Charlotte Home Seller Tips: 10 Ways to Prepare Your Charlotte Home for Its Close-up
Ever had a close-up shot that seems to show every pore in your face? You want your skin to look it’s absolute best at all times but, especially when you’re having that portrait done–or that close-up photograph. The same goes for your home when you’re putting it on the market for the world to see!
Literally, the world wide web has your home EVERYWHERE for all to see. The winter season makes staging, or the concept of showing your Charlotte home at its best, even more important. Follow these tips to make your Charlotte home for sale simply irresistible:
- Make every surface shine: This includes bathroom fixtures, stove, refrigerator, faucets and countertops.
- Sweep your front porch: Sweep away all those leaves stuck in the corners. If you need to, give it a little pressure washing with your hose.
- Clean, Clean, Clean: Everything from lamps and light fixtures to bulbs and baseboards, ceiling corners to tile grout.
- Add fresh flowers: Put them on the entry table, dining room table and anywhere else that needs a splash of color–make those buyers feel ‘at home.’
- Remove all clutter: Hey, you’re going to have to pack it away to move it anyway, right? Why not put it in storage or a friend’s garage? Remove all of your personal pictures. Buyers want to picture their belongings in the house, not yours.
- Fresh scents: Bake something to leave out for potential buyers or boil a slice of apple with some cinnamon–everyone loves the smell of grandma’s house!
- Leave every light on and take advantage of natural light: Open all curtains and blinds as well as opening every interior door.
- Warm it up: Adjust the thermostat so your home is warm and inviting.
- Clean the windows: Buyers act on first impressions; the strong winter sun can reveal grime and turn away prospective buyers.
- Show off hardwood floors: Pull up that wall-to-wall carpeting, clean the floors, store the throw rugs and show the wood!
