5 TOP MARKETING TIPS FROM TOP AGENTS 1 . GO OD PHO TO G R A PH Y In most instances, buyers see photos of your home before they see your home in person. Take well-lit, HD photos to spark the most interest in your home.

2. DON’T RELY SOLELY ON THE WEB TO SELL YOUR HOME Lots of people shop on the web for homes, and there are lots of homes on the web. Stats say that 65 million shop for homes in the U.S. every month. However, only 5 million homes are sold in the U.S. every year. It’s a very crowded space, and your home should be on as many sites as possible. Make sure your agent also takes advantage of targeted print when advertising your home. More on this later...

4. MARKET YOUR HOME OFFLINE—LOCALLY Good agents know where potential buyers of your home live, work, shop and play. They use local real estate publications, targeted direct mail, brochures, and other tools to ensure your home gets in front of local home buyers.

5. KEEP YOUR HOME LOOKING GOOD Part of the marketing plan for your home is in your court. This includes how potential buyers perceive it when they walk through the door. Living in a home and keeping it ready to show is a challenge, but it will pay off when buyers find your home more attractive than others they may be considering.

3. MAKE SURE YOUR AGENT INCLUDES MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR MARKETING PLAN Today, we rely on our phones to look up everything, including real estate. Your home should have a marketing plan that includes mobile tools as a significant element. For example, your home should have a yard sign with a text code on it so that potential buyers driving by can look it up on their phone right away.

Put simply, don’t wait around for homebuyers to find you. Get out there and find them through advertising—both online and offline. 17M012A-033017 34206.1.4.012.indd 1

RENOVATE YOUR PLACE WITHOUT

BREAKING THE BANK

We all know that every home needs a facelift every now and then. Whether you’re trying to sell your home or turn it into a more elegant place to live, updates and renovations make a world of difference. These projects can sometimes be costly, so we’ve put together some ideas to add the most class for the least cash.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

There’s nothing like a spectacular view to change your perspective. If you want to spruce up your digs, then your first step is to dust off that paint brush. Painting doesn’t have to be expensive or labor intensive - keep it simple and affordable by choosing an interior door or a single wall to liven up. Study how the lighting in your home affects this surface, and paint it with a fresh, bright color or a rich, deep hue. Remember that the success of a painting project lies in thorough preparation. For under $50 and a Saturday afternoon, you can change the whole feel of a room.

HARDWARE FOR HOME FLAIR

When selling your home, the kitchen should dazzle potential buyers more than any other room. But what if you don’t have the budget to replace your outdated kitchen cabinets? Replacing cabinet hardware is the next best thing. You may be surprised at how much of an impact a modern update from those old wooden knobs will make to the overall look of your kitchen, and for very little money. Plus, replacing hinges and drawer guides provides the perfect opportunity to clean out your drawers.

ROYAL ROOM RENOVATION

Every monarch needs a crown, so if you think your home is fit for a king and queen, show it with crown molding. There is crown molding for every budget, and it’s simple to install on your own. Like the perfect frame for a work of art, crown molding adds a nice finishing touch to any room. But why stop at crown molding around the ceilings? A chair rail around the dining room attracts the eye and protects the wall.

LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE

Ask a photographer, set designer, or painter what the single most powerful element of any landscape is, and they’ll likely give you the same answer: “Light.” If your renovation budget is too tight to knock down walls, build a patio, or install skylights, consider new light fixtures instead. A bold, modern fixture breathes new life into your space. Pay close attention to scale and light temperature for maximum impact. If your home has a vintage vibe, a ceiling medallion can add architectural interest.

ANOTHER MAN’S TREASURE…

So you took all this article’s advice, your home looks fresh and new, and you still have money left over? Great. Take that remaining cash down to your local architectural salvage or repurposing center. Salvage materials have been around as long as buildings have been built (and demolished), but the DIY spirit has never been stronger than it is today. At the salvage center, let your mind wander. Talk to the proprietors. More than likely, they’ll know about every tile, panel, and every kitchen sink. If you have an idea in mind, they will help make it a reality. And if you don’t have an idea in mind, you are still bound to find inspiration for your next home project.

Easy Ways to

Update Your Kitchen The kitchen is most often the heart of the home, but it can also be one of the most expensive updates to a new abode. Large tasks such as relocating plumbing lines, knocking out cabinets, and purchasing a new set of appliances usually contribute to the high cost of updating the kitchen. However, there are simpler ways to refresh the kitchen without putting a dent in your wallet.

1. PAINT THE CABINETS

Replacing cabinets with new oak or walnut ones can easily drive up the price of your upgrade, and are often unnecessary. Instead, try painting your original cabinets. Painting the cabinets with a fresh coat of white has the power of opening up a small kitchen, and can make it seem a lot more spacious. To create a kitchen with a little more personality, try painting your upper cabinets a light color, such as white, cream or light blue; and paint your lower cabinets a darker color, like slate, navy, or black. Chalkboard paint is another great option, and allows your cabinets to have a more practical use, such as keeping track of needed grocery items, important dates, or cabinet contents. Meanwhile, the kids can get creative with the lower cabinets, and hopefully leave your walls alone!

2. ADD UNIQUE TILES Tile is a great way to add color, pattern and personality to your kitchen without spending a lot of money. For a classic look, try a simple white subway tile backsplash. This can brighten up the kitchen without making it look too busy. If you crave a splash of color, try using varied bright colored or patterned tiles on the kitchen floor. Picking up a navy floral print tile can bring color and diversity to an all-white kitchen.

3. UPDATE & ALTERNATE FIXTURES & APPLIANCES

Fixtures and appliances are most frequently used and often incur wear and tear very quickly. The good news is that changing out your handles and knobs is as easy as using a screwdriver. Hardware stores often have a wide variety of unique and colorful knobs that can add an instant dash of color. If you are cramped for room in the kitchen, try removing the doors from your cabinets. This will give your kitchen an airy feeling and allow you to display some of your nicer decorative pieces and those fancy or funky serving platters and china pieces.

4. SWAP OUT LIGHTING

Adding more light to your kitchen will instantly make it more spacious and inviting. Installing a window can be expensive so, instead, try using light colors and new brighter light bulbs to brighten your space. If the existing recessed lighting is not cutting it, try adding pendant lighting above your kitchen island or stove top area. This will add extra light to your space and create a warm ambiance when desired.

5. ACCESSORIZE

Accessorizing your home is a fun and easy way to give any space an instant facelift. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a great way to express your personality throughout your home. Since space is often limited in the kitchen, it is important to remember that when accessorizing this space, items should be practical and functional, and counter space should be clutter free. Try colorful bookends to keep cookbooks in order, funky salt and pepper shakers, or a flea market woven rug to add instant and vibrant energy to the kitchen. Source: HGTV.com
