You’ve settled on a solid list price, you’ve made updates to your interior and exterior — now, it’s on to staging, and making your home look both functional and beautiful and marketing your revamped home to the right audience takes some skill. Luckily, Central Realty can help you find the right designers and photographers to ensure your residence looks brand new and appealing.

Regarding photography, Central Realty recommend that a home sale is too important to leave this in the hands of amateur photographers, so they advise hiring a professional with a well-documented history with real estate clients. It should go without saying that your photographer should take many photos of your home’s interior, exterior, and surrounding property so you can choose the absolute best of the best.

Similarly, with home staging, you should consider working with a staging professional, which can help sell your home more quickly. You can assist by setting the mood with pleasant scents; light plenty of candles in the living areas and use scented cleaning sprays in bathrooms, bedrooms, and the kitchen. Also, consider steam- cleaning any carpeted floors in your house to remove stains and get them smelling like roses.

Once you’ve made the inside of your residence look stunning, it’s time to head outside to examine your home’s exterior. Assuming you’re selling your property in a relatively warm climate, ensure the lawn is mowed, the plants are pruned, and there are no unsightly messes anywhere to be found. Kids’ and pets’ toys should be put away in a shed or garage, while the sides of your house should be blemish-free.  A chem wash or even just a water blasting of a house can work wonders.

Conducting all of these tasks and working with various professionals, including your agent, is all a part of the home selling process, but at the end of the day, the best way to help sell your home is to be proactive. If your agent wants to show your home early in the morning to a possible buyer, let them come over to give them a tour. If you think a more neutral living room wall color would be more appealing to buyers, set time aside to re-coat them. In other words, be ready at all times to help your agent market your residence and, in turn, close a deal on your terms.

We at Central Realty can co-ordinate all the above jobs for our clients if needs be and make life easy for sellers is our specialty.
