It All Starts with Curb Appeal

The way your home looks from the street can make or break the sale. A large percentage of home buyers decide whether or not to look inside a house based on its curb appeal. The good news is that you can help the situation by spending a little time freshening up its exterior appearance for a great first impression. The best way to get started is by viewing your property from the home buyer’s perspective. Ask yourself what is your first impression of the home front, what are the best and worst features and how can you enhance, improve or minimize them?

ATTENTION TO THE HARD SURFACES Make sure the sidewalk and front walkway are free of debris. If necessary, give it a clean sweep and remove weeds that may be growing between cracks. Remove grease or oil spots and fill cracks in your driveway.  Powers wash the driveway, walkway, patio, and deck.

LANDSCAPE PARADISE! OR NOT? There are times that adding elements to your landscaping can help curb appeal, but there are also times when simplifying is more effective. Keep the grass mowed and the weeds pulled. Trim trees and bushes. Plant flowers to add a touch of color.  Tidy up the outside by removing any leaves, debris, branches, and other “yard clutter” to make a neat and tidy appearance.  Pick up any garden equipment, buckets, rakes, shovels, lawn mower, etc. and coil hoses neatly.  Give the hedges a fresh trim, paying special attention to anything blocking windows or getting in the way of walking to and from the house.  Spruce up the lawn by cutting, trimming, weeding, and fertilizing where necessary. A greatlooking lawn makes a better impression than a neglected lawn.  Color it up by adding some bright annuals in places that could use some brightening, or add a colorful potted plant at the entryway.  Fresh cedar chips or pine straw around the base of trees and flowerbeds gives a fresh and maintained look for a small cost. 5|Page

A HOUSE FACE-LIFT Does the outside of your house look dull or dingy? Give it a face-lift with a good old-fashioned paint job or power wash. If you think you might have some problems, do the inspection yourself beforehand and make any fixes you can. Repair loose roof shingles and clean the windows (both inside and out). Add shutters and install window boxes with bright flowers to the front of the house. Replace a weather-beaten mailbox and house numbers.

 Pressure Wash the outside of the house if necessary, and consider painting if required. If the color is “dated” – a fresh coat of paint on the outside can make the house look completely updated.  Look at the mailbox. Does it need freshening up? Maybe consider replacing it if it needs it.  Make sure the numbers on the house make it easy to find, and consider getting new ones if it would improve the look from the street. Cut back vegetation that may have grown over the numbers.  Make the windows sparkle. Clean the windows and repair any caulking or paint that needs attention.

If your home was built before 1978, new federal law gives a buyer the right to request a lead inspection.

AT THE FRONT DOOR Continue the allure with a friendly front door. Restore its luster with a few coats of varnish or spiff it up with a rich, new accent color. Make sure your doorbell works. Repair torn screens. Clean outdoor light fixtures  Make the garage and front door look as inviting as you can.  A fresh coat of paint and kick-plate can inexpensively transform a front door. Make sure the garage door is not dented or dirty. Small details can make a big impression.

DON’T FORGET THE REAR VIEW (Back Yard) Buyers doing a drive by will try their best to see your backyard. If it’s visible from another street or from someone’s driveway, it should be a part of your curb appeal efforts. So make sure to apply the same effort by keeping the grass mowed, the weeds pulled and the trees and bushes trimmed. Treat your backyard like a living space in your house. Minimize furniture to the essentials and hide all the kids’ toys.  Clean the pool and keep it sparkling and free of pool toys, pool equipment, and rafts.  Neaten and refresh any play areas such as fresh sand in the sandbox, fix and clean up any rusted or dirty swing sets , slides or other playground equipment.

The Entryway Sets the Stage!

The buyers’ first moments in a house are their moments of greatest anticipation about what’s to come. It begins in the entryway that you set the stage for their experience throughout the rest of the house. Since it is the first sense they will encounter upon entering your home You can start out by setting your home’s fragrance. This is your opportunity to make a big statement in small area by making your foyer a welcoming featuring. a natural flower arrangement and continue with smaller arrangements throughout the house. What you need to avoid is strong pet, cooking and tobacco odors. Having pleasant music playing in the background will also help set your stage.

