3 Simple Tips Increase Your Asheboro NC Home’s Value

3 Simple Tips Increase Your Asheboro NC Home’s Value

Even when it is clearly necessary, if you’re like most of us, you feel a built-in reluctance to list your Asheboro NC home for sale. Those four walls (okay, I know there are more like 40 or 80, but bear with me) contain all the furnishings and other possessions we gather through the years to create our family’s unique environment. When we come through that front door, we feel more comfortable than anywhere else on Earth.

But your home is also an investment (and what a colossal one it is!). That’s why the decision to sell your Asheboro NC property—disconcerting though it may be—ought to be much more a business proposition than an emotional one.

When you choose me as your Asheboro NC listing agent, it becomes part of my job to point out the smart business decisions that will help you sell your property—even when that means altering some of what has always made the place feel like home to you.

Fortunately, sometimes there are really simple things that increase a home’s perceived value:

The front door is frequently absent from renovation lists, but as the point of entry, it does much to influence potential home buyers. Installing a bright, shiny new brass doorknob, giving the door a fresh coat of paint, or adding a traditional mailbox out at the curb can make your entire home seem more inviting.

Buyers are attracted to spacious rooms. If you have a cramped hall or dining area, think “mirror”. Adding one or two large wall mirrors automatically make any home that much more expansive.

If you enjoy your oversized television, you’re part of a not-so-silent American majority. That’s all well and fine, but unless the room is a man-cave, it’s likely that a television which overpowers the space will make buyers feel that the room is too small. Consider swapping for a size-appropriate set to help you sell your Asheboro NC home for sale.

Even on a minuscule budget, minor changes like these can attract interested buyers in this winter’s market. Looking for more creative ideas to sell your Asheboro NC property? Why not call me today? Waynette Araj 336-953-6526.

Asheboro NC Home Staging: Organization Works Wonders

Asheboro NC Home Staging: Organization Works Wonders.

Staging your Asheboro NC home for showings will always be a time-eater. The word itself is indicative: “staging” means transforming your busy household into a theatrical set. In addition to thoroughly cleaning every nook and cranny, it usually means spending on paint and a variety of minor supplies to tweak the production. Then comes the actual visits by potential home buyers, sometimes interrupting your schedule (sometimes with very little notice).

If you have kids, keeping the staging in pristine condition must clear an extra hurdle. When the kids spill food on the floor (or leave toys underfoot for potential home buyers to trip over), selling your home can turn into a hand-wringing ordeal. It needn’t be. Here are a few sanity-preserving pointers:

Designate one room for the kids

While it may be impossible to totally prevent kids from being messy, we can keep the youthful chaos quarantined to one room. Designate the place in the house that will be the “kid’s area” so that the cleanup in advance of a showing becomes more manageable.

Keep the show towels separate from the real towels

A successful Asheboro staging routine pays special attention to focal points in the kitchen and bathrooms. Both should come as close as possible to a model home’s—which makes it crucial to keep a separate set of unused towels and floor mats to switch in whenever the home is going to be viewed. (There should be no secrets within a family, except maybe for this one: make sure the kids don’t know where you hide the show towels!)

Clear the “stage”

There are many items we keep handy that aren’t essential for day-to-day living. Whether it is unnecessary pieces of furniture or extra boxes full of toys for the children, these things combine to contribute to a sense of cluttered spaces. Stashing as much clutter as possible in a temporary storage unit will make your staging cleanup jobs much easier. It will also contribute to the clean uncluttered appearance home buyers find appealing.
