Cosmetic Upgrades

Investing in a few cosmetic improvements will help you make a great first impression on buyers. There are several ways to improve the appearance of your home, including:

• Enhancing your curb appeal to increase your home appraisal value.
• Giving your interior walls a fresh coat of paint to make your rooms feel bright and fresh.
• You can also add woven peel and stick wallpaper for a luxury touch in bathrooms and the living room.
• Integrating modern home design trends to appeal to today’s buyers.
• Incorporating lighting tricks to make your home feel bigger and draw attention to desirable features.

Common Home Repairs

Before listing your home, take care of any lingering maintenance tasks that you’ve been putting off. Fix repair issues that can deter buyers from making an offer on your home, such as:

• Faulty wiring—Hire a professional electrician instead of attempting a DIY electrical job!
• Roof problems—Learn how to spot roofing issues and hire a pro to replace damaged weather-stripping and shingles.
• HVAC issues—Have your system serviced if it’s running inefficiently.
• Damaged floors—Replace worn carpeting and refinish scratched hardwood floors.

Home Staging 

Staging your home will set it apart from all those other homes on the market. Whether you decide to go all out and rent staging decor or keep it simple with affordable techniques, staging is bound to help your home sell faster.

• Get rid of clutter that can make your home appear unmaintained and smaller than it is before photographs and showings.
• Depersonalize your home to help potential buyers picture themselves living there.
• Rearrange your living room to make it appear cozy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing.

If you want to sell your home quickly, a little upfront work is well worth it! Invest in cosmetic upgrades, tackle those home repairs on your to-do list, and learn how to stage your home so that it has a great impression on buyers. Make your home the nicest one on the block and the offers will start pouring in!