Here are some tips to make the front entry experience a great one:  Do your front entrance and front door make a good first impression? A fresh coat of paint and a seasonal wreath make a good door great.  Simple and elegant flower arrangements can add some color and define an entry way.  Replace any torn or worn screen doors and make sure the door is in excellent working order. No squeaking, jamming, or sticking locks. Make it effortless to enter the house.  Does the front entrance light work? Replace the light bulbs to brighten up the entry, and make sure exterior lights and entry way lights are on if people are coming at dusk or after dark.  If your foyer is small, brighten it up with a high watt light bulb and a light-colored coat of paint if appropriate.  Once inside, make sure the immediate entryway is free of clutter, shoes, coats, umbrellas, and anything that takes up space.  Weed out all the “clutter” from the entry table, or shelves in the front entry. Pick up extra key rings, mail, and other stuff that gets piled up at the front door.  Clean out the front closet of all but immediately used coats, boots, shoes, hats, gloves, and all the other clutter that gets thrown in the closet.

Can the Buyer See Themselves Living in the Living Room?

The living and family rooms are where your new buyers will do most of their “living,” so you want to make the space as inviting as possible. Clean and spruce up all rooms, furnishings, floors, walls and ceilings. Remove knickknacks from tables, countertops and bookshelves. Remove all unnecessary furniture to make your rooms appear more spacious. Brighten rooms with a fresh coat of paint. Choose neutral shades of white, off-white or beige that will coordinate with most decors. Give your home an open, airy feel by opening the curtains and pulling up the blinds. Turn on as many lights as possible. Here are some tips to make the living and family rooms appear their best:  If you have a favorite “old” chair that doesn’t go with the rest of the furniture, remove it. Big furniture can weigh down a space.  Place a vase with flowers on the coffee table, or a tray with a tea pot, cup set and napkins.  Take down or rearrange pictures or objects that create the sense that this is your home. Patch and paint if necessary.  De-Personalize: Remove all knick-knacks under 10 inches tall and all personal pictures, awards certificates, etc.  Vacuum your floor each morning. Consider getting your carpets cleaned before potential buyers view your house.  Clean the fireplace.  Leave some lights on during the day. During “showings” turn on all lights and lamps.  If the carpeting is in poor condition, shampoo it or consider replacing it.  If your furniture shows the effect of raising five kids or if pets have ruined the rugs and upholstery, think about storing or removing your existing furniture. Buy, borrow or rent what you need.  Put away your holiday decorations unless you are showing your home during the holiday season.  Have your DVD collection, CDs, and video games out of sight.  Open the drapes and blinds. Nothing is more depressing than walking into a home where shades, curtains and drapes are closed. 9|Page

Making the Most of Your Kitchen and Dining Room The kitchen is the heart of the home, and it’s the most highly valued room by buyers, so you want to make it show its best. Kitchens should be absolutely spotless. Remove excess kitchen appliances. Make sure all major appliances are working. Clean the oven and refrigerator inside and out. Remove magnets from the refrigerator door.  You can cut down on visual clutter by removing items you normally store on the counter. This will help your kitchen look more spacious. (small appliances and canisters, dish racks etc.)  Your eat-in kitchen should have a table and chairs. Buyers often don’t have the vision to see it as such without the furniture.  Remove window screens in the kitchen. Screens take away from allowing natural light inside. Plus, no one will notice they are missing.  Keep the exotic spices and fish to a minimum when cooking the night before a showing. Work towards achieving a “clean" smell.

