Believe it or not Orlando home buyers<\/a> often make a decision within just seconds of seeing your home about whether or not they want to buy it. So remember that and picture your home through the eyes of your potential buyers. What impression do you get in the first 30 seconds?<\/p>\n
Sometimes a neighbor can help you out with this. If you do ask someone to give you an honest opinion about the first impression they get of your home, don\u2019t take it personal if they don\u2019t like some of your choices as far as decorating, just listen.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a List of easy things you can do to increase your chances of getting a contract on your Orlando property<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Remove all loose clutter inside and out.\u00a0 When you walk up do you see children’s toys scattered across the front lawn or throughout the house? Get rid of it something as simple as clutter can be a deal killer.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Make sure your yard and landscaping looks as good as it possibly can. Overgrown trees ,\u00a0 shrubs and grass are eyesores and it\u2019s the very first look that they get at the home.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I think it\u2019s always good to get a fresh paint job when selling a home. It makes a huge impact and is relatively inexpensive to do. If painting is not an option, at least touch up any spots that are chipped wore out or can\u2019t be cleaned.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Remove any furniture that is causing the house to look smaller or that is in the way when you show a potential buyer your home. Most of the time less is more when it comes to bulky pieces of furniture that can absolutely change the look of a room.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Add artwork to long hall ways. You don’t have to buy artwork that costs thousands of dollars but, if your home has long hall ways, it’s nice to break up the monotony with some tasteful artwork. Use contrasting shades and hues to coordinate with the flooring. When you’re shopping for the artwork or borrowing it from a friend or your real estate agent or homestager, if possible bring swatches of the carpet or flooring and wall paint to match the artwork colors.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Make the kitchen a focal point. Whether they cook or not, the kitchen is of primary interest to many buyers. Winning over buyers with an appealing kitchen can often convince them that they must have the home. Make sure your appliances are clean, sparkling, and working. Return on investment in the kitchen is usually high and worth every penny, and more, you put into it.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The bedroom needs to look like a bedroom. It sounds funny, but many people use their bedroom for other things such as an office or storage. Boxes or newspapers are scattered or stacked in a corner. There’s no “ah” or sense of relaxation with that kind of room. So even if that’s how you’ve been living, understand that’s not how you should show a home.<\/p>\n
Making your home more appealing means seeing your home through the eyes of your potential buyers. When you start receiving more offers than you know what to do with, you\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n
