For many reasons I couldn’t have been more excited for the closing of this property in Elmhurst this past Monday. This was my first “Covid” listing, set to hit the market when the outbreak began. We knew we had some challenges ahead of us with the uncertainty of how buying and selling real estate during a pandemic would play out. With stay at home orders in place, we quickly adjusted our marketing plan and dove in to selling homes virtually. We cancelled our open house and replaced it with a virtual tour of the property hosted by @cglowrealtor and myself. A couple days later we did Facetime/ live showings to potential buyers and within days had the property under contract. 12 days from active to under contract with every safety precaution possible in place to protect the health and well being of clients, associates, and myself. Many E signatures, recorded inspections, and zoom meetings later we began the new closing process not a day later than expected. If there is a will there is always a way. Congratulations to my sellers, The Scott Family, on the sale of your first home. Thank you for trusting in me to follow through as promised and being so open minded at such a crazy time in our lives. The sale of the home you began your lives and family in together will be one I will never forget.🥰🏠✔️😷 #yourrealtorreena #remaxagent #listwithreena #providencerealestate #elmhurstneighborhood #covidrealestate #closedduringcovid19 #rirealtor #weareinthistogether #essentialworker (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_z3Dz8nnks/?igshid=1mgnr2p6bf4vv

😍One of my favorite parts about my career is that every week (every day even) is so different. New buyers, new listings, new houses to tour and sell, new vibes and new goals. For example, one recurring, but always different goal is: how to help my sellers prepare their house for sale and market it in a way that tells a story. Every home has a story and I consider it my super power to help tell it in a way that will attract the right buyers. When I sit down and meet with my sellers I ask questions such as “what is your favorite room in your house, where do you spend the most time, what attracted you to the house when you bought it?”.. Because the crazy thing is, at one time the sellers were the ideal buyer for this house and I want to dig into those answers so I can flip it around and attract the ideal buyer again! #yourrealtorreena #rirealestate #homeseller #listwithreena (at ReMax Advantage Group) https://www.instagram.com/p/B90H5qbn8_1/?igshid=bz2a2ha81cdm

Home Staging Made Simple – Here’s your checklist: ✅ Solid neutrals > bold patterns and colors ✅ White linens for the bedrooms and bathrooms ✅ New doormat and entryway rug for a fresh first impression ✅ Shelf styling like a pro (*search Pinterest for inspiration) ✅ Pre-pack: take out half of everything in closets, cabinets and your pantry and pack it up! ✅ Light your way to sold! Always have the lights turned on, the blinds opened up and bring in as much natural light as possible. Invest in additional lighting for darker rooms and spaces. ✅ Show off the lifestyle of your home – highlight your favorite rooms and what you love most about the house #yourrealtorreena #listwithreena #rihomeseller #stagedtosell #checklist✔️ (at Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xG-ePHZdQ/?igshid=1vzggmkzkskc8

🙋🏼‍♀️WHICH ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE DO YOU SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME IN? Is it the living room? It’s where we cozy up and watch Netflix, drink hot toddy’s by the fireplace, or hangout with family – it’s where life happens! If you’re going to be listing your home for sale, it’s important you make this room feel like home without having tons of family pictures. So I have a few favorite items that will add a cozy-cool vibe to your living room including an accent lamp, a trendy mirror and a comfy throw.

🏠THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL YOU CAN USE WHEN SELLING YOUR HOME: How your home is presented is one of the most powerful tools you can use if you want to attract the most buyers AND increase demand (and in turn, your sale price)! The best way to make sure your house looks it’s best for the professional photographer and the buyers is to STAGE IT. Most buyers are going to see your home online before they ever step foot through your front door. If you have large pieces of furniture blocking a view or overly cluttered bookshelves, it won’t photograph well. With a little help from a Realtor 🙋🏼‍♀️who has helped many sellers in your shoes, you can help get your house looking its best before it hits the market! Many sellers are all too quick to shut down the idea of staging because all they see are dollar signs that they’d rather save to invest in their next house. But you’re in luck! The entire month of November, I’m sharing all of my staging tips including a free guide I created that’s full of my go to items to put on your home staging shopping list (and I promise they won’t break the bank)! I’ll be sharing what kind of items you should focus on adding or replacing when it comes to staging your home on a budget.
