To-Do List Curb Appeal
Brighten Up
Beware of Smells
Repairs
First impressions have never been more important. Fresh mulch and a few flowers out front go a long way! Pressure wash the driveway or throw down a fresh new layer of gravel.
Anytime a buyer or vendor comes to your house you'll want to make sure the home looks light and bright. Make sure all window coverings are open and all the lights are on. A Dark home feels small and uninviting.
Any overpowering smells (good or bad) should be kept to a minimum. Even items that may make a buyer "think" of a bad smell should be removed. ie- litter boxes, visiblle garbage cans, diaper pails, etc.
Even small repairs can cause a buyer to wonder "What else is wrong?" so be sure to fix any obvious concerns prior to listing.
Marketing Using strategic audience selection and our social media reach, we can specifically target your advertisements to the buyers most likely to fall in love with your home. By re-targeting these ads to the people who have already engaged, we make sure your home is always top of mind to buyer who are ready to make a move.
Professional Photography
A photo is worth a thousand words. In this case... hundreds of thousands or more. The photos buyers see online are truly their first impression of your home and what drives buyers in for showings.
Home Audit & Staging
We start with an audit to remove items from the home that make it feel too personal or cluttered and offer staging to help buyers be able to envision themselves in the home. Homes with professional staging sell for an average of 7-12% more than empty homes.
Beautiful Campaigns
Our marketing campaigns showcase your home's beauty both online and in print. Buyers will envision themselves living in your home and enjoying the lifestyle your home provides.
Online Syndication In addition to our local MLS and HomesteadHomeGroup.com, we also syndicate to all the major search sites and to several specialized property sites as well. You can be sure, your home will be featured in all the places your ideal buyer is shopping.

What are my expenses as a seller?
As a seller, you will be responsible for paying excise tax, listing fees, your half of title and escrow costs and miscellaneous recording fees. Your agent can provide you with an estimated net proceeds sheet so you can anticipate how much you will walk away with on closing day.
Do I need to clean? A well polished home will appeal to more buyers and will sell faster and for a higher price. Buyers feel more comfortable purchasing a home that is well maintained and a clean home helps to solidify a buyer that the home is well kept.
What should I work on first? Box up anything that personalizes your home (family photos, kids drawings, etc.) The goal is to allow buyers to imagine themselves living in your home. The less you have in your home the larger it will appear and the more buyers can imagine where their things can go.
What upgrades should I do before listing? Not all upgrades are equal or will make you money! Statistically there are areas of your home that you can upgrade or "polish" that will give you the most return. Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes and are a great place to start. Updating cabinets and countertops can completely change the overall feel of a home. Fresh paint and carpet can also add a lot of value and help maximize profits. Your agent can guide you in which areas are best to invest in and if it makes sense to do so.
