Vernique The Realtor

I love getting to know the homes I sell, and while I can walk around, measure, and take notes and photos, I really don’t know a home until my clients open up about the lives they've lived in their homes.

That's why, early on in the selling process, I always ask my sellers what they love about their homes.

And I don't want to know the obvious things like a massive primary closet or top-of-the-line kitchen appliances. I mean the small, personal details.

Things like the way the sun streams in during the morning or the cozy chair by the fireplace where your toddler likes to curl up with a book or the thriving herb garden you've been nurturing for years on the back patio. Those, my friends, are the details that make your home truly special.

So before you sell your home, ask yourself: What makes my home stand out? What do I love here that I know I won't find anywhere else? Then, take a deep breath, give thanks for the home you have, and pass those things along to your agent, so they can use what you love to appeal to buyers. 

All this talk has me wondering, what do you love about your home - something only you would know? Share in the comments! I’ll read them all!

Gentle reminder today that curb appeal makes all the difference when selling your home. ⁣

You know the curb appeal trifecta: mulch, seasonal color, and a pressure-sprayed driveway. But you're gonna need to add these three if you want to level up your outdoor situation: ⁣
⁣
1) Illuminate walkways. Would-be buyers are sure to do a nighttime drive-by (trust me, they will). Ambient outdoor lighting will have them oohing and ahhing. (Quick tip: Solar lights make this a cinch.)⁣
⁣
2) Update porch lights. Replace crooked, outdated, or rusty porch lights with something fresh and modern. Your local home improvement store and a couple of hours are all you need. ⁣
⁣
3) Add seating with outdoor throw pillows. Everyone dreams of a breezy afternoon in the yard, sipping a cold glass of lemonade. Add seating to give buyers an exact place to do just that.⁣

Time to get to it! And, of course, save this post for later, or reach out if you want to talk about what’s happening in your neighborhood market this February!⁣
