The Thing About First Impressions: They're Made in 8 Seconds.

 

The thing about first impressions: they’re made in 8 seconds.
8 seconds is the amount of time you have to make an impression on a potential buyer.
This is what our recent clients focused on to ensure they hit the mark from the get-go:

1. They got to work on curb appeal. They did this by refreshing mulch, adding some colorful pots of plants, a new doormat and ensuring their yard was free of debris, dead leaves and drooping limbs (we know - a tall order after our recent storm, but oh-so-worth it!).

2. They decluttered. Clutter can turn off buyers in seconds - we’ve seen it firsthand. Our clients took a critical look and cleared countertops, culled closets, and removed personal momentos to give buyers the ability to envision themselves living there.

3. They agreed to staging. The final touch! The stagers brought in a few key pieces that tied the space together perfectly. One reason we typically recommend it: professionally staged homes spend 73% less time on the market compared to homes that haven’t been staged*.

Curious what your home is worth? Send us an email and we’ll reply with a personalized market analysis detailing your property’s value - no strings attached!