      

QUICK TIP! Run a lemon through the garbage disposal for a fresh smell. Make sure the house smells good: bake an apple pie or cookies for a homey scent and don’t forget to hide the kitty litter. Thoroughly clean all your appliances and cupboards, including the inside of your oven and microwave. Shine your faucets and knobs If your cabinets show wear and tear, you might want to paint them. A simple trick to update the look of your cabinet doors is to replace your knobs with new ones. It’s much cheaper than getting a new kitchen and it sure can make a difference Remove notes, pictures, and coupons from the refrigerator door. Empty your trash cans. Garbage and recycling bins need to be out of sight. Many buyers will look inside your cabinets, so make sure the inside is organized and clean. Also store non-essential items elsewhere to make the cabinets look more spacious. Make sure that your counter is spotless and shiny. If you keep fruit or flowers on your counter, be sure they are always fresh. Set the dinner table with your best china to stimulate your buyers’ imagination of the dinner parties they’ll host 10 | P a g e

Make the Bathroom Sparkle

Next to the kitchen, the bathroom receives the most scrutiny. Some inexpensive designer tricks can make your bathroom look like an inviting spa. Remove stains from bathroom fixtures, repair dripping faucets and polish mirrors. Add sanitizers to toilet bowls and keep lids down. Wash and fluff bathroom rugs, hang luxurious towels. Potpourri and scented soaps add a nice fragrance to the air. Here are some tips especially for the bathroom:  Always empty bathroom trash cans before showings. Also, put the trash can under the vanity to clear floor space – you want the bathroom to appear as big as possible.  A new shower curtain is a great investment – very little money for a big impact.  Keep your shower and tub area spotless. Buyers will often look behind the curtain, so make sure the area looks as good as it can. Keep shampoos and soaps to a minimum.  Scrub tiles and whiten the grout so it all sparkles.  Replace or paint the vanity if it shows excessive wear and tear. Replacing knobs can give an updated look to an older vanity.  New silicone beading can do wonders for your shower, tub and sink area…especially if the caulking is stained or cracked.  Things like toilet cleaners, plungers, and hampers add clutter; put them away while you’re selling your house.  Keep any reading material out of sight in the bathroom.  Place personal items (such as hairdryers, makeup kits, and hairbrushes) in cupboards or drawers.  Hang matching new towels; go for the best-quality towels you can, they add a sense of luxury just like shower curtains add a sense of freshness.  Remove everything from the countertop, except a pretty soap dispenser, candles or fresh flowers.  Repair or buy new faucets if they are leaky or worn out.  Shine your faucets and knobs and try vinegar to polish away water spot. 11 | P a g e

Look at These Big, Beautiful Bedrooms!

Bedrooms are a key part of the home buying experience. Bigger is better. Just like other areas of the house, clutter takes up space and makes rooms look smaller. Nobody comments favorably about “lovely, tiny bedrooms.” Remove all unnecessary furniture and give it a fresh coat of paint. Keep all closets organized and uncluttered. Pack away out of season clothing and holiday items to make space in the house. To keep the entire house uncluttered, consider renting a storage unit for unneccessary furniture and packed boxes. This helps keep the homes storage spaces clean and organized(closets, basement and garage). Make sure that all stored items are neatly organized and out of the potential buyer’s way giving them ample space to move around the room. If it’s possible, try to keep the car space in the garage free of items to give the potential buyers the opportunity to picture their own vehicle(s) in the space.  Candles and fresh flowers are excellent accessories on bedroom furniture.  New bedspreads or quilts make a bedroom look inviting.  Make your bed look pretty and make sure the bedspread or quilt fits the bed properly and hangs low enough to cover the view under the bed. Buyers won’t look under the bed, so you can store other non-essential items there (preferably in low storage boxes).  Put away the stacks of reading material on night stands and leave room for one good book.  Put away all items that are hanging off the backs of doors. Cluttered and clanking doors often make the room feel smaller – especially if they don’t allow the door to open all the way.  In kids’ bedrooms, be sure to put the toys in boxes or bins, and slide them under the bed.  In kids’ rooms, posters, photos, drawings and awards are all personal items that should be taken down for showing the house. You want the buyers to imagine the rooms as their own.  Remove the super-ninja turtle posters or torn-out magazine covers in kids or teenagers’ bedrooms.  Remember that buyers are most likely going to look in your closets, so a better place to hide things is under the bed. Make sure the closets are as spacious looking as they can be. Remove all the clothes, shoes, and items that you won’t be using right away.  Items that you don’t need should be taken out of the closet to make them more spacious. Get an early start and pack items in boxes and store them in the garage or basement.  Coordinate your clothing in your closets and line shoes up neatly so it looks as organized as possible. 12 | P a g e

