1. Hire a great Real Estate agent.

Congratulations!  You've already made a clever move by being here already.  Hearth & Table Realty-Make your next move your best move.

 

2. Curb Appeal for the win.

Some of the first things buyers are going to notice as they pull up to your house are the landscape – lawn, plants, flowerbeds, etc. When Showcasing your house for sale, first impressions count.  If your house is inviting, you win!

​

​

3. Paint the interior if needed.

Contemporary colors that are on the brighter side can really give your house a great uplift!  Try to stay away from dark, gloomy colors as they will make the space feel much smaller.  

​

4. Clean it up-remove clutter.

 This is critical.  If you are busting at the seams with no space, then the potential buyers will feel that same concern and probably feel they too would be tight for space if it was their home.  

​

5. No half stepping with photos and videos.

Did you know over 90% of homebuyers will view your home somewhere online?  Image is everything, especially in this day and age!  Lets treat the photos and videos as a first date.  Lets make a first impression so you can hopefully have another date. 

​

6. Maximum exposure, period.

Hearth and Table Realty understands proper marketing is a key element to getting to word out regarding the selling of your home.  We want everybody to know your home is for sale and we wont be shy about it.

​

7. Light up the space as much as possible.

A bright, cheery home is always more inviting to potential buyers.  Let some sunlight into the house and take advantage of that portion of natural lighting. Even buying brighter light bulbs can help. Small things like lighting can make a big difference with very minimal costs attached to it.

​

8. If your Realtor recommends repairing something, make it happen.

The less the issues that will be uncovered during the inspection, the less likely you will be to lose that buyer client later on down the road.  Proper maintenance in general is critical for the upkeep of the home.

​

9. Address all odors.

Bad odors hit the nostrils immediately, especially pet odors.  This can be a major turn off for a potential buyer.  

​

​

10. Take your pets somewhere for showings.

This can be a job, but it will be worth it.

Potential buyers could have some type of reaction to certain animals and as cute as we know our pets are, its better safe than sorry.  Not to mention, pets can be a huge distraction and take the focus off the house  we definitely don't need to.
