Fall Home Staging tips.


The Fall season for many of us is our favorite season, and with good reason. The comfortable temps during the day, and the beautiful colors contribute greatly to our enjoyment of this time of the year. Taking advantage of people's love of the season when you are selling your home can be a wise decision. Here are some tips to help you out.

- Add seasonal decor to the outside and the inside of your home. Not overdoing it, but just enough to bring in the fall colors and harvest feel.

- Create some cozy spaces. Put a throw on the couch, some colorful leafs or pine cones on the coffee table, fall colored candles, etc.. Make it look inviting to whoever sees it.

- If you have a fireplace, show it off. If it is not lit, have some nice birch logs that look like they are ready to be lit and enjoyed.

- Hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks creates a wonderful aroma and can be a nice touch to offer potential buyers during their walk through. 

- Put a pumpkin or two on the front step. Inexpensive to do, but can be a nice first impression as people pull up to your home. Some cornstalks on each side of the garage door can look nice too.

I am sure you can probably think of many more ideas, but these will be a good start for you when preparing your home for potential buyers to walk through. Buyers will always remember how a home made them feel when they walked through it. To contact Pete and John to list your home visit our website!

Take advantage of the fall market!


If you are considering selling this fall and want to take advantage of the great weather that brings people out, give Pete and John a call and schedule a time when they can sit down with you and go over your options. Fall brings beautiful weather that most everyone likes and puts us all in the mood to get out and enjoy the great outdoors that our area enjoys. Whether it be picking apples or pumpkins, seeing the fall colors, and yes, for some of us, looking at homes. There is always the thought to wait for Spring when it is real estates busiest time of the year, but listing in the fall has its advantages too, such as less competition. The market is still good and we are looking forward to a great fall season for our clients. Give Pete a call at 651-379-9313, or John at 651-379-9312 and let their experience go to work for you too!
