A gallery wall can make an impact on the look and feel of a room. The best ones are diverse and interesting, with each piece adding its own unique flavor to the overall aesthetic. Being creative with your space encourages buyers to envision how they can make the most of the space themselves, creating a long-lasting impression of your home.

Selling Secret: Slow Down and Think Through the Prep

A lack of preparation is one of the most common regrets among home sellers. Once your house is listed, the count of ‘days on market’ begins. The longer it’s on the market, buyers may start to wonder if something’s wrong with the house. It’s important to take the time beforehand to prep and make your home look presentable. Thankfully, this doesn’t have to be a major overhaul, but simple things like decluttering, organizing closets and getting rid of odors. If you need help prepping, feel free to reach out anytime!

One of the best things about having a bay window is the extra natural light it brings into your home. Not only does this make your space feel more open, but it can also save you money on your energy bills by reducing the need for artificial lighting. You can make the most of your bay window by adding plants or creating a cozy reading nook that will put you at an advantage for future buyers.

Selling Secret: Get a Pre-Listing Inspection

Finding out if there are any potential concerns before listing your house (from small to large issues) can better prepare you to sell, as well as give you peace of mind. Fixing those identified repairs ahead of time will also give potential buyers confidence in their decision when they do their own inspection. Unsure of how to start an inspection? Reach out and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Displaying art in your home can really tie a space together. Blank walls can give off a cold feeling, which may be off-putting to buyers. Frame your space with selectively placed artwork to inspire them to view your home as future potential for their own creativity.
