Heart of the Home
A kitchen facelift helps sell this home in less than 3 months after it had previously lingered on the market for over 9. The techniques utilized here are easily adapted to your kitchen. The goals—present this space as clean, bright, spacious, and updated.
This kitchen has good bones. The cabinets are well made, appliances in excellent condition, and the floor and counters are a neutral white.
Even though the kitchen has ample lighting the seller complains that the room has always been dark. This problem is easily fixed by removing the busy—and highly personal—wallpaper. A light and bright space has been hiding underneath all along.
Additionally, the leaf is removed from the table, all under cabinet appliances eliminated, counters decluttered, cabinet hardware updated, the chipped faucet replaced, cabinets polished, and the major appliances cleaned—inside and out—to look like new.
Knowing potential home buyers look inside cabinets, fifty percent of the contents are removed, and the rest neatly organized.
And the most important tip—clean sells. This applies to all spaces in your home, but especially kitchens and baths. Detail every inch of your kitchen like it is an expensive sports car.
A kitchen staging like this takes more elbow grease than money. The only costs are for a new faucet, cabinet hardware, and paint. Amaze yourself, your agent and your buyers. Infuse a little home staging to win over the hearts of house hunters.
