So You Want to Sell Your Home In Greensboro North Carolina
First of all we need to determine if you really do want to sell and what is your motivation? Are you looking to Downsize? Maybe you have been relocated with your job? Whatever the reason if you really want to sell your home then we will need to focus on the basics first.
- De-clutter your home. You are wanting to move anyway right? So go ahead and pack up most of those knick-knacks, maybe even take out some furniture. You need to clear out some of your possessions.
- Neutralize your color scheme. Lighter colors will make a room look larger. If you like bright colors that is fine but in order to appeal to the largest group of potential home buyers you need to offer them a blank canvas they can make their own. Just think if you walked into a room that was deep purple on one wall and blood red on another with black carpet. Now this is a bit of an over dramatization but you can see how that would be a turn off to you and would taint your image of that home. Why do you think all those builders always have neutral colors in their homes?
- Clean up the yard place some fresh pine straw or mulch in the beds. A minimal costs to put a great cover on this book. Remember as much as we preach not to judge a book by it’s cover it always happens.
- Now lastly I want you to do a little test. Simple and while many of you may not be able to remove those blinders that keep you from your home with a unbiased set of eyes some of you will.
1) Go out side you front door and shut the door.
2) Close your eyes and imagine you are walking into someone else’s home
3) Write down the first thing you see.
My question to you is what did you see an item in the house, a picture on the wall, or a piece of furniture that you noticed first OR was it a feature of the home; perhaps the crown molding, some beadboard paneling, a chair rail, maybe a beautiful hardwood floor?
You see?! Did you notice your possessions or did you notice the home? We are trying to showcase and show off the home not your personal possessions. That is unless you are planning on giving them away with the home?
So if you are ready or wanting to get ready to sell your home and would like a team of professionals that are dedicated to their clients. We pride ourselves on going above and beyond normal practices and earning our title of Personal Concierge Realtors®
I will freely admit that I got the idea for this posts from our very own Debe Maxwell the Realtor® Queen of the Queen City Charlotte, NC.
