If you are a seller, you have anxiously awaited that moment when you accept a great offer, sign the paper, and all the conditions for the sale are just right, but then there’s the buyer’s home inspection you need to get through. Now you are beginning to worry about what might be hidden in your home that you didn’t even know about?
Are you thinking about weekend projects you could do to boost your home’s appeal to buyers? Any REALTOR will tell you to start with the most important rooms of the house first—and the kitchen tops that list.
Chances are, your REALTOR offered advice about things you should do to your house before you put it on the market. You may want to make those changes if you want to get bigger and better offers from buyers.
REALTORS are experts in knowing what potential buyers will notice and how it could influence their buying decisions. They know what sends buyers running and what makes them place competitive offers.
The right paint color can make your home look cleaner and more attractive to today’s homebuyers, many of which are attracted to turnkey properties (no work needed- just turn the key and move in). But what colors really make a buyer want to buy?

Whether you are showing your home to sell, just moved into a house, or are looking to update your décor, the master bedroom deserves your attention. We actually spend more time in our bedroom than any other room in the house, more than one-third of each day, yet we often put it last on our list for updates.
According to The National Association of REALTORS reports the majority, an amazing 94% of Millennials who recently purchased a home, say that they heavily used websites throughout their search process. But, that is not just a generational preference. Baby Boomers, about 84% of them, and 65% of seniors-those 69 to 89 year old- also say that they conducted online research while searching for their next home.
Thinking about listing your home for sale soon, but wondering how you will get everything done to the house to actually get it ready to sell? Spring is here, the market is ripe, and it may seem like you are behind everyone else entering the market. You are actually not alone. Between work, baseball practice, dance recitals, and everything else on the typical family schedule, finding time to clear away clutter (aka: your basement looks like your house could be featured on an episode of Hoarders), is can feel like a huge challenge.
