Is it time for you to downsize? Maybe you’ve been living in your current home for a long time. You raised your family there with incredible memories, but the kids have all moved out. Now, you’re curious if you need this big home at all.

There is an emotional side to letting go of the place where you raised your family. Realtors are often asked, “When is a good time to sell?” The answer always stays the same. The best time to sell is when you’re ready.

If you don’t need a large home anymore, you’re certainly not alone. It’s time for an easier life. You don’t have to keep cutting the grass and shoveling the snow. Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a more urban environment where you can walk to restaurants and coffee shops? It’s time to consider what will make life more enjoyable for you as you move into a smaller home.

"What will make life more enjoyable for you?"

Keep in mind there a lot of millennials out there who are getting married, having kids, and looking for a bigger home. In other words, there will always be demand for your home. It’s not going to sit on the market as long as you might think it will!

If downsizing is right for you, please feel free to reach out to us. We would love to help you in any way we can. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Importance of Staging Your Home

Home staging is incredibly important when selling, but it has to be done right. When done incorrectly, it makes the home appear like a commodity and not a home. The purpose of staging is to elicit an emotional response from the buyer.

Sometimes a staging will leave you feeling a little flat. A lot of people say that you need to remove personal items from a home, but I disagree with that. Things should look and feel like a home, not a living space. We want the home to look nice, but also feel "lived in."

The outside of the home is just as important, and we pay attention to the exterior to make it feel personal and inviting. We want the buyer to relate to the home and have some sort of emotional response towards the property.

If you’re interested, we can come out to your property and have a look around to prepare you for a proper home staging. Please don’t hesitate to contact us about this!
