Interior Mistakes to Avoid
Moore emphasizes the importance of viewing your home objectively. Common errors include:
Personalized Choices: Making changes based on personal preferences rather than market trends.
Inconsistent Aesthetics: Using wall colors that clash with the overall design.
Neglecting Styling: Failing to stage the home, which can make it less appealing compared to well-presented properties.
Budget-Friendly Fixes:
Deep Cleaning: Thoroughly clean all areas, including cupboards, to make the space more inviting.
Refresh Surfaces: Consider respraying kitchen or bathroom doors and updating handles to give a modern look without a full renovation.
Window Treatments: Install floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains to add elegance and uniformity.
Outdoor Enhancements
Scott highlights the significance of curb appeal, noting that the exterior is the first impression buyers have. Simple actions can make a substantial difference:
Basic Maintenance: Regularly mow the lawn, weed the garden, and trim overgrown plants.
Mulching: Apply mulch to garden beds to improve aesthetics and plant health.
Appropriate Planting: Choose suitable plants for your climate and soil to ensure longevity and visual appeal.
