Maximize Your House's Potential

Clients ask me all the time for my best advice on preparing their home to sell fast and generate the best offers. With Compass Concierge, my clients have access to assistance with the execution of a tailored plan for updating and staging their home with no payments up-front, no interest, and no hidden fees. And on average, clients who use Compass Concierge sell their houses faster and for more money - because their houses look great!

So where to start? A deep clean is important, as well as clear surfaces and decluttered rooms. Start packing and removing personal items well before your home hits the market. Here are a few more thoughts on high-impact updates.

* Paint - Fresh paint looks great and neutral colors make it easy for a potential buyer to picture her own furniture in the room. Painting is easy to schedule and quick to complete!

* Lighting - The right lighting is essential to bringing a room to life, and updates are also easy to schedule and quick to complete. Buyers like to see well-lit rooms, LED bulbs, dimmer switches, and new (clean!) switch plates.

* Kitchens & Bathrooms - Older kitchens and bathrooms in need of renovation can put their best foot forward with fresh paint, new appliances, updated light fixtures, and new tile/counters.

* Tech - Some simple additions like a Nest thermostat, Ring doorbell, or wifi-enable lighting can add perceived value without the price-tag of more elaborate home systems.

* Landscaping - First impressions are everything, and a lush but manicured yard is the first thing that a potential buyer will likely see. It also is the first signal to the buyer that the house is cared for and well-maintained.

Every home has different needs, so when you are thinking of selling I am more than happy to help you put together a target list. And with Compass Concierge I can help take the financial pressure off of getting the work done.
