“These small steps take time but they can also have a huge impact on buyers and won’t cost you a fortune. Every house is different but buyers have common expectations.  Before deciding on repairs and staging tricks you want please contact me as years of experience have thought me the easiest and most cost efficient ways of doing things.”

• What I can do for you …..
  I will do a market evaluation on your home comparing others in your neighbourhood to yours.  I compare your home to others in your neighbourhood and come up with a fair market value.  I also take a walk thru of the home and let you know what it is you should be doing to ensure the home sells quickly and for the best price.
  So remember before putting the “For Sale” sign out front – call me as its Free and you can save your self hassle.
• What to fix …Before starting I will sit down with you and determine if they are any pressing issues that need to be dealt with first.  Over the years I have developed many relationships with tradesman and handyman and we can usually get the issue rectified without breaking the bank.
  It is important to get these fixes done as it may give potential buyers the confidence to evaluate your property higher.

  The biggest question I get asked is: should I renovate my property or just sell it as is?  The truth is “it depends” on what the “current condition” of the property is and the market. Whilst it is important to address critical issues that a buyer would care about such as plumbing, paint, floors, tiles, and roofing – It is important to ensure the investment in these repairs is returned.

• Staging your home….Don’t underestimate the importance of general appeal.
  As a professional in the real estate industry important areas of the home that buyers pay special attention to, are: the living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and bathroom.

  De-personalize your home to appeal to more buyers-  Remove personal mementos like family photos, trophies, or souvenirs that will prevent buyers from picturing the home as theirs.

  Remove your extra stuff to ensure your home looks bigger and the architecture can be emphasized  – Over the years everyone collects a fair amount of souvenirs.  Pack up everything you don’t need anymore. A good way to get rid of extra stuff is to rent a storage unit until the house sells or use the garage.
  Expect potential buyers to open closets and cabinets.Serious cleaning will be needed before showing the house to buyers.   A clean home conveys to buyers that you have taken good care of your house.

  Get rid of odors – Pay attention to odors as it is definitely a no-no.  This becomes a real challenge if you are still living in your home.  If you have a scheduled showing, pay attention to what you cook in the kitchen as it can make the whole house smell.  Cigarette smoke also clings to furniture, fabric, and walls.

  Prep the rooms – If you are still living in the home I can help you prep it as you want people to envision themselves living in the home.  Rooms must show a defined purpose with as little furniture as possible. Consider this: nice hotel rooms are comfortable, appealing, but impersonal.

  • • This also includes:
      Taking care of your exterior/yard – A messy exterior will give buyers the impression that the owner did not take care of the property. Most serious buyers will not make an offer if they think they will have to sink a whole lot of money in the house to live there

      Increase curb appeal – The goal of curb appeal is to make the house look attractive enough for potential buyers to want to see what’s inside.
