charlotte home seller tips: 4 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR BEDROOM LOOK BIGGER USING PAINT
- 03/19/23 11:54 AM
4 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR BEDROOM LOOK BIGGER USING PAINT
1. Paint your walls light colors.
The reason this works is simply because lighter colors will reflect the light, making it seem brighter and roomier. Darker paint absorbs light, which will feel smaller and more constricting. Paint the walls a light, lively color to make a small room feel much larger. When thinking about your bedroom design, try to stay away from dark colors.
2. Monochromatic paint.
Coordination is an important feature of any room design and the best place to start is with your paint. Use monochromatic paint colors throughout the room to create … (8 comments)

charlotte home seller tips: Pricing Your Home to Sell in a Softening Market

Pricing Your Home to Sell in a Softening Market
The summer selling season in in full gear. Home sellers who were looking forward to sky-high prices and the multiple Offers their neighbors and friends got 3 months ago, may find disappointment in a softening market. In a declining market, pricing a home becomes critical to success.
Pricing your home in a softening market
The first step is to realize the market has changed. Buyers will not overpay for a home in an uncertain market. Whereas just a few months ago it might have made sense to “test the market” and set an aggressive … (24 comments)

SELLERS: Update it, Fix it and Achieve Exceptional Results Selling Your Home
I thought I would share a recent comment by a seller whose home had been listed before, but with no serious Offers. When informed that there were several items that needed updating and repaired, the husband said, "If they don't want my house the way it is, we can wait for the next buyer."
WHAT? So no one has explained the current market conditions and how buyers want EVERYTHING done? Yes, it's a sellers market but, that doesn't mean you want to 'settle' for a lower price.
I am seeing buyers … (34 comments)

Charlotte Sellers - Are High HOA Dues Keeping Your Condo from Selling?
If you’re a Charlotte condo seller in a complex with high HOA dues, there’s a good chance that those high dues are interfering with your condo sale. Buyers typically search for pricing that is within their mortgage range but, often forget to include the HOA dues for the complex. Buyers often don't realize that the HOA dues cover items that they are used to paying separately - the inclusion of water, cable & amenities are often forgotten in condo write-ups.
A good agent will keep their buyers informed about the Homeowners Association dues but, … (2 comments)

Seller Tip - Now Is the Perfect Time for a Coffee Bar in Your Charlotte Home
I remember opening up our second office in the Ballantyne area a few years ago and being 100% certain that it has to have a coffee bar! We had a wide variety of coffees, creams & sugars and of course, mugs from which to choose to have your morning, afternoon or evening brew. I loved it and every customer or client that came through the doors, made mention of it too. Needless to say, the coffee bar was a big hit.

What to Repair in Your Charlotte Area Home Before You List
When representing buyers or sellers, I often find myself saying, “Put yourself in the [buyers] sellers shoes.” It is understandable if a seller feels hesitant investing money to fix up their current house prior to selling. However, as a seller, you may not realize that some of the issues you live with everyday and consider minor, may actually be considered major to home buyers. Such issues as the hallway light switch being loose or the kitchen sink that has a plumbing issue, can actually be deal-killers following the buyers’ home inspections. … (32 comments)

Staging - Beyond the Visuals
When we think of staging, we often think about the ‘visual’ impact that a home will have on potential buyers. Our mission is to stage each home so as to capture the interest of as many potential buyers as possible.
Yes, staging involves sight, but the sounds, smells and even tactile effects of the house are just as important as the visuals. In fact, all of our senses can subtly impact the emotional response of buyers and yes, all buyers, whether they are conscious of it or not, are buying with their senses.
Our goal as the listing agent is to make … (61 comments)

The Charlotte Spring Housing Market - How to Prepare for It
Of course, any time of the year is a good time to sell a home - it's true but, the deeper truth is that our spring market is like none other. Homeowners have been 'cramped up' in their homes, hibernating (especially these last two bone-chilling winters) and they are simply itching with spring fever - dying to get out of the house! Those homeowners who have felt 'closed in' or tired of their current home are precisely the ones who become buyers and sellers and spring is when they make the move!
