Selling Your Home

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage CalBRE#: 01945887

You love your San Diego home! The beautiful memories are precious. However, when you decide to sell your home there are several factors that are important to consider to make sure it sells fast and does not sit on the market while your neighbors sell their homes.

You need to see the home from the buyer's perspective, not yours. Remember that simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance according to Coco Chanel. Keep only the essential furniture. If the room is not spacious, then one love seat in a room might be enough. Don't forget to decorate it with a faux fur throw to make it look more tasteful. To add space to a smaller room, it might be a good idea to place furniture against the wall. Plan a clear path for buyers to walk through the home. Always leave enough room for buyers to walk around the room without any detours.

 

Keep it simple and warm! Earth colors with few colorful decorative items gives your home a warm feeling. You want the buyer to connect with your home, a warm atmosphere helps her/him feel at home. Cream colored walls help create a beautiful contrast with the furniture. I like to decorate homes I sell with colorful ceramic vases. If your home gets enough natural light then you can use a slightly darker paint or wallpaper and don't forget the decorative vases and flower arrangements.
