CHANGE WITH THE SEASON

Aug31
2017
Written by mary.w

As we move into the Labor Day weekend, we put away our white pants (maybe) and pull on our favorite football team’s sweatshirt & hunker in for autumn. If we update ourselveorange-leavess for the new season, what can we do to roll our marketed home over as well? You don’t want your home to scream, “I’ve been on the market since spring” so follow these few steps to reap an Autumn harvest of your home being sold!

  • Remove all your dying summer annuals (that you’ve been dead heading to get them to last longer) and replace them with colorful mums. The great thing about mums is that they come in many colors so you can choose those that blend best with your home’s extrior.
  • Replace your summer plaques, wind chimes, doormats and other exterior decor with autumn focused items.pumpkinFALL
  • Don’t break your bank buying ‘special’ autumn decor. Use pumpkins and colorful squash to create charming, attractive ‘curb appeal’ near your home’s entryway.
  • When showing your home, light a couple of pumpkin scented candles or use fragrance plug-ins. It’s been proven that the pumpkin scent is very inviting, calming and creates positive sensory reactions.  Nothing feels like home than the smell of a pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. You don’t need to bake a pie…just provide the fragrance.
  • Another great wthanksgivingay to add the autumn fragrance into your home is to have a pot of hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks simmering on the stove…mmmm…nice!

 

Again, don’t break the bank just to change the season. Sow simple seeds to reap a bountiful harvest!!

Tips when Selling Your Home By Owner:

DO:          Clear personal photos from counters, tables and fireplace mantels                             DON’T:   Remove all artwork & photos from your walls. Sterile is not a good look.

DO:          Reduce books and knik knaks from your bookcase or built-ins                                    DON’T:   Create an attractive display of your books w/some frames , candles & small items

DO:          Clear clutter from closets including racks, shelves & floor                                           DON’T:    Just throw everything into a laundry basket or open box/bin. Move it out!

DO:           Have Kitchen & Bathroom counters CLEAR in photos & for showings.                     DON’T:     Just throw it all a basket at the end of the counter. Clear means clear!

DO:          Pack up your off season clothes including coats, jackets, sweatshirts, etc.                 DON’T:    Spread the clothes out into other closets.  Everyone wants closet space!

DO:           Clean out your kitchen cabinets/pantry. Pack up holiday or seasonal dishes.    DON’T:    Assume that buyers won’t open your cabinets, pantry, etc. Serious ones will!

DO:            Be honest and precise when answering your prospective buyers questions.      DON’T:     Talk non-stop while showing your home. Share details then be quiet.

DO:            Have a Guest Book open for open house attendees to leave their info.                     DON’T:      Force the issue if someone doesn’t want to sign it. Always be friendly!

DO:             Freshen walls, trim & cabinets with a good cleaning. Paint if necessary.                 DON’T:      Get so overwhelmed with making things ‘perfect’ that you lose market time.

DO:             Put excess furniture, bins, boxes, etc in storage unit/pod IF you can afford it. DON’T:      Take on excessive debt in preparing your home for sale. Stay smart!

DO:             Have confidence that you can market your home w/Buy Owner’s help!                  DON’T:      Believe the ‘noise’ from others that you’re not competent enough to do so!
