Resources for Sellers

Selling Process

We have excellent resources to assist you in preparing your home for the market. These include local specialists in painting, flooring, landscaping, design, staging and more.

Phase 1 - Designer Consultation

When you are selling your home, your property needs to have a fresh assessment of how to maximize its appeal to the broadest group of buyers. Our team can make the necessary recommendations that have proven to be very successful for our clients. Our goal is to achieve the highest sales price by presenting your property at its best to garner the most interest, better ensuring strong offers.

Phase 2 - Cleaning & Clearing

A clutter-free interior allows buyers to visualize their belongings in the home in addition to creating more open space which makes the home feel larger. We can assist with vendors for hauling, charity donations, and short or long-term storage needs. A professional exterior/interior cleaning is imperative to make the home sparkle before public showings. The better a home shows, the more confident buyers are about its condition.

Phase 3 - Cosmetic Upgrades

The smartest return on investment a seller can make is to invest in painting, refinishing floors, upgrading landscaping, and other cosmetic improvements. Our expertise in selecting paint colors, carpet styles and light fixtures will guarantee an optimum first impression. “Love at first sight” is one of the strongest indicators of a committed buyer.

Phase 4 - Staging

A properly staged home will sell for a higher price. Buying a home is an emotional experience so presenting a beautifully staged home is in your own best interest. Buyers spend more time engaging with a property when it is well-staged.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) sites:

• Buyers’ agents report that 82% of their clients tell them that staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. Costs for staging can be more reasonable than you think so we can arrange staging bids for your consideration.

• Staging increases the sum buyers were willing to spend for a property and raised the perceived value between 1% to 5%. 18% of sellers said home staging increased the dollar value of a residence between 6% to 10%.

A $1,000,000 home could sell for $1,100,000 or higher when staged at a cost of about $10,000 for the staging.
