Selling Your Home? Here’s How to Make it Lovable Today’s buyers love vibrant red and orange accent walls, usually in contrast to earth-toned neutrals. They also love stoves with super-quiet exhaust fans, kitchen islands, and recessed lighting combined with hanging pendant fixtures. In the bathroom, they love glass and stone finishes with brushed nickel faucets and floating vanities. And don’t forget the open floor plans that blend kitchen, dining room and family room into a s...ingle open space. Seducing today’s buyers is almost a necessity in today’s real estate market. But how far should you go to cater to buyers’ wants? It depends. Unless you’re selling a luxury property, you don’t have to buy a professional-grade stove. However, you may want to consider trading your outdated avocado appliances for stainless steel and buying an inexpensive island on casters to make the kitchen feel more modern. Kitchens and bathrooms sell houses, so it makes sense to spend the majority of your renovation dollars to upgrade these spaces. In the bathroom, new fixtures, a soft color for the walls and sconce lighting will make a world of difference. Add fluffy white towels, flowers and candles, and you have a spa that buyers will love. A fresh coat of neutral paint is always a cost-effective solution. And an accent wall can make a space look bigger, warmer and more up to date. Carpeting is out and exotic woods and travertine floors are in. However, your buyers will likely be as impressed with less-expensive flooring options. Because your home may well be your largest asset, selling it is probably one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. To better understand the home selling process, here is my tip for today. By following my tips, you will discover how to protect and capitalize on your most important investment, reduce stress, be in control of your situation, and make the most profit possible. TIP #1 - UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE SELLING YOUR HOME This is important! Your motivation to sell is the determining factor as to how you will approach the process. It affects everything from what you set your asking price at to how much time, money and effort you're willing to invest in order to prepare your home for sale. For example, if your goal is for a quick sale, this would determine one approach. If you want to maximize your profit, the sales process might take longer thus determining a different approach.
