sell your place
At Village we are always mindful of the way a home feels, how it shows, and its first impression. Villagers are skilled at preparing homes for the market place. Here are a few of our insider tricks.
Curb Appeal - When you begin preparing your house for market, start outside and work your way in. It is estimated that more than half of all houses are sold before the buyers even get out of their cars. Stand across the street and review your home’s curb appeal.
Repairing eliminates buyers’ objections before they arise. If you think something is too much trouble to fix, chances are buyers will too. Buyers tend to think repairs will cost more than they do.
Cleaning makes your house easy for buyers to explore and gives the impression that it has been well cared for. Be sure every room smells as good as it looks.
Decluttering makes every room look larger and feel neater. If a house is cluttered, buyers have trouble imagining themselves in it. By removing or storing things you do not need, you create a roomy, comfortable feeling that will be inviting to prospective buyers.
Neutralizing helps buyers see their own things in your house and picture themselves living there. Neutral paint, decor and carpeting create a home for any lifestyle.
Creating unique space makes the exterior and every room of your house special. Since it is competing with many other houses on the market, you need to make your home stand out and be memorable.
