βοΈπ‘ As we enter the Spring season, we asked several buyers and sellers what's important to them when buying and selling properties. π‘βοΈ Here are our top 5 home improvement tips for consideration: πββοΈ
β Declutter is removing unnecessary items from an untidy or an overcrowded space. Not only does your home look extremely organized but it prevents and reduces dust, mold and mildew which trigger health problems including asthma and allergies. Less clutter opens up space which means less distraction for buyers during showings & open houses. Check in with yourself and your goals and start from there! π§Ή
β‘ Repair anything broken β Maintaining your home in good condition can pay off when itβs time to sell. Depending on the condition of your home, I usually recommend a pre-inspection to my clients so they know everything thatβs wrong upfront and repair as needed. The earlier you tackle these repairs, the more peace of mind you will have before putting your house for sale! π§βπ§
β’ Paint with neutral colors β Painting your home is one of the easiest and most effective ways to show interior & exterior improvements if needed. A fresh-coat of neutral paint emphasizes a clean & fresh look, sets the mood, makes the space look bigger and can help highlight specific features. A good rule of thumb is making your space β βwhite & brightβ. π
β£ Make small renovations - replacing doors, repainting cabinets, reglazing bathtubs, replacing light fixtures (if needed) and ensure lights bulbs are working & bright enough to showcase your home are some ways to make small renos. Donβt forget about your homeβs curb appeal (exterior)β painting the front door, replace exterior lighting, fixing the walkway, adding flowers and plants are just some ways you can improve the overall look and feel! π
β€ Eliminate Odors β Simply putβ¦ the smell of your home can deter potential buyers away during showings and open houses. Deodorizing your home by opening all your windows to let fresh air in, washing all trash bins, sprinkle baking soda on the carpet, look for leaks in the bathrooms and clean out all drains are just some ways to get rid of pesky smells in your home! π
