Seller Tip: Moving On -- From Proud Home Owner to Savvy Home Seller

Perhaps you fell in love at first sight.  Or maybe it took some time for those feeling to emerge, but if you're like most homeowners, you love your house.  After all, it is home and the place where many milestone moments in your life have taken place.  There are memories to be dealt with.

 

If you're ready to sell it, it's time to sever the heartstrings and take a long hard look at those emotional ties. Yes, this is a bit of a breakup. It's time to shed some light on the flaws, deal with the deficiencies and acknowledge it is time to move on. 

 

Leaving gracefully is always a challenge.  Do you simply walk away, or do you engage in some home therapy to make the place more appealing to prospective suitors?

 

 You may recall memories of kids and pets frolicking on the family room floor.  They see stained and worn carpet.

 

You see a roof you have nursed through the years with patches and tar.  They see a big expense looming on the horizon.

 

You see the trees you planted as saplings towering high overhead.  They see trees that need to be trimmed.

 

The pool has a small leak, but it was not a big deal to you.   It will be to them.

 

 

The decision to sell moves the savvy homeowner from owner to seller, and those are two very different stances.  As a seller, your house is now a product to be placed on the open market. The days of it functioning as your home are numbered.

 

  It's easy to overlook flaws when you're in love; you've grown accustomed to the quirks and personality of your home.  However, those endearing attributes can cost you thousands of dollars when it comes time to sell. 

More Seller Tips from Norma!

Is Your Home Overdressed? Maybe it needs a "Make Under"

Less really can be more when staging a property for sale!

Via Tessa Skeens - Hampton Redesign (Hampton ReDesign, Home Staging and Redesign in Fort Worth TX):

Happened to be home when Oprah was on this afternoon. The topic was Makeunders. Women who needed less not more. But this also applies to homes. Nate Berkus did a room Makeunder and it inspired me!

Every home that goes on sale needs a makeunder. The less of you, the quicker your home will sell. The bigger and more spacious your home looks the higher it's perceived value.

Simple room design
This means it's really important to edit your stuff so what's really important greets you (and your buyers) when you walk in the door. You want your homes' features to shine, you want buyers to say AH!

The trouble is we tend to keep adding stuff to our homes and don't stop to edit.
I compare it to getting dressed. You've got a great look going but then you keep adding accessories to your outfit. A scarf or two. All of a sudden your great look gets lost. No one will be able to focus on that perfect necklace or pair of shoes because there's too much to look at.

The best outfits are the ones with a simple color palette. A nice pair of jeans, a contrasting top and jacket and some great accent jewelry and shoes.

Your home is no different. It's an extension of who you are but it shouldn't be the catchall for everything you've ever wanted to bring home. Layering is wonderful but you have to know when to stop before your look gets lost.

Start with one room. Treat it like an extension of yourself. How would you dress it?

10 Easy Tips to "Make Under" Your Home

1. Keep in simple, Pick one or two main colors for your walls and floor. The fewer colors the more spacious your home will look.

2. Pick a third and fourth (if desired) accent color . Use these colors sparingly.

3. Keep your surfaces consistent.  Walls should be the same material if possible and painted or finished in the same color on all walls. Floors also. Keep flooring consistent throughout the house.

4. Group your family photos on one wall and use similar frames and mats to keep a unified look. Edit your photos first and keep only the ones you love.Clean simple room

5.  Group your plants also. Your plants will thrive and it reduces watering time. Toss out any that are unhealthy or dying.

6. If a room has more than one use make sure there's a dedicated space for each use. Screens or dividers can help separate living from office or exercise space.

7. Keep your window treatments clean and simple. Heavy window treatments that cut down on light can overpower a room. Invest in some light colored curtain panels instead hung on a simple pole. These look great over inexpensive 2" blinds.

8. Remove area rugs on carpet.  Visually they cut up the floor space and make the room feel smaller.

9. Edit your collections. Keep only pieces you love on display. Again grouping them will create impact and reduce visual busy-ness.

10. Keep it to 5. When in doubt, keep no more than 5 toys or 5 plants or 5 pillows or 5 frames or 5 lamps for example in a room at one time. If you want to add a new piece, take out an old one.


Remember keep it simple. Whether you are getting ready to sell your home or just want to live lighter, a professional home staging consultation can help you with your "makeunder".

Photos are not samples of Hampton Redesign staging but chosen to represent how a simplified color palette can makeunder a room.

It's Raining Listings and Buyers--Thanks Active Rain & Google

The thermometer says it is hot outdoors this week, and apparently so is Toering & Team.  It may be the dog days of summer but the sizzle is back in the local real estate market, at least in my office this week. 

 

Over the weekend we listed 93 acres on the California side of the Colorado River near Needles, CA.  OK, this did not happen overnight--I've been communicating with the sellers for over one year.  What caused them to finally pull the listing trigger and select Norma Toering & Team?  They loved my Internet presence--from the website to the blogs about my other Colorado River listings.  They know their property will have a top-notch website and they know prospective buyers will be able to find it.

 

Another new listing will hit the local MLS this Friday.  Four months ago a previous client called and said a relative would soon be listing a property in Rancho Palos Verdes.  Yesterday, they selected an agent; Norma Toering & Team was chosen based on past performance and Internet marketing skills.

 

A prospective buyer from Colorado found me on the Internet a few months ago and we're now ready to make an offer on a Southern California condo.  The list goes on...I like the "heat" and I'm staying in the real estate "kitchen."  I think I'll see what else I can stir up along with the help of my Internet presence, Active Rain blog and a strong work ethic.

Pet Owners, Please Put the Poop in the Trash Cans

Pets are welcome on the hiking trails at Trump National Golf Course.  Pet owners are expected to bag and dispose of any waste their pet drops along the trails.  Bright blue plastics bags are provided, and trash cans are located in several locations along the paths.  Compliance made easy, right?

 

Today as I hiked along the majestic bluffs and admired the coastline and Pacific Ocean, I had to watch my step--I really don't want to have to wash my car mats before showing property tomorrow.  It seems many pet owners have decided to ignore the 'bag and trash it' duty.

 

One pet owner decided to mar the view, by tying the poop bags to the trail fence railing.  How uncool is that?

 

Let's try a little harder to keep our beautiful area free of poop and plastic bags full of poop.  That view should be a poop free zone!
