Today, we'll offer advice on preparing your home for sale during a market shift. While the number of homes on the market decreases, it can take quite some time to sell your property. That's why we employ the 3P2F marketing technique.

The 3 Ps stand for plants, paint, and pictures. Plants add curb appeal. Make sure the trees and the bushes are trimmed and the grass is cut. You never have a second chance at a first impression, so you need to pay attention to your curb appeal. As for paint, make updates to both the interior and exterior of your home. Painting is the most cost effective way to transform a space. The third P stands for pictures. Go through your home and remove any personal photographs from the walls or shelves. Intimate family portraits can distract prospective buyers from the house itself.

The 2 Fs stand for fixtures and furnishings. If you have an older home, you may have a gold finish on doorknobs or light fixtures. Brushing up on old fixtures will transform and modernize your home. When it comes to furniture, be sure your home is staged properly. Organize some pieces in storage and rearrange others to maximize space within your home.

Our 3P2F marketing technique will help sell your home anytime, even in a shifting market. If you have any questions for us, please give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help you!
