#2. RED DOOR TIP—PAINT & MIRRORS ENLARGE A HOME’S SPACE:
Yes, Yes, Yes! Red Door understands you want to SELL your house FAST at MAXIMUM value!
SO, LISTEN TO THIS SURE-FIRE—RED DOOR—HOME-SELLING STRATEGY—TO GET IT DONE!
What ATTRACTS buyers? The answer please! It’s a house that has the perceived SPACIAL CAPACITY to accept and display all of the BUYER’S STUFF! Buyers want a HOUSE with SPACE!
Now wait just a minute! What about the basics Mr. Red Door? LOOK Mr. Seller everybody takes care of the basics. At our first MEETING, before LISTING YOUR HOME, we detail the basic preparations that NEED to be DONE! So, the BASICS can be handled right off the bat!
Your house needs to be “spic-n-span”–CLEAN-top to bottom! The clutter must GO! Render your home’s CURB APPEAL EXQUISITE! Hey, mow the lawn! HECK, GET AHEAD of the curve AND MOW YOUR NEIGHBOUR’S LAWN! That will make the STREETSCAPE IMMACLATE TOO!
Folks, the basics are DONE and DONE! Now we can get down to BRASS TACKS! It’s time to make your home look a lot more SPACIOUS with PAINT and MIRRORS!
First PAINTS! Consider using “LIGHT” paint colours! They make rooms appear larger and brighter. And think about painting the trim and mouldings an even ‘LIGHTER’ colour than the walls. The walls will then seem to be further back. What colours specifically? For optimum effect, most experts suggest “soft tones” like off-white, blues and greens. That’s your choice.
Now MIRRORS! When you STRATEGICALLY place a MIRROR in a ROOM it can greatly enhance the DEPTH of the room. The room looks larger, more open and brighter. This is especially true if the mirror is reflecting the outside light from a principal WINDOW.
Folks this is just the tip of the proverbial–“strategy”–iceberg. I am convinced this approach could make your house more attractive to buyers. Let’s talk soon about this and other strategies that I will be pleased to share with you.
