This is Part 3 in a series of things to do that will increase your chances of a quick home sale, for the highest possible price.

Make it Neutral Baby!

Go through your home, and take a realistic look at how personalized your home has become.  It may be great for you, but is it going to appeal to a wider audience?  That is the critical question!   

Scrutinize room colors, carpet colors, art collections, and family photos.

Your objective is to make your home appeal to the largest possible buying segment.  Ask yourself, “How many of the available buyer’s would be able to move in my home, with their furniture, and not have to replace the carpet, or re-paint the walls?”  Position your home to be as “liveable” to as many people as possible!  You simply must allow a buyer to mentally picture the home as theirs! 

Forget about your personal taste.  Sorry, it may be harsh, but get over it.  This is your money we’re talking about!  The market is always demand driven.  Trends do matter, whether you like them or not.  The average buyer will have a difficult time overlooking the cool blue carpeting and bold wallpaper you love so much.  Consider changing unusual or bold colors with neutral tones.  A couple of coats of a nice neutral paint, and white baseboards may be the best investment you’ve ever made!

Lastly, lose the family “Wall of Fame”.  All the pictures tend to be distracting to a potential buyer, and once again, hinders a buyer’s ability to picture themself owning your property.

If you are unsure of what should and shouldn’t be done, contact your local real estate professional, or an interior designer.  They will be able to point you in the right direction.
