Farmers Branch, TX Homes for Sale: Seller's To Do List for Today's Market (Part 1)

Seller's Home Appeal for Today's Market

Thinking of putting your home up for sale?  After years of hearing from successful sellers that they didn't have to do a thing to get their home ready to sell, they now need to understand how they can stand out from their competition.

Here is Part 1 of a handy list to help sellers determine if some features in their home might need some attention.

·  Test all door and cabinet knobs. Replace mismatched or inexpensive hardware for a quick update. Buyers rarely can get beyond a knob that comes off in their hand as they attempt to use a door.

·  Take the time to paint walls, trim and ceilings. Keep adjoining rooms in one color palette, which will make your home appear larger. Clean up spills from messy painters. Hire professionals to paint mullions on windows and staircase spindles.

·  Slipcover mismatched furniture in a room that requires visual unification.

·  Discover ways to organize day-to-day room needs. Substantial wicker baskets or square stainless steel or brass containers can organize magazines, remote controls and toys. Books provide a good look, but vary them by laying some down and standing some up.

·  Wallpaper is considered fill-in-the-blank decorating. No two people have the same taste in this instant decorator wannabee. If it's more than three years old, take it down and paint in a neutral color. And wallpaper borders are out.

·  Simple furniture rearrangement can bring new life to a tired space. Float sofas and coffee tables away from walls for a designer look. Use area rugs to anchor furniture groupings on bare tile and wood floors. Place groupings of candles and clear glass bowls filled with natural potpourri, fresh fruit or glass crystals on side and coffee tables.
