Preparing a home for sale = Home Staging + Professional Photography
Comments (12)Well, that can actually happen - people fall back in love with their home once they see its potential! It did happen me once...the estate agent wasn't impressed though!!...See MoreThe best scents when selling a house??
Comments (12)Hello Tani, I love a scented candle and the really large one's make a statement don't they.. So my favourites are Cire Trudon Nazareth in the gold - It's orange and cloves which I love all year round... Then the other absolute favourite is Byredo Bibliotheque which is plum and patchouli with leather and vanilla... Then the other favourite is Redcurrant by Votivo.... and the name suggests the scent so no need for explanation.....These are absolutely my go to list... ... :))...See MoreBest wall colour to sell house?
Comments (11)The right colours can help to sell a house, if you are not confidant then I would either leave it or paint it off white. Getting it wrong (such as painting north facing rooms cool grey) could leave it looking cold and unwelcoming. Whilst the poor maligned magnolia has been consigned to the back of the shelf, it did have one saving grace and that was that it was usually reflective and had some warmth. Hideous as it maybe is to us now, it made houses look 'homely' albeit now dated. Equally as bad in my opinion is the whole house 'grey' and by that I mean cold blue grey - worse than magnolia in the wrong setting....See Moreselling your home
Comments (10)1. Make them think "plenty of room" - If you live there rent some storage, make even the insides of wardrobes tidy, it shows that you have enough storage. Increase floor space, place some items of furniture on an angle to widen the room. Remove anything personal : photographs etc 2. Make them think "achievable" - Look at the recently sold houses on right-move on your street or local, price appropriately and if staged correctly with enough viewers you may even get a bidding war which is higher than asking price. People usually search between round figures so dont price it slightly over a round figure. E.g. you may miss out on someone willing to stretch their budget to 305k when they search 250k to 300k. 3. Make them think " spacious, cheerful" - Make sure curtains are not blocking any light, wide open, maximise natural light. 4. Make them think "fresh new start" - Do not use fake smells such as air freshener sprays, it is obvious that it is a cover up. Air the property out and use natural smells such as coffee/ bread in oven/ cinnamon boiled in a pan/ fresh flowers if you can look after them 5. Make them think "well looked after" -Fill any cracks, fix any small details, make the boiler look clean, freshen paint etc 6. Make them think "this is what I aspire to" - a well balanced, quality , thought through interior that suits the story of the house and most importantly the target market can be achieved with the use of a trained designer. etc.....See Morekarensmith101
