Preparing Your Long Beach Homes for Sale
Home Staging Tips for the Long Beach Homeowner
Marketing
your Long Beach homes is similar to the way merchandisers market products using
special packaging. You wouldn't buy a product that doesn't look good, would
you? Would you buy a home that is
disorganized and dirty? Neither will
today's Long Beach real estate buyers. Try to look at your home
through your buyer's eyes.
Physical
clutter can create mental and spiritual blocks to success, health and selling
your Long Beach
home. Have you ever needed to pick up your rooms, make your bed, and put away
the dirty dishes in the sink before you leave for vacation? That's because space cleaning assists in
lightening your mind and leaves you with a feeling of balance.
First Impressions Sell
Some
unacceptable first impressions home buyers have can be corrected with the list
below. Always remember first impressions and how it is important in any part of
your life and in selling your Long
Beach home.
Clean up the walkway to
your home removing weeds and dead plants, adding new ones, and sweeping
and hosing off the driveway and garage doors. It may be necessary to paint
the front door, if washing it doesn't help. Also keep the entrance well
lighted at night.- Remove any personal
stuff, old newspapers and magazines, clothes lying around and religious
artifacts. Make sure countertops and dresser tops are clean and clear.
- Move out any unused or
extra furniture so that your rooms are more spacious and not crowded with
a lot of stuff.
- All cupboards and
closets should be clean and orderly.
Get rid of old unused clothing.
Kitchen and bathroom cupboards should be extra clean and
neat.
- Remove from sight any
cat litter boxes, garbage cans and pet dishes and check the odor in your
home. Most homeowners don't realize that odor plays a big part in the sale
of their home.
- Replace any old rugs
and carpets, paint the walls or remove any old wallpaper. Buyers love when
everything is done before they move in.
- Keep your rooms light
and bright with clean windows and window coverings. Open up the blinds and
curtains and let in the sunshine. If it's a nice day, open up the windows
and let in the fresh air.
- Add tons of real
flowers around your home inside and out. Flowers will also freshen up the
scent of your rooms.
- Keep your rooms painted
in colors that appeal to all. It doesn't necessarily have to be neutral
but don't use hot pinks, lime greens, or themed kids rooms. Even if it's a
deep color and everything else is correctly staged, clean and neat, the
color will not matter.
- Your garage is not the
catchall. Make sure it is very
clean and organized. It you have time, try and have a garage sale before
you list your home with your Long Beach Realtor.
If
you live in an area where all of the homes are somewhat the same, with similar
features, floor plans and neighborhoods, make your home the best looking one on
the block. A Home Stager will
help you achieve the look of a perfectly staged home but not look
artificial. Your buyer needs to think,
"I want to live here." Your Long Beach home will be
remembered!
