Home Staging Tips in Palm Beach County... The Heat is On in Florida so Keep Your Cool!
Our days are already in the high 80's in Palm Beach County and it isn't even summer yet! If your home is on the market hopefully you have already called in a Home Stager to help get your house "show" ready!
But now that we're into our summer weather... make sure your house can Take The Heat!
Don't forget!
Curb Appeal- Those beautiful plants and shrubs you planted may begin to feel the heat. With water restrictions in effect, keep an eye on your lawn, shrubs and flowering plants. This is especially true if your house will be unoccupied. If you have to replace some plants, choose those that are drought and salt resistant if you live near the ocean.
You only have to look at a plant for it to grow here. Your lawn that only needed mowing every 10 days in the winter may need to be mowed every 5 days now. Check for insects and disease that may turn a beautiful green lawn yellow or patchy.
Remember.... this is the first thing your Buyers will see. You want them walking into your house wanting to see more.... NOT thinking about all of the work that needs to be done.
Dial it Down!- You'll want your Buyer to linger in your house... spending time to take in each room.... Visualizing themselves and their lifestyles in your house. Remember this... Buyers that are peekers typically aren't going to make offers.
If your home's thermostat is set on "high" while you're away at work or out of town, your Buyers will feel as if they've walked into a sauna. They'll be heading for the front door and the comfort of their air conditioned car without stopping to even look at all of the features of your house.
Pina Colada Here I Come!- who wouldn't want to relax by the pool with an iced cold beverage in hand.... children playing in the pool.... on a hot day?
Check your pool and patio area... is it inviting? What out there says "Come on In!"
* Make sure you patio furniture is clean and in good condition.
* Is your pool being well maintained? With our hot summers, the wrong chemicals or no chemicals can turn your pool from Pina Colada Paradise to the Green Sludge.
* Add pots of colorful plants....
* Put away the mountain of toys or anything else that doesn't belong in this area
* In Florida, being able to enjoy the outdoors all year is why we're here. Don't neglect this major selling feature!
Don't Forget... The Heat is On!!
