Buying & Selling Tips What you need to know to prep your home.
Staging Your Home for Success
Keeping Warm Weather Thoughts in Mind
When selling a home, real estate expert Jenn Whayland knows the value of staging is undeniable. Staging not only creates a powerful impact in listing photos but can also help accentuate a property's greatest qualities and demonstrate the best use of space. Most importantly, staging creates a clean slate that allows buyers to imagine their lives in the home. That's why Jenn puts a major emphasis on decluttering. Sellers looking to declutter often do best tackling one small area at a time and planning to donate what they don't need. As a bonus, it makes moving easier too!
Winterization is an essential part of homeownership, especially if you plan to sell your home next spring. Where to start? Working from the outside in is a solid approach, beginning with ensuring your roof and gutters are ready for inclement weather. Avoid slips by patching walks, replacing pavers and fixing handrails as needed. Remove garden hoses, protect outdoor faucets and drain your irrigation system. Now is the perfect time to remove window A/C units and inspect weatherstripping. Test your smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and have your heating system and fireplaces checked to ensure a cozy, safe winter.
