MAKE AN ENTRANCE

The number-one, top most important item is the exterior. If you can’t get people through the door,

it’s hard to make them make a purchase.Upgrade your front door so it’s clean, secure, and has matching hardware with the house numbers.

When buyers are walking through a home, they’re trying to envision themselves living there—hard to do when they’re surrounded by the

framed faces of someone else’s family.Remove any type of family photos, anything overly personal in the home, because you want to make it

appeal to the largest demographic possible.

Beige isn’t the only choice for neutrals—go for gray too to keep you home looking clean and appealing. You’re looking to appeal to 90 percent of the people

90 percent of the �me. The majority of people should feel comfortable in the space—not excited, not upset. If you do want a pop of colour, use it as an accent in pillows, pain�ngs, and other items.

While you don’t have to s�ck to one par�cular style—in fact, most people describe themselves

as eclec�c—try to avoid staunch differencesbetween the designs of each roomand go for a more cohesive look.

While tradi�onal, modern, and eclec�c can all look appealing, try to set your décor up to match buyers’

expecta�ons. A transi�onal look tends to work well in urban or suburban se�ngs, but you might also want to line your design up with a style specific to the area. If

you’re selling a chalet in the mountains, don’t set up in an industrial se�ng—it’s going to be more country. Be in tune with where the home is and what design taste for that is.

When buyers are walking through the house,they’re going to be opening closets and looking in storage

areas. It can be overwhelming for a buyer to stepinto a space that’s visually very clu�ered.

Store excess items, especially kids’ toys, in your basement, as long as there’s enough room that you’re

not just crea�ng a new problem in that area. Otherwise, box up your clu�er and leave it in a storage unit.

Set your home up with a good traffic flow so poten�al buyers don’t get stuck in dead ends.

Make sure appliance and cabinet doors don’t block each other, doorways are clear, and your furniture

doesn’t require visitors to zigzag through the room. It’s nice to be able to walk all the way around

and not get to the end and turn around.

If you’ve been living there for a long �me, a home can be overclu�ered with furniture, which detracts

from how big the home appears. By removing a few pieces of unnecessary furniture

such as corner chairs in the living room, you can open up the space and make it look larger.

Make sure bright or outdated furniture doesn’t detract from the beauty of the home itself. If you’re

afraid your current collec�on of sofas and chairs could turn off buyers, try ren�ng some pieces when showing your home. Instead of your eyes going to

the sofa that has super bright colours, you’re no�cing the house and the views and the room.

Ligh�ng is simple but makes a huge impact. Some people really miss the opportunity to highlight a space. The more

light the be�er. Having ligh�ng to fit a few different moods in each room. For instance, a kitchen might have general ligh�ng on the ceiling, task light under cabinets, and sconces for mood ligh�ng near the ea�ng area, and

leave all of them on when showing your home.

Upda�ng a light fixture doesn’t have to be a fortune. Pot lights can be expensive, but switching out a light fixture and maintaining the current placement is best. If your main ligh�ng in the room comes from a single bulb,

replace it with a chandelier, using the same wiring so you don’t have to bring in an electrician. Having those eight

or so bulbs instead of one will make a huge impact.

The last thing you want buyers to think about is all the work they’ll have to put into a home if they move in.

If there’s a hook falling off the wall or a cabinet hinge that won’t shut right, now is the �me to repair it.

Anything the poten�al buyer comes and says, ‘I’ll have to fix that when I move in,’ go ahead and take care of that so it’s not something they’ll have to think about.
