As soon as a buyer steps into a pied-a-terre, the buyer will make a decision on the place. That's why staging is so critical. What can you do to achieve your real estate goals?
When you decide to sell, you have to think seriously about removing some of your personal indulgences.
Your home is a personal statement about who you are. But when you put your home on the market, it's no longer your home. It's a product for sale.
The more your townhouse looks like your home, the less it's someone else's home. You want the buyer to be able to see the property as his or her home.
What paint colors will help move your townhouse quickly and which colors will fetch the best price?
Paint is a pretty easy change to make. And, the wrong color inside or out can turn a buyer off from the entire house. On the other hand, the wrong color is relatively easy to correct.
You can save a lot of money by painting yourself. On the other hand, if you can't do a professional job, you're much better off paying a painter to make your property look great.
Your home doesn't need to be picture-perfect but it should be an “artist-ready” piece of canvass.
Every day fill a box with stuff. Not only will this make your home more presentable, but it will also make moving day less stressful and easier to manage.
Get rid of the floor lamps and table lamps. Unless a lamp is critical for showing the home, it should be prepped for moving day and hidden in your storage.
