The Top Improvements to Make Prior to Putting Your Home On the Market

How do you capture the attention of buyers who are looking at many homes and you want your home to be the “standout”, when they decide which home they want to buy? What features will buyers look at in your home that will differentiate it from the other homes they see?

Based on recent research and my 28 years of real estate experience, the top 4 improvements you can make to your home before selling to ensure that it is shown at its best, plus Guarantee that your home will sell faster and at a higher price are:

1. De-clutter and repurpose furniture

2. Re-landscaping the front yard including planting colorful flowers and putting bark in flower beds

3. Painting the exterior trim and interior

4. Staging the home

A staged home sells 80% more quickly than a non-staged home and for 7% more*.  These improvements are cost effective solutions that make your home “sale ready”. We have a team of experts who can cost effectively, quickly, and in a stress-free manner complete these items for you. We coordinate the entire process.

ForSalebyOwner.com Founder Hires a Broker!

According to Daily Real Estate News, the founder and former CEO of ForSalebyOwner.com recently listed and tried to sell his New York condo on his own. After six months of advertising his home through classified ads and for sale by owner sites he gave up and hired broker Jesse Buckler. Buckler immediately advised Sambrotto on a price change to help attract the right type of buyers for his condo. Sambrotto’s decision to hire a professional paid off. It led to multiple offers and a purchase price $150,000 over his original asking price! The Wall Street Journal has reported the listing sold for $2.15 million and that Sambrotto paid a 6% commission. Well worth it!

Why Stage Your Home?

Why Stage Your Home?

Because homes that are staged sell 80% faster, and for 7% more than non-staged homes*.

Most buyers do not have the imagination to see beyond what the home looks like when they first see it, so they cannot visualize the home de-cluttered, painted in different colors, with different furnishings, etc. Major builders have conducted studies and confirmed that staged homes sell faster and for more money. That is why they spend the time and money to create a model home with the most desirable paint colors, inviting landscaping, and furniture staged to allow you to visualize living there.
