A Simple Change to Help Sell Your Home

PAINT!

The paint on your walls is an important part of selling your home. If sellers can do

nothing else, they should at least add a fresh coat of paint. It will help to give the house a “new home” feel. Going with soft, neutral colors is almost always a safe bet. If you’d like to be a little more daring, use bold accent colors. Aim to create a sense of comfort and relaxation. Earth-tone colors convey this very well. Greys are also often used. A dark grey color can create a bold statement.

I love how the color scheme flows together in this home in Charles Village: 

Two toned grey walls, clean white borders, and bright colored accessories.

316 East Cold Spring Lane

A great home awaiting new owners. Are you ready to move? 

This home boasts 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and lays on a double lot. The home's large living room with a wood-burning fireplace leads to a crisp, bright sun-room. While the eat-in kitchen has an island and breakfast nook, there is also a separate formal dining room with lots of light! With the finished basement with a bedroom, full bath, and bar, this home is perfect for entertaining! The driveway wraps to the back of the house creating plenty of parking for you and your guests.

Ready for 2014

And We're Off!

Though winter tends to be a slow time in real estate, I was lucky enough to maintain business during the holiday season. Even better, the market is going to continually pick up as spring approaches; and I sure am ready!

If you know you want to sell your home this year, now is the time to start thinking about how you’re going to get that done. Start by meeting with a Realtor® (I happen to know a great one!) in order to assess your home and give advice on any work that may need to be done. This will give you time to make simple repairs, de-clutter your home, and get estimates from licensed professionals- for any more serious issues. Knowing of and fixing any problems in the home before putting it on the market will give it an advantage, and will help you to avoid surprises. No one wants issues to arise after putting a home on the market.

Once you've done your part in getting the house prepared for buyers to admire, your life
will be easier knowing the issues have been taken care of. This will make the selling process so much simpler for you (and the potential buyer).
