Friday Five! ✋

Today, let's talk staging. I'm sharing 5 key elements of a well-staged kitchen. The kitchen is "the heart of the home" so this is a great opportunity to appeal to potential buyers. 🏡

If you're staging your kitchen (or just want a refresh for yourself), try adding in these elements:

1. Let in the light: Clean the windows and open the blinds to show off natural light. Put a small lamp on your countertop for some extra ambience. ☀️

2. Clear countertops: Show off counter space by storing away appliances and extra kitchen gadgets. Less is more when it comes to counters.

3. Storage space: Show off storage space by pairing down and decluttering drawers and cabinets. Buyers will be looking here!

4. Cohesive items: If you have open or glass cabinets, make sure anything on display matches.

5. Fresh scents: Plug in a diffuser and bring in fresh flowers or a plant 🍋

Who's ready to go refresh their kitchen?

When you're preparing your home to sell, the key is to look at your home from a brand new perspective. 👀

Buyers that are searching for their new home are looking for a change in lifestyle. The goal of the home prepping process is to highlight your home's best features and show off the new lifestyle that someone can have in the home! 🏡

Have you ever heard the saying, "a goal without a plan is just a wish"? 💭

If homeownership is one of your goals, it's time to make a plan.

One of the first steps towards homeownership is to take a good look at your finances. From there, you can create a realistic savings plan that you can stick to. Now, before you start doing the math on how to save up for a 20% down payment, I have good news for you!

When you are creating your plan, remember that there are many LOW down payment options available for first-time homebuyers. Depending on the type of loan you qualify for, you could only be required to put 0-3.5% down, not 20%! 🙌

Friday Five! 👋

Here are 5 ratings to give your home when you're getting ready to list. Try it out!

On a scale from 1 to 10, rate your home in these 5 categories:

💯 Cleanliness & organization

💯 Lighting

💯 Curb appeal

💯 Depersonalization (family photos, children's artwork, collectibles)

💯 Furnishings & room flow

One purpose of staging your home is to allow potential buyers to visualize their own items in the home. Providing a clean, open and well-lit space allows buyers to imagine how they could make it their own. 🤩

After rating your home on these categories, you'll have a great idea of what needs to be done to get your home ready for new eyes. 👀

Inflation is on the rise, but don't let that deter you from going after your homeownership goals. If homeownership is one of your goals for 2022, you're still on the right track! Real estate has historically been looked at as a hedge against inflation. 🏡

Here are a few reasons why it's still a good time to purchase a home:

◾️ You are protected from rising rental costs. Rent prices are projected to keep rising throughout 2022.

◾️ With a fixed mortgage, you lock in your monthly housing payment.

◾️ Interest-rates are still incredibly low. This can help save you thousands over the life of your loan.

◾️ Your real estate investment has the potential to increase in value!

Is homeownership one of your 2022 goals?

Next up on our 2022 Home Reset Series: The Entryway! 🚪

Yes, this is a small space but it has a BIG impact on the rest of the home - or at least the nearby rooms! This is a high-traffic area and some organization can help set the tone as you come and go. Those daily items add up and when they don't have a designated home, they can spill over into your other rooms. You know, handfuls of mail, keys, coats, shoes... you get the idea!

You only need a few items for an entryway reset. Think of your most used items and create a drop station that will work for you. You can quickly reset your entry with a table, wall hooks, trays and baskets.

Do you have an entry system that is working for you? Share your tips in the comments! 💡
