Real Estate Selling Tip – Give Your Walls Some Attention

Posted on April 4, 2023 by dayat

There are many things you can do as a seller to enhance the appearance of your home and the chances of selling your property. One of these important things you must do when selling your home is freshen up the walls. Keep all of your walls neutral and make sure they are all clean. You need to make sure and fill any holes or gouges that are visible to the human eye. It is definitely a negative for a potential home buyer to walk through a home and envision themselves fixing their new home up. While some color is good for space, it is not OK to have a shocking color in a home you are trying to sell. Even if it goes with your furniture, pillows or drapes, it more than likely will not go with the potential home buyer’s things who is attending your home showing.

I say paying attention to your walls is a must because it can brighten up a room, make your space look modern and clean, and even better it is a small investment (very low cost) that can help excel the process of selling your home.
When it comes to painting, you have a few options; you can do it yourself or your can hire a professional painting company. If you have the time and you are feeling creative go ahead and paint your walls yourself. If you do not have the time or if it is something you do not feel compassionate about, I would recommend not taking the do-it-yourself approach. A fresh coat of paint can look bad if there are smudges on the trim or ceiling or if the paint isn’t spread out correctly. If you think it is a project you are going to get frustrated with I would suggest hiring a painting company.

There are several nice things about hiring a professional painting company to freshen up your walls. Obviously a nice thing about hiring someone to paint for you is saving your time and money. Painting supplies can get expensive and if you do not already have the tape, paint brushes, ladders and drop cloths you are looking at a good chunk of change. A painting company will be able to paint your walls much faster than you would because of their fancy equipment and years of experience. When you hire a painting company they will also take care of the holes or scratches in the walls and move your furniture back when done.

Hopefully this article will help you understand why giving your walls some attention should be on your home improvement list to help increase your chances of selling your home. Whether you paint the walls yourself or hire a company to do it, you will end up with a clean looking space that is sure to help the real estate selling process.

Real Estate – Selling the Dream

Posted on March 4, 2023 by dayat

When it comes to real estate, most homeowners tend to focus on the technical aspects of selling their property. While details are important, it is vital to understand you are selling a dream.

Real Estate – Selling the Dream

One of the more infamous clichés is every scam is built on the idea of hope. Common sense tells you those Nigerians sending spam really don’t have 20 million dollars in an account, but you probably hesitate just a bit because a small part of you hopes it is true. While this cliché is undeniably cynical, there is a lesson to be learned from it when it comes to selling your property.

When selling your property, it is important to understand what buyers are purchasing. They are not purchasing a three bedroom, two level home with a two car garage. They are not purchasing a big backyard or a nice neighborhood. Okay, technically they are, but this represents only a small bit of their thinking. In truth, they are purchasing something much bigger and important.

When house hunting, it is important to understand that buyers are purchasing a dream. They are not really focusing on where they will sleep at night. When they see your property, they are creating a mental image of themselves living there. The image can include things ranging from how they would arrange furniture to envisioning kids playing in the yard to mention only a few things. In essence, they are purchasing the hope of a great living experience.

When getting ready to put your home on the market, it is vital that you understand what the buyers are looking for in a property. Yes, walls and accessories are important, but they are really buying a lifestyle. This means you need to accentuate the strong living points of your property.

Most people loosely refer to this as creating curb appeal. In truth, it goes beyond the mere appearance of the home. You want to make the home seem livable, not austere as many mistakenly do. For instance, you should always be baking something that smells delicious when showing the property. For many buyers, this will translate the home from a piece of construction to a livable space and make it easier for them to imagine living there.

One of the best tactics I ever saw in this regard was a seller who whipped up a meal on the grill. He then invited the potential buyers to sit with him, eat and ask any questions they had. He started reciting all of the things that had happened with his family while living in the home. The buyers became much more comfortable with him and the home. They subsequently made an offer and he accepted.

Obviously, you probably do not want to be barbequing each time someone comes to look at your property. That being said, you should focus on presenting your home as a clean, but livable place where the buyer can imagine themsel
