Did you know well-placed furniture can open up rooms and make them seem larger than they are? Or that opening drapes and blinds and turning on all lights make a room seem bright and cheery?

It’s a fact: Acquiring the highest market value and elevating your home above others in the same price range often comes down to first impressions. If you are thinking of selling there are a number of things you can do to improve the overall impression made by your home.

Most of our suggestions are no-cost or low-cost improvements and this early investment in your home’s appearance really pays off when selling the home. With this in mind, not only do you want to make your house look it’s best, but you’ll want to make it look better than the competition.

Luckily this can be done with just a little bit of sweat and little to no cost. Typically what’s required is just ensuring everything is working properly and cleaning carpets and walls, eliminating odors and scents, and brightening rooms with natural light and stronger bulbs.

While all the tasks to get a resale home into tip-top shape can seem daunting and expensive, we are here for you. Ideally we want to help you spend the bare minimum required to have the greatest impact on making your home attractive enough to net you more in the sale. We have years of knowledge and expertise on what will and what won’t make a difference in the current market. We also have a strong network of professionals that give us preferred pricing. Remember we want you to net more in the sale so we only give advice that helps you. Hopefully repairs and staging can be kept low cost. However, if you need additional financing to do some needed repairs or paint, we offer a Beautify Program that gets you the repairs and renovations needed to go on the market; and is paid back on the closing of the home.

Remember to get professional advice before making any significant expenditures. You don’t want to pay for things just for someone else to live in it!
