10 Tips Designed to Help You Sell Your Home

    Designer T. Cordelle Louis, co-founder of Design Theory, says
    homeowners can do many things to improve their home's sales
    potential. She advises homeowners to work with a professional
    designer who can put together a comprehensive plan for the visual
    touches. Louis says cosmetic changes don't have to cost a lot and
    even more expensive structural upgrades often are far offset by the
    money a well-designed home can bring.

    Here are some tips to help sell that home!

    --Paint: Painting with a color scheme will create a fresh look.

    --Window Treatments: Adding window coverings that are neutral
    and that complement the rest of the home will be more visually
    appealing.

    --Purge: Remove the clutter. Pack up, sell or donate anything that
    is not truly needed.

    --Furniture: Staging or rearranging furniture allows a potential
    buyer to visualize how the areas can be laid out. Keep in mind you
    want to retain a spacious feeling without making it feel sparse.

    --Cleaning and maintenance: Go through your home and do a
    thorough "spring cleaning." Make sure all lighting fixtures have
    functioning bulbs. Remove household odors.

    --Accessorize: Add some plants, accent pillows, and accessories
    to give it some punch. In the kitchen, cookbooks, spices and small
    appliances can be used as a great visual effect.

    --Electrical: Adding recessed lighting, rewiring or upgrading an out-
    of-date electrical panel will add a lot of value to the home

    --Plumbing: Changing out rotting pipes or upgrading to copper
    piping is recommended.

    --Flooring: Changing carpet to hardwood flooring will raise value
    as well as attract buyers with allergy issues.

    --Remodeling: Upgrading kitchen and bathrooms, changing out
    windows for more efficient types, and adding sustainable or
    "green" features are ways to increase your return and may be key
    to "closing the deal." A bonus would be adding something your
    neighbors don't have such as a home theater room, since much of
    today's entertaining is taking place in the home.