Create a Clutter-Free and Functional Home Office Working out of the home is a reality for many people today, so a functional home office space can give your home a competitive advantage over other homes on the market. Try to make the space as functional as possible, and if it’s part of another room, make sure and maintain the main function of the room. Here are some home office tips:  Pack up & store all the files and paperwork you don’t need for everyday function.  Store all personal and confidential or client information out of sight. Set up a password protected screensaver on your desktop.  Remove and store bulky filing cabinets that take up a lot of space and to make the office look bigger.  Clean everything off the desk surface, leaving only items like your computer and desk lamp. A neat desktop makes the work space look more functional, and the lighting makes it look more inviting.  Weed out the postings on bulletin boards or wall organizers. A few things are okay to make the office look organized and functional, but an overcrowded bulletin board just looks crowded.  If your office is a part of another room, make sure it doesn’t overpower the main function of the room. If it’s in the dining room, consider setting up temporary space elsewhere.

Making the Most of the Basement & Laundry spaces If you have a basement or laundry room, you want to make the most of the space by brightening it up and making sure it’s clean and inviting. Nobody wants to go into a dark and crowded room to do laundry, so do your best to make it as inviting as possible. Here are some simple tips:  Tidy up and organize your basement. Discard, donate, or recycle items you can give away.  If you have unfinished concrete floors, paint the concrete to give it a cleaner look.  Be sure to clean and polish the washer and dryer to give them a bright and shiny look.  Put all detergents, laundry items and irons out of sight. Remove any residue that may have accumulated in the laundry sink.  A bright throw rug in front of the washer and dryer will often help cheer up unfinished laundry rooms. BASEMENT AND GARAGE These spaces are important even if unfinished, because it shows potential additional storage.

Overall Home Staging Tips  Give the house a real “once over” cleaning. Clean it from top to bottom. Clean houses have a competitive edge over dirty houses.  Do some plant and flower triage, removing the ones that aren’t going to make it. Clean the leaves of the healthy ones and make sure they’re watered and looking great.  Let some air in. Open windows to air out the house and get rid of any “stale” odors you may not even notice. Springtime fresh is ideal to a potential buyer!  Clean and deodorize carpets, paying special attention to high-traffic areas and stains that can be removed. Professional Cleaners have all the tools needed to bring your carpets back to life.  Make sure the house smells its best at all times. Keep cat boxes clean at all times, and preferably out of the sight for showings.  Start packing now. Pack up everything you don’t use right now, put it in boxes and store the boxes out of the house if possible. Your home will sell faster and you’ll breathe a sigh of relief.  Weed out the magazine racks and coffee table. Only the most current magazines should be in view.  Put the bookshelves on a diet. Pack up most of the books on your shelf, leaving only the larger books and lots of room on the shelves. Overcrowded bookshelves shrink the appearance of a room. 15 | P a g e

 Think model home. Remove “extra” furniture and accessories. Make it appear spacious, not crowded. That favorite chair may have to go for now.  Let the buyers see their lives in your house…not yours. Store excess family photos, the “wall of fame” and anything that is too much a reflection of YOUR life. We want them to focus on what their life would be like in their new home, not the museum of your life.  Check all the light fixtures and lamps, replacing burned-out or low-light bulbs with bright white bulbs. Make sure light switches are functional; consider updating them.  If the couch, chairs or loveseat need some updating, try a neutral slip cover and add accent color with some throw pillows. If needed, consider furniture rental before any new and costly purchase.  Check for squeaky doors, and add a little WD-40 to remove the squeaks.  If necessary, paint interior walls. Paint is relatively cheap, and a great return on investment. It doesn’t have to be white, but stay away from the other end of the spectrum. Neutrals are always a safe bet.  Remove any peeled or torn wallpaper and borders.  Check the window coverings to make sure the blinds work properly. Clean them and keep them open to let in as much light as possible.  Remove all valuables and make sure confidential documents are out of sight, and safe. Ask your sales associate for additional tips on getting your home ready to sell.. Potential buyers usually feel more comfortable when the seller is not present and they are free to explore there new home
