Selling soon and hoping to get top dollar for your home? Yeah, you are! To help, here are a few tips I share with sellers that time and again lay a solid foundation for max profit at closing:⁣
⁣
Focus on curb appeal. Think shiny new mailbox, pressure-washed driveway and sidewalks, trimmed trees and hedges, fresh mulch, and seasonal color.⁣
De-personalize your home. Tuck the family photos and mementos away and swap them out with neutral artwork or even nothing at all. You may even want to also consider hiring a professional stager. (Want a recommendation? DM me!)⁣
Jazz up the kitchens. It's true that kitchens sell houses. Plus, you’ll get around 85% of your money back when you sell. The easiest updates? Painting and new cabinet hardware—just choose neutral colors that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.⁣
Maximize natural light. Think clean windows, airy lampshades, and high-wattage light bulbs. You can even remove drapes and blinds altogether if privacy isn’t a concern.⁣
Choose an agent wisely. An agent who knows your neighborhood and what buyers are looking for is a must. Bonus if they are tech-savvy and know how to use social media to get your home sold.⁣
⁣
Ready to realize your max profits? I’d love the chance to partner with you to sell your home. DM me, and I'll be in touch!⁣

A small investment in the beginning can save you a big headache later on!

According to the NAR, 37% of contracts fall through because of repair issues sellers could have addressed before listing their property. ⁣
⁣
If you’re thinking of selling this spring, don’t let that happen to you! Here's how:⁣
⁣
Meet with your Visibility Group Specialist. Allowing them to do a quick walkthrough could save you piles of cash.⁣

If recommended, schedule a pre-sale inspection. Then you'll know precisely what needs to be addressed from a functional standpoint.⁣

Invest in repairing major systems first. Think HVAC, plumbing, roofing, foundation, or electrical issues.⁣

Once your home’s major systems check out, move to aesthetics.

When in doubt, always remember, if there’s one room that needs to impress buyers, it’s (still!) the kitchen!

After a two year search for the perfect forever home today we got to close on just that house. A huge congratulations to the Hamilton family 🏡

Happy International Woman’s Day to all my strong and fierce followers 🤍

One of the best piece of advice I've ever been given? Discipline always trumps motivation.⁣
⁣
Motivation is the internal drive that positions you on a road leading to all your goals and dreams. ⁣
⁣
Discipline is the effort, time, and actions you put in, little by little, that move you closer and closer to reaching your dream destination. ⁣
⁣
Motivation leads you to start the journey, but discipline carries and fuels you along the way.⁣
⁣

You’re ready for the holidays (at least in spirit!), but is your home following suit? See for yourself with this pre-holiday home maintenance checklist. ⁣
⁣
Declutter. Holidays = More. More people, more food, and more stuff in your home. Before the onslaught, store away belongings that have piled up around your house in the past few months.⁣
Baby and pet-proof your decorations. If you have toddling two-year-olds or four-legged friends joining your holiday festivities, you want them to be safe. Ensure outlets are covered, cords are stashed away, and harmful chemicals are out of reach.⁣
Use programmable timers. Save time and energy by putting indoor and outdoor lights on timers. Choose from a simple outlet timer or go for WiFi and Bluetooth smart plugs that allow you to monitor energy usage and control lights from your smartphone.⁣
Clean out your fridge and freezer. All those leftovers are gonna need somewhere to go! Make space now by cleaning out your fridge and freezer. Another idea? Grab some to-go boxes and send your guests home with a full belly AND lunch for the next day.⁣
Secure your home’s exterior. If you’re traveling, ensure your porch lights, flood lights, and security cameras are working properly. Ask around and enlist the help of a neighbor to keep an eye on things while you’re away.⁣
⁣
Happy pre-holiday rush, friends! As always, if you have questions about anything house-and-home-related, I’m here for you. Send me a DM today.⁣

All year long, but especially on days like today, I’m grateful for wonderful clients like you! ⁣
