Oakland County Lake Home selling tips

 
As you well know if you have lived in Michigan for a while that spring and summer is the best time to list and sell your home.  It applies to lake homes too.  The prime Michigan home selling time is coming up.  It is about that time to start getting ready to sell your Oakland County lakefront home if you are thinking of listing it this spring.  It always takes a little more time than you think to prepare your lake home for sale.  So you may be wondering where do you start?  One of the first projects you should do is de-clutter.  If you have less stuff in the house it will appeal better to lake home buyers.  I know you love your little collections but now is the time to start putting them away.  Think of it as pre-packing.  You are moving right?  So what does it matter whether your cherished belongings are out for a couple of months.

Our goal is to make your home appeal to as many Metro Detroit lale home buyers as possible.  We don’t want to turn the buyers off because of what you love, like, or believe in.   It is time to be humble, modest, and not show who you are.  It's about selling your house.  Not every person likes or loves the same things you do, or has the same religion that you do.  We know you could say well we don’t care whether they like what we believe in or what we like.  However that lake home buyer might have been the one person that loved your house.  We need your home to have the widest audience as possible.  The bigger the number of buyers that like it the better the chance of getting it sold quickly.

We want your home to look like a model home if possible.  We want you to get the best possible price.  We are trying to de-clutter the house, while making it neutral.  We want the buyer to be able to picture themselves in your home.  We are a multi-cultural and multi religion area.  We have Jewish, Christian, Indian, and Muslim home buyers.  Put away the religious artifacts.  It will help sell your home.

There are animal activists, people with clown phobias too.  Put away your hunting trophies, your clown or plate collection.  We want the buyers to be looking at your home not your collections, or your photos.  Our goal is to make your home look like a something out of a magazine.  We want it to appear spacious and uncluttered.  Think of buyers asn a 5 foot deep pool.  If you turn offa lake home buyer because of animal trophy or because of your religious shrine that pool of home buyers may only be 2' deep now.  So don't be foolish and keep the collections out.

De-cluttering only takes time.  So there is no money involved.  It is one of the best investments you can make. Now let's get to the root of de-cluttering your home.  Our rule is to only have 1 to 3 items on any shelf, or countertop.  Clear everything off the refrigerator.  If your home is full of furniture then some pieces may need to be stored.  You can put them in the basement or garage.  Openness is the key.  We have done this too long with lake home buyers and sellers.  We know which homes buyers will like because of the de-cluttering.  A cluttered house turns off buyers.  A cluttered house takes longer to sell.  A cluttered house is not going to get the best price it could.  So do you want less money for your home?  Is it worth $5000 to de-clutter your home.

Of course it is.
