You never get a second chance at a first impression, and you want to wow potential buyers. It's important to pay attention to curb appeal and home staging. We have some advice to help you sell efficiently.

• You need to attract buyers that drive by. Keep the lawn mowed and green. Ensure flowerbeds are free of weeds. If you're selling in the fall, clear away dead leaves. Add a fresh coat of paint on the front door.
• 92% of all buyers start their home search online. Many first time home buyers watch HGTV reality shows, and they expect pristine photos for perfectly staged homes. Staged homes receive higher offers compared to homes that aren't. Some staged homes receive offers between 1% to 5% over asking price. If you're selling a $250,000 home, staging your home could mean an extra $15,000 in your home sale!
• Declutter. Clear out closets, countertops, and kitchens. You want to make sure kitchens and bathrooms are clean and spacious. Put away everything you don't need.

When you work with us, you will receive a free consultation with a professional home stager. The stager will tour your home room by room and make recommendations to help you improve.

Exceptional curb appeal and staging your home are keys to selling your home quickly for top dollar. If you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!

Today, over 50 percent of buyers in the market are first-time home buyers. We deal with millennials now, which are different buyers than the last generation.
