Homes By Devoe is a full service production team, dedicated to helping their clients buy and sell homes in Hoboken, New Jersey and the surrounding area. In the spirit of wanting to help protect, what can arguably be the largest transaction in a person's life, we have created a list of helpful tips to consider, when preparing your home or condominium for buying opportunities. Hudson County might be the area that we call home, but our hope is that these series of tips will be of useful value to anyone desiring to sell their house. One of the most important things to learn about the house selling process is that "less is more". Our society has a tendency to make unnecessary purchases and create crowded living quarters. You can start a new trend by minimalizing the basics and decluttering your home. Remove personal items and extraneous accessories to create a more livable space that is functional and easier on the eyes. Furniture seems to be the main culprit in the race for square footage, so ask yourself if there are any furnishings that you can do without. Another useful tip is to not be afraid to adjust your living spaces. There has been this grand misnomer that by putting all of your furniture against the walls, your rooms will give the appearance of being larger. This is not the case! Float your furniture away from the walls and try repositioning them into "conversation clusters". Make the space useful and use accessory pieces to create a more obvious traffic flow throughout the room. By doing this, you should be able to open it up and give the appearance of being much larger in size. There aren't many times in life to be whimsical, when it comes to the way your home is setup. Since your home is no longer a "home" and now a "product", why not play with the furniture to see if you can come up with a better scenario? You might have purchased that La-Z-Boy for the living room, but what if you put it in a guest bedroom and used it as a sitting area? If you have a table that is in your living room and isn't being used often, why not set it under a nice window, add a few accents and use t as a reading/writing desk? Some of these tips seem like common sense solutions to getting a home to sell, but the true testament towards the effectiveness of these tips is in the number of offers received at full or greater value than asked, as well as how quickly the home resells. Both are important and something we strive to achieve at Homes By Devoe.
