Get Maximum Value For Your Home With Our 4-Point Selling Plan

Home presentation may be the most under-estimated factor when selling and doesn’t have to cost much. Simple home cleaning, organization, and staging techniques can make the difference of thousands of dollars in your selling price or even affect whether you sell at all.

 

But it’s very hard for a home owner to know where to start, how much to spend, or what will provide the best return on investment.

 

In order to maximize the selling value of your home, Tony Cikes provides all our clients with a no-charge home consultation and our Home Seller Preparation Checklist. From basic do-it-yourself organization and cleaning tips to staging and renovations options, we will perform a cost benefit analysis on each project to help determine how to maximize your return on investment and have your home show at its best.

 

Some homes need a little, some need a lot. Likewise, staging can range from simply removing clutter and re-arranging furniture to completely re-furnishing your home. Usually staging costs are significantly less than performing renovations and offer a much better return on investment for sellers.

 

Research shows that even a small investment in home staging can yield considerable gains when selling a home. According to a study by Staged Homes, staged properties sell for an average price of 6.9% more and 50% faster than non-staged properties. In a 2007 survey by Home Gain, it was found that home staging can yield a 340% return on investment to the average seller; while a 2008 survey by RESA (Real Estate Staging Association) found that vacant homes sold 85% faster, and occupied homes sold in 89% less time on the market when staged.

 

For most homes costly renovations are not needed; but sometimes a home may need a litle extra TLC. You don’t want a potential buyer to get caught up on the fact that a tap leaks, the carpet is worn and stained, windows or walls have cracks, or tiles are missing. If renovations are needed, Tony Cikes can help out by providing a list of approved contractors and even schedule and coordinate the repair work at your request.
