Free Your Space: It Just Makes Cents - Chadds Ford Live

Spring cleaning and clearing out

Spring is the best time of the year to refresh, re-new, clean up and clear out ares in our home, office, computer...


With longer days, more sunshine, birds cherping and spring flowers in their glory we find that indoor spaces need a new look as well. What a better time than this to clear out and organize.

Annette Reyman of Alright Organizing has many great ideas and she is speaking at Springfield Township Library tonight. We all have these few items we don't know what to do with she can help! I know she can, my clients and myself can vouch for it. She made our life easier on more than one occasion.

This is a free event and a great deal of useful information. Hope to see you there.

"Get Organized Month" January 2011

January is a "Get Organized Month" for many, especially when one plans on placing their home on the market this year.


Here are a couple of helpful links:

Feng Shui For Life

and

All Right Organizing

Sellers Minimize, Organize and Stage - It is Spring and almost the end of $8000 tax credit.

Before:

After:

What a difference! Some paint, two valances, a bit of wall paper, expert know how and determination. One week later this is what this kitchen has changed into. I am sure we agree that Buyers would rather see and buy the kitchen in our 2nds picture. Complements of "Red Letter Rooms Staging and Design".



When preparing your home to sell ask yourself to think as a buyer then ask your self : “Do I need to improve the following?”



Exterior:



1. Yard improvements?
2. Painting or repairing siding, front entrance to your home, chimney stack, walkway, driveway, sidewalk...
3. Lighting?

Interior:



1. Entry way to your home, Kitchen, bathrooms and master bedroom are the key? How do they look?
2. Lighting in each room. Is it adequate for someone to see without knowing the house?
3. Is interior painted to reflect a light and bright home?
4. Carpeting and flooring does it need updating?
5. Plumbing and Electrical - is it to code and functioning as it should?
6. Is each room and overall home staged for sale?

7. Is each closet, each room and each floor organized with a clear purpose?



Both outdoors and indoors, do I need to de-clutter and do I need to stage. If not sure ask experts. You will be amazed what a difference a professional can make for your "take home bottom line”.



My bottom line advice to sellers is minimize, organize and stage!
