Revitalizing

You have decluttered, done all the necessary repairs, and cleaned your house inside and out. Believe it or not, you are already ahead of most other people who are putting their houses on the market. Now the chance your house will sell is much higher than it once was, but you might not get the best price. The reason is that buyers, realistically or not, expect your house to be in good repair and clean to begin with. How can it be anything else? To make them pay top dollars you need to wow them. You need to revitalize your house.

Revitalizing, as we will show you, is not remodeling, which is usually expensive and delays the selling of your house. While remodeling has its place, it’s not always practical like they make it out on home and garden TV shows. Rather, focus on small, inexpensive improvements that yield big results.

Bombard the buyers with nice imageries of your house, inside and outside. You want them to linger as long as possible. The longer they stay, the stronger the emotional bond becomes. Once they connect at this level, an offer isn’t far off.

Revitalizing starts with improving your curb appeal, follow up with lighting, and painting.  Only then can you start staging your house for sale.

Put away heirlooms that your buyers may mistake as permanent fixtures; for example, the nice ceiling chandelier or the wall sconce that have been in your family for generations. Swap it for something else that goes well with the other fixtures in the house. This will prevent any haggling later.
Entrances: replace the house numbers if they look old and unexciting. Place them where easily visible from the road.
Basement: dust the electrical panel box.
Revitalizing: reduce mismatched items on display (furniture, towels, place mats, etc). While your eyes have grown accustomed to them, they distract and break up the flow of the room.
Mistake #5: Focusing too much on expensive remodeling as opposed to making small improvements to help sell your house. You can save thousands by focusing on the little things.
