focal point of any room.
5. Outside views matter.
Exteriors make a critical first impression. Ace
yours by repainting your entry door and polishing
the door handle. Potted plants on patios or
balconies also make the outside of your home feel
welcoming.
Pro Tip: Colorful flowers on window
sills look great indoors and add to the outside
appeal.
