Design For Leaving

DESIGN FOR LEAVING is a sub-division of God Family Real Estate® that provides clients with a level of complimentary Staging services. “Staging” is the process of creating a successful Design, whether interior or exterior, to capture interest. Now, that Design might simply be a thorough clean-up; or a pop of color; or furniture and accessory re-arrangement; or even a complete renovation requiring extensive knowledge beyond aesthetics that include building codes and a deep understanding of various stages of a construction process. The key is know-how and perceiving which Design to implement in a cost-effective way that will highlight a property’s full potential and maximize its value, which is what we do par excellence!

CHECKLIST for a Better Home Showing:

  • Get organized. Clear off counters and pack unnecessary decorative items/toys. Put extra furniture in storage. Do not forget to clean out closets, cabinets, and the garage, too. Consider a yard sale.
  • Keep it clean. A deep clean before listing your home will make upkeep easier. Clean the windows and open the curtains to show off your view. Replace burnt bulbs to help bring more light into your home. Wipe down walls or consider brushing on a fresh coat of bright, neutral paint.
  • Take care of minor repairs. Sticky doors, cracked caulking, or a dripping faucet may seem trivial, but they will give Buyers the impression that the house is not well-maintained.
  • Lock up valuables and medication.  Agents cannot watch everyone all the time.
  • Tidy up outdoors. Cut the grass, rake the leaves, add new mulch, trim the bushes, edge the walkways, and clean the gutters. A pot of bright flowers near the entryway adds great curb appeal.
  • Arrange for a pet sitter. If that is not possible, crate or confine them to one room, and let me know where they will be to eliminate surprises.
  • Head out. It can be awkward for Buyers if you are home at the time of a showing.
