Staging Tips for Your Clearwater Beach and Gulf Coast Real Estate Sale

10 Low Cost Ways to Make Your Buyers Say WOW!

These low cost strategies to make your Clearwater Beach and Gulf Coast area home more appealing are sure to have your potential buyers saying WOW! Plus these tips are quick and easy.

Home Owners:

1. Mow the lawn and trim the bushes - especially the ones that block your windows and diminish sunlight.
2. Purchase a new doormat.
3. Add a bright pot of flowers (or even a small evergreen in winter) on your front porch.
4. Replace any old, tarnished doorknobs on your doors and polish or replace your house numbers.
5. Power-wash your driveway, sidewalk, and the exterior siding of your home.
6. Edge the grass around walks and trees plus add fresh mulch to your planting beds.
7. Purchase a new mailbox.
8. Upgrade the outdoor lighting for a feeling of safety (yes, buyers drive by your home at night too) and to add dramatic effect.
9. Clean your gutters.
10. Place a seasonal wreath on your front door.
11. Minimize the decor.  Your home is your castle and in most cases is also a direct reflection of who you are.  And while your Precious Moments figurine collection may be very important to you, it can serve as a distraction for potential buyers.  It is easier for buyers to visualize themselves in a property that has less of an imprint from someone else.  So to be sure your property is show ready, put away excess decorations, clear off countertops and try to minimize photos on the wall.  To potential buyers, less is Typically more.

Condo Owners:

(While certain building restrictions may apply to the exterior door area of your Unit, utilizing some of the same tips above on the interior door entry way can be just as effective.  Creating a feeling of "home" as soon a a potential buyer walks through the door leaves a lasting impression.)
