Important Staging Tips for Your Charlotte Home for Sale

10 Important Staging Tips for Your Charlotte Home for Sale

Selling your home takes more effort than simply listing your Charlotte home for sale in MLS and placing a For Sale sign in the front yard. You simply MUST showcase your home in a way that makes it stand above the competition and be incredibly enticing to potential buyers. One of the best ways to create this enticement is to stage your home so that buyers can see themselves living in your Charlotte home for sale.

Here are 10 very important things to do when staging your Charlotte home for sale.

1. Be proactive– Go ahead and make minor repairs: Go through your home and take care of issues like stuck drawers, missing cabinet hardware, and leaky faucets. This demonstrates to your potential buyers that you meticulously care for your home–a well-maintained home sells faster and for more money than one that shows wear and tear.

2. Remove personal touches:Buyers want to picture themselves in your home, not you and your family. Remove family photos, memorabilia and collections.

3. De-clutter:Clear the bathroom and kitchen counters. Take knick-knacks off the shelves. Pack away half of the kids’ toys.

4. Organize your cabinets and closets:Because interested buyers will look in all of your cabinets and closets, take the time to neatly stack dishes and fold towels. Arrange your spices and canned goods as neatly as possible.

5. Clean as though you’re expecting company:Scrub every inch of your home. Remove cobwebs and the dust collected on your ceiling fans. Scour the grout on the bathroom floor. Replace worn rugs. Hang fresh towels. Clean out your refrigerator.

6. Freshen your yard: Remove and replace dead or dying plants. Trim hedges, rake leaves and freshen the mulch in your beds. Clean the windows, inside and out.

7. Get rid of odors: Take out the trash daily and avoid cooking with strong foods or spices. Boil and apple and some cinnamon prior to the showings or bake molasses cookies or an apple pie–make your buyers feel like they’re home!

8. Think neutral:Neutral colors sell homes. Go ahead and repaint your rooms with a neutral color, especially if your home is decorated with very personal colors or wallpaper designs.

9. Make your rooms look larger: Take extra leaves out of your dining room table. Remove the extra chairs and bookcases in your living room.

10. Rent a storage unit:Don’t stuff your garage with all those items you packed away or removed from your rooms to make them look bigger. Keep your garage looking great by moving the boxes and furniture to a storage unit; you’re going to have to pack them to move ANYWAY! Let me help you stage your Charlotte home or recommend a professional stager for a fast sale. Call me today or email me to schedule an appointment.

Increase Your Charlotte Home Value with These Renovation Ideas

Increase Your Charlotte Home Value with These Renovation Ideas

Whether you’re planning on selling soon or just want a comfortable home to live in now, or a project for spring or the New Year, here are five projects that increase your Charlotte home’s comfort and value:

Unveil hidden hardwood floors: Is there hardwood flooring hiding beneath your Charlotte home’s carpet? If you’re not sure, pull up the carpet in an unnoticeable corner and investigate; this can easily be done with a flat head screwdriver. If you find wood floors, you’ll probably need to refinish them, but that’s a lot less expensive than installing new hardwood flooring.
Install flooring in your bathroom: Installation is typically the most expensive part of this home improvement, so if you can do it yourself, you’ll save quite a bit of money. Choosing a neutral-colored tile adds the most value. So, head out to the DIY store, take a class on how to install tile yourself and if you feel comfortable, here’s your project!
Add ceiling fans: Everyone loves saving money, and adding ceiling fans can actually help reduce your electric bill considerably. Central air conditioning costs about 70 times more to run than a ceiling fan–that’s right seventy! In the summer, fans can cool you by 3 to 8 degrees, allowing you to reduce the use of your A/C and still feel just as cool. Use your ceiling fan in the winter too; just reverse the direction the blades rotate so the air flows up toward the ceiling, and keep the fan on low. This circulates the warm air around the room without creating a chilly draft.
Update bathroom and kitchen fixtures: Replacing outdated or unattractive fixtures is a low-cost, high-impact renovation project. In bathrooms, put in new spa-style shower heads and towel bars. Add new light fixtures, sink faucets, switch plates, outlet covers, cabinet knobs and drawer handles to kitchens and baths. Choose items in colors and finishes that appeal to a wide audience. You won’t believe how changing out knobs and drawer handles can change the room!
Power wash your Charlotte home’s exterior: Make your home look almost as good as new by power washing away the grime. Don’t forget about the driveway, walkways, garage and patio–another inexpensive way to make your home shine above the others!
