Curb Appeal Tip –

Use art to impress your next buyer. Since first impressions are lasting, take into consideration how new homeowners view your property? A house or condo that is lacking in aesthetics will set the pace for the rest of the estate. Using your space to create an inviting ambiance helps to stage the home with pizzazz. Try developing a seating area or use some plants or foliage to establish a welcoming atmosphere. Realtors know this is a trick that’s as old as the real estate market itself because it works. Even a contemporary exterior will leave a buyer smiling with outdoor statues or a vintage chair. The best part of this curb appeal theory is the ideas are wide open. Stay away from including artwork that may reflect your personality and focus more on the harmony that will complement the house. If you live in a luxury condo, you may be limited with items that can be left outside your doorway. Use a little creativity and keep it simple if you can property is allowed in a hallway.

Window Cleaning Tip –

Moreover, dirty windows may not seem like a deal breaker, glass that’s ultra-clean can create a bright, sunny appeal perfect for the right buyer. Even though this may not sound too dynamic, the logic is based on the care of the property and the view. Windows that have been subject to harsh weather can become a nuisance with water and dirt spots. Dirty salt water window spots can be particularly right with coastal properties and the mist coming from the ocean. Having clean windows can heed excellent results and is worth the time and money to maintain while your property is listed.

But, finding ways to utilize your homes existing space can also be in tune with what existing buyers want in their vacation or full-time property. Rooms used to create billiards, wine cellars and even a man-cave can be just the element needed to push the buyer over the edge.

Build a Fire Pit –

Fire pits are becoming a favorite item to add to the backyard. Besides, these artistic spots are perfect for entertaining. Whether you have an estate located behind a tropical forest or a lanai facing the Intracoastal, a well-designed fireplace can boost the selling prices of a home. While this may not apply to our luxury condominiums, it indeed is an excellent addition to any backyard space for country club houses.

Flooring Tips-

Many of the homes in South Florida have been designed with marble or porcelain flooring. Although some flooring can be expensive to replace, the consequences of a turned off buyer may be worse. This type of improvement creates character and style. Some alternatives to the traditional white or alabaster floors would be dark rustic wood or glass which can leave a ‘WOW’ factor with any new home buyer. Mosaics are yet another idea that are timeless solutions that can transform any space. Ask any interior designer, and they’ll almost always agree to start with the floors is the best when it comes to the finished product.

Re-Gut the Bathroom –

Depending on your construction, bathroom remodels are a sure way to increase the value of your home. Even if you don’t want to invest a lot of money, paint can significantly upgrade any enclosure. Keep in mind these are sanctuary spaces that should be warm, private and offer a spa-like experience. Use natural materials to bring out a secluded escape such as plants, fireplaces, and organic tiling. Not to mention, the more advanced these areas become, there will be an increase of adoration for the future home prospects.

Get Smart with Electronics –

In many of today’s modern homes owners are using electronics to help improve safety and become more efficient. Housing that’s wired for security cameras, lighting and programmable blinds and drapes can add an element of surprise. Not only are these devices convenient that can help with energy efficiency. However, your real estate agent must have a clear understanding of the features and benefits to your existing home devices. For example, some of the technology may include heated flooring, where your realtor may not see this with the naked eye. Be sure to fill them in on what type of innovation you have so they can pass the message along to potential investors.

Spas and Pools –

Since many of the housing in the luxury category includes a pool and spa, it’s important to keep these areas clean and free of any algae. Homeowners want to visualize what they’re lives will entail with the existing features of the home. A pool that is hard to maintain could be a turn-off so be sure to have your pool maintenance company keep this area spotless. The idea is to make every square inch of your property a delight to enter. Whether it’s the front door or the backyard, the more enticing your home is to the next buyer, the better it will be for adding monetary worth. Although these ideas are simple, they offer solutions to anyone wanting to sell their luxury home faster.
