Tips from the Experts Helpful hints and local knowledge from the experts: our Team Members LANDSCAPE

First impressions are important! Update the landscaping, trim shrubs and trees, add fresh mulch, plant colorful annuals. Pressure wash walkways, driveways, porches. A fresh coat of paint or stain on the front door makes a huge difference.

Make your home sparkle by decluttering and cleaning every surface. Pack up children’s toys and most family photos. The buyer needs to be able to imagine their family in the home. Organize the coat and linen closets as well as all bedroom closets. Put out of season clothes in storage. Closets should look airy and smell fresh.

Make sure bathroom towels and area rugs are new. Touch up interior paint. Just before showings, add fresh cut flowers throughout the home. A bowl of colorful fruit is also inviting on the kitchen counter.

— Cindi Moore WHITE WITH A POP OF COLOR

A white bowl of limes or lemons on the island adds a pop of color and is a quick fresh fix—it also lasts longer than flowers. White walls are trending, too. Turn on all lights, especially under cabinet lighting. I like to leave a small bowl of candy (peppermint patties and Hershey kisses) by the listing info, or cookies for an open house. Agents and buyers get hungry while touring — nice for a chocolate pick me up!

Open all blinds and drapery. Wash the windows. Plant flowers and use fresh mulch in beds.

Clean out closets—especially linen closets. Fresh towels.

Baskets are a perfect way to quickly stash personal items before a showing. — Ashley McMillan STORAGE

Storage space is so important to buyers. Remove items you aren’t currently using, and take them away. Your closets should be at least 25% empty. Matching hangers also make the space look neat.

Don’t forget your outdoor space. A nice table or even a couple of chairs with decorative pillows and a pot or two of fresh flowers really adds charm.

Buyers may look in your fridge, so make sure it’s clean and organized. This goes for the pantry too: pull items off the floor and keep it at least 25% empty. Make sure your light switch plates are clean and fingerprint free. If you have children, make sure the handrail on your stairs isn’t sticky.

#BTW FIRST IMPRESSIONS

You only have one chance to make a first impression. The same is true when a potential buyer is “meeting” your home for the first time. Therefore, it is essential that the entrance to your home is at its best. Give your front door a fresh coat of paint. Classic black is always a good choice and appeals to a wide range of buyers. However, pops of color are trending this spring with everything from turquoise to hot pink!

The color choice should mirror the interior style and color palette of your entry way. Place planters with seasonal flowers around your front door and on your front porch that compliment your door color. Fresh mulch and flowers are also key and serve to invite buyers from the curb to the front door.

— Amanda Blackburn

ENTRYWAYS

Make sure that all doors being used to enter and exit the house while showing are fully functional, clean, and freshly painted if needed! The door to anyone’s new home is the first real impression.

— Jen Haire LIGHTEN AND BRIGHTEN

The DM Relocation Department specializes in the transfer of individuals, families, and corporate employees to and from the Charlotte area. I see a lot of homes that families have to sell quickly due to a job transfer, and here’s what helps to get a home ready to sell quickly: • Make sure your home’s interior is freshly painted in light neutral colors. Right now Benjamin Moore’s White Dove, Alabaster by Sherwin Williams, and Wimborne White

by Farrow & Ball are popular.

• Make sure all your rooms have adequate up-to-date lighting. Lighting is a quick fix to make a home feel fresh.

• Scour the front entry. Make sure that it is dust, cobweb and dirt free. Replace dull kick-plates and worn fixtures. Plant flowers and put out fresh mulch. Take the time to clean vents, baseboards, light switches and places that collect dust and dirt like window blinds and ceiling fans.

• Box up clutter and knick knacks. Leave clean, open spaces as much as possible. Remove dark, oversized furniture and have it stored. Clean out closets, utility drawers, attics and basements.

Don’t be overwhelmed. If you need help, call us and we will send in reinforcements!

Dickens Mitchener Celebrates 25 Years of Opening Doors in the Queen City The agents and staff at Dickens Mitchener enjoyed a spectacular evening of cocktails, dinner and dancing at the Ritz Carlton on November 15th to celebrate the firm’s 25th anniversary.

The event was planned by David Klingel, The Event Professor, and music was provided by nationally-known band, Diverse Groove. The ballroom was beautifully decorated and the dance floor was packed the entire evening. It was the perfect way to commemorate more than two decades of exceptional sales and customer satisfaction.

We want you to be our client for life, and we take the challenge of earning your trust and loyalty completely to

heart.

Far more than business, it is a personal matter to us whether you are merely satisfied or absolutely delighted with our services. And so, more than an agent, we offer a highly

experienced team. More than their experience, we dedicate hours upon hours of hard work. More than such

diligence, we add original ideas and remarkable touches that excite you about buying or selling a home. And finally, more than all our efforts, we give you our sincere

appreciation for choosing our way.
