Sometimes we can get caught up in the financial side of real estate but, what matters is the emotions of homeownership. Make your house a home in Philadelphia. The feeling of coming home has a different meaning for us all. A familiar scent, favorite chair or cozy room can be essential in decision making. Owning a home is an accomplishment. So many people dream of the day where they hold the new keys to a beautiful abode. Planning and working with a Realtor to help settle into a new neighborhood can help. A celebration is in order when the papers are inked and you move your belongings—a milestone of creating a long-term lifestyle.
As a seller looking to attract buyers, removing personal belongings or family mementos can help visualize the rooms for a new owner. There’s a line between stark and cold and too much personality that can be overwhelming. Paring down the amount of furniture per room, especially in city homes, can expand the movability and size of the rooms. A turn-off to buyers is the lack of ability to walk around with ease. Give the bathroom a homey feel by adding a candle or minimal plant. When I show homes, buyers are pleased with cute bathroom accessories.
There’s no place like home after a long day of work. Home offers security to unwind and relax while enjoying the ones you love. Invest in a home that meets your needs. Have dedicated space for working from home, a shared bathroom and an enclosed patio or roof deck. You control design or renovation updates to create the home you imagine. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a repeat buyer, now is great to reflect on your intention.
With my help, clients appreciate that I will guarantee support on the buy and sell-side. Many of my past clients work with me to sell multiple properties and buy others. Often, they will refer me to friends and family since they have had such a great, memorable experience. I strive to make this the same case for all of my clients.
