How to Wow Buyers In The Aventura Real Estate World

This a different market than any we have seen in a decade.  Buyers have so much to choose from and have so little respect for the unappealing property that sellers have to really take a good hard look at their homes and  see what the stranger coming into the house or condo sees.

• Hire a home stager.  It will be the best money you ever spent. This professional will rearrange your existing furniture to make the rooms look inviting and pretty.
• Update bathrooms with little expense, like replacing gaudy shower curtains with simple designs and neutral colors and adding new towels and remove all bottles and creams and soaps.
• Never leave an empty room, empty.  Buyers have little imagination.  Create a home office or a put in a bed and a table and some flowers and present it as a guest room
• Remove all clutter from the home. 
• Remove all personal items.  No one is interested in your family photos.  A Buyer wants to think of herself in the space.
• If you have some money to spare, and you have a very outdated kitchen, put in new appliances.

In a nutshell, dress up your home.  Let it shine.  Buyers will appreciate the new look and your chances of selling will increase exponentially.

If you have some good ideas or if you have succeeded in doing some of these things, let me hear from you.

   I can’t tell you how many people ignore this advise and then wonder why their home is still sitting on the market. Unless they’re going to give me a buy of a lifetime (and the numbers to back this up), then they’d better shine it up!
