Bathroom Fix up

Blah builders mirrors can be replaced quite inexpensively and add real zing. Switch out the lighting for a little chandelier.

Declutter!!!

Be heavy handed! Less nicknacks measn more room for the Buyer to imagine their treasures in those places.

Hotel Chic

Sleek and simple is the rule for the bathroom and bedrom. Neatly stacked white towels. Replace towel bars and toilet paper holders. Perhaps a small try holding unwrapped soaps and a candle.(But go easy on the fragrances)

Replace Cabinet Pulls

Brushed steel  or decorative ceramic look great.

Fresh Linens 

Replace tired bedding. If you are using current bennind, make sure its clean, crisp and pressed.

 

 

A Little Staging, Goes a Long Way.


10 Tips to Show off your Home:

 

Depersonalize

Every Buyer has to imagine themselves in your home. Your own quirky tastes, or funny family pics take away from the illusion. Bright walls might need some neutral paint.  


Top Condition

Walk through your home with a critical eye. Torn screens? Fix them. Burnt out bulbs? Replace them. You could ask a friend to walk through and point out areas that need repair.

Scale of you furniture and design

You might need to remove oversized furniture. It might be comfy...but if your furniture is oberbearing and takes up too much space. Lighten up! Remove it. You'll see it again when you move. You might need to rearrange to create areas with space.

Clean You Kitchen

Be heavy handed. Everything off the counters and then make them sparkle! Store appliances down below. A bowl of brightly colored oranges, lemons etc add some "pop".

Light Fixtures

Lighting can dramatically changed the feel of a room. Replace dated fixtures. They need not be expensive. A trip to you local hardware store will spruce things up.
