It's time for Secret #3 in my 5 Secrets of a Successful Sale. A quick look back at the past two secrets: Secret #1: It’s your kitchen that’ll sell your home. Secret #2: Declutter, depersonalize, and stage your home. ... And now. Secret #3: DON’T go overboard on upgrades. It’s a mistake I’ve seen too many times. In an effort to get top dollar for their home, well-intentioned sellers take on major renovations without consulting a realtor first. Misinformed and assuming they’ll get every dollar back (and then some!), they go overboard on upgrades only to be disappointed at the closing table. And while there are upgrades worth doing prior to selling, they’re often quick fixes, not major renovations. If you’re thinking about selling soon, reach out to a realtor who knows your neighborhood and can give you data on the upgrades that matter most to buyers in your area. Not thinking about selling, but know someone who is? Pass this along and save them from the stress, headache, and expense of unnecessary upgrades. . . . . . . . . . . #secret #upgrades #successfulsale #02006119 #realestateagent #compassagent #investment #realestate #realtor #luxuryliving #luxuryhomes #realestatexpert #luxuryrealestate #Iloverealestate #realestatepro #realtorlife #realestateexperts #callme #heatherfarms #walnutcreekca #downtownwalnutcreek #walnutcreekcalifornia #walnutcreekrealestate #walnutcreekrealtor #walnutcreektogether #walnutcreeklife #walnutcreekhomes See more

Good morning! It's time to lean in real close cause I’m back with Secret #2 in my 5 Secrets of a Successful Sale. Secret #1: It’s your kitchen that’ll sell your home. Secret #2: Declutter, depersonalize, and stage your home. ... Buyers must be able to picture themselves living in YOUR home. Give them a chance to do just that by decluttering, depersonalizing, and staging your home: Declutter: Picture your home as a vacation rental. If you wouldn’t see it out in a rental, you shouldn’t see it out during a showing. Depersonalize: A few modest photos here and that is fine, but pack away the excess, take down oversized monograms, and remove wall letters from the kids’ rooms. Stage: If you’re using the dining room as a craft area or home office, reset it as a space to dine. Also, get rid of unnecessary furniture to make your living room feel airy and spacious. Staging doesn't have to be costly or complicated it simply helps buyers make sense of your home and see its potential. When it comes to getting your home ready for the market, less is ALWAYS more. Need advice on how to get your home prepped? I’d love to help. Stop back by tomorrow for secret #3! . . . . . . #declutter #staging #compass #02006119 #realestateagent #compassagent #investment #realestate #realtor #luxuryliving #luxuryhomes #realestatexpert #luxuryrealestate #Iloverealestate #realestatepro #realtorlife #realestateexperts #callme #heatherfarms #walnutcreekca #downtownwalnutcreek #walnutcreekmoms #walnutcreekrealestate #walnutcreekrealtor #walnutcreekhomes #ilovewalnutcreek #bestofwalnutcreek See more

It’s the month of shamrocks, leprechauns, and Irish blessings, and while some are worried about getting pinched, you’ve got other things on your mind like how you’re gonna get your home listed and sold fast. In honor of St. Patty (and so you can kick luck to the curb), I’ve got 5 secrets I can’t wait to spill secrets that’ll hand you a successful sale, and quite possibly, your very own pot of gold. This week, Secret #1: It’s your kitchen that will sell your hom...e. While buyers want the right bed and bath count to meet their needs, years of experience tell me it’s your KITCHEN that will sell your home. As you get your home ready for the market, every minute (and dollar!) you spend prepping your kitchen to look its best will give you a high ROI. At a minimum, clean, declutter, and clear off those countertops for every showing (save a vase of fresh flower). Wanna do a little more? Update cabinet hardware, replace the faucet and sink, install a backsplash, or splurge on new light fixtures. That’s all for now keep your eyes out for Secret #2 tomorrow! . . . . . #secrets #sharing #kitchen #compass #02006119 #realestateagent #compassagent #investment #realestate #realtor #luxuryliving #luxuryhomes #realestatexpert #luxuryrealestate #Iloverealestate #realestatepro #realtorlife #realestateexperts #callme #heatherfarms #walnutcreekca #walnutcreekcalifornia #walnutcreekrealestate #walnutcreekrealtor #walnutcreektogether #walnutcreeklife #walnutcreekhomes #bestofwalnutcreek See more
