Thinking of putting your home on the market this spring? Now’s the time to do it! Just in case you missed it, the Dallas-Fort Worth area is a seller’s market and one of the hottest in the U.S. right now. The buyers are ready and waiting, but if you do plan on going for it, it’s important to make sure you’re home is in tip-top shape. We reached out to our friend Cliff Ellman of Spiffi Decor for some tips on getting your home all dolled up for potential suitors.
Drive Up Appeal is Extremely Important
You only get one chance at a first impression, and so does your home. Capitalize on your its drive up appeal with a fresh coat of paint, a well-maintained front yard or an eye-catching doorway.
Edit Your Space
Subscribe to a “less is more” attitude. Less clutter makes rooms feel bigger.
Depersonalize
Take down any family photos, portraits, etc. Buyers need to see the house as a place that could be their home someday.
Keep it Neutral
Neutral walls in rooms are more calming and appealing. Keep the color for your furniture and accessories
Don’t Forget the Backyard
Staging your home goes beyond the rooms of the house. Outdoor living is very appealing, so make sure buyers are seeing its maximum appeal.
Don’t Bury the Bones
Buyers are looking for a beautiful clean look with good bones. Though your space should feel open and inviting, the bones of the house are the primary selling point, so make sure you’re complimenting them with the staging.
