Sell Your Home Faster – Stage Your Home With Color!

January 25, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Sell Your Home Faster – Stage Your Home With Color!

Stage Your Home With ColorHouses that are staged sell faster and for more money than houses that are not.  One of the easiest ways to get your house ready to sell is to stage your home with color. Painting is an inexpensive but very effective way to showcase your home.

You can stage your home with color by neutralizing any brightly colored walls in your home. The colors buyers should see when they enter your home should not distract them with your decorating style. They want to see your home as a blank canvas so they can more easily envision themselves in your home.

Light, clean rooms also seem larger and more updated than rooms that are painted strong colors.  If you have wallpaper anywhere in your home, take it down and repaint in neutral tones. Buyers will see less work that they will have to do before moving in, and will be more likely to make a higher offer than they would otherwise.

However, neutralizing doesn’t mean you have to go paint all the walls white. You should paint your home rich, neutral tones such as light taupes, beiges, or greys. Doing so will definitely result in your home selling faster and for more money.

Staging Tips: Let There Be Light

Lighting and brightness is very important when staging your home for sale. Replace any burned out bulbs. Move furniture away from the windows. Get rid of cobwebs and be sure to open curtains and blinds. Renew the look of the room by replacing old or dated light fixtures. Also, make sure to wash the windows both inside and out. These small steps will leave your house looking bright, inviting and spacious to potential buyers.

Tips For Staging Your House To Sell 

Your kitchen area tends to be the most important room when selling your house. Make sure to get rid of all of the clutter and personal items. Clean any dirty dishes and make sure to wipe down the counter tops and fixtures. Also, try not to cook any food that will leave an odor while your house is on the market. You want the kitchen to be in pristine condition with no smells to turn off potential buyers.

The Lowry Team Offers Tips For Selling Your House Fast

November 13, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

The Lowry Team Offers Tips For Selling Your House Fast

Tips For Selling Your Home FastSelling your home? Here are a few tips to assist you in selling your house fast!

Tip #1 –

You need to get your house ready for market both inside and out. The first step in staging your home is to trim the bushes around your property. It is important to keep the lawn neatly mowed. The curb appeal of your home will be the potential home buyer’s first impression of your home. Make it a good one! First impressions matter! Spruce up the yard and flower beds.  

Tip #2 –

De-clutter and de-personalize your home. Clean off the bookshelves and clean out the closets. Remove extra items from counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms.  It may even be beneficial to store some of your furniture to make rooms seem larger. By doing this, it will appear as if there is a lot more room and storage in the home.

Personal items such as family photos should also be tucked safely away. The potential home buyer should be able to envision themselves living in your home.

Tip #3 –

A buyer would love to buy a home that is in move-in condition. A house that needs updating or work means time and money for the home buyer. The house and all of its mechanics should be in good working condition. If a house is on the market, it should sparkle! Home owners need to give the house a once over. Pay especially close attention to cleaning the kitchens and bathrooms.

A potential home buyer does not want to add the expense of having to purchase new ceiling fans, light fixtures or kitchen appliances. Old furnaces and air conditioners are also a turn off.

Tip #4 –

Many sellers offer something of value to the potential home buyer. There is more to the negotiation process then agreeing upon a price. You may negotiate the type of financing and the closing date.

Also, a home warranty, closing costs, repairs made to the home and personal property are items that can make or break a deal. In the end, sometimes a small concession is all that is needed to agree upon a final purchase contract.

Tip #5 –

One of the most important steps in selling your home is determining what price to list it for. Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team, will perform a comparable market analysis for you. This will educate and assist you as you decide what price you will put your house on the market for. Eric Lowry says, “Houses that are priced accurately and in good condition are not lasting long on the market.”

Tip #6 –

Selling Your Cincinnati Home – Part 4

June 9, 2014 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

Selling Your Cincinnati Home Series  – Part 4

6 Steps to Staging Your Home.

Preparing your home for sale properly can net you considerably more money at closing. Some rooms in your home are more important than others in the preparation process and some home improvements are a much better investment as you prepare to sell your home.  Don’t spend money unnecessarily, contact Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team today to arrange a consultation.  In the meantime, here are some general steps that you could start implementing right now.

The first step in staging your home is to trim the bushes around your property.  It is important to keep the lawn neatly mowed.  The curb appeal of your home will be the potential home buyer’s first impression of your home.  Make it a good one!

Next, you will want to remove any clutter from your house.  Start packing up anything you are not currently using.  You are going to have to pack it up eventually anyway, so let’s get started!  Your house will appear larger, neater and more organized.

If you have transformed one (or more) of your bedrooms into something other than a bedroom, such as a sewing room or exercise room, change it back. If you are listing your house as a three bedroom, you want the home buyer to be able to easily visualize the three bedrooms.

Clean up and organize the counters in the bathrooms and kitchen. They should appear, neat, clean and sparkly!  Put items that are generally sitting out on the counter tops away out of sight.

After all of the steps are completed, do one last final clean up.  Clean the house from top to bottom, yes, even the windows!  Repair any nicks to the walls and cover them with a fresh coat of neutral paint.

Lastly, add a pop of color.  This could be some colorful towels in the half bath or fresh flowers in a vase in the entrance way.  Add color outside by planting some annuals. Place a new welcome mat by the from door or add a splash of color with a pillow on a chair.

Not only can staging your home bring more money to the closing table, generally it will sell faster too. Contact, Eric Lowry, CEO and Listing Specialist for The Lowry Team to set up a free consultation.
