Want some great ideas for updating your home in the new year? Pantone’s 2020 Color of the Year – Classic Blue 
is a shade reminiscent of the sky at dusk. “It’s a color that anticipates what’s going to happen next,” said Laurie Pressman, the vice president of the Pantone Color Institute, which selects the Color of the Year. The cobalt blue hue is said to be associated with communication, introspection and clarity. Other benefits of the hue include aiding concentration and helping to recenter thoughts particularly in light of technology’s accelerating developments. “A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue encourages us to look beyond the obvious to expand our thinking; challenging us to think more deeply, increase our perspective and open the flow of communication,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of Pantone Color Institute. We are living in a time that requires trust and faith,” she added. “It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can always rely on.”

As a seasoned professional, I’m a huge fan of proper preparation and paying close attention to details so our big debut, the all important first day on market, makes a splash and generates results! Sellers often need reminding “how you live in a home, is not how you sell a home“. Staging is absolutely essential to selling property quickly and for top dollar. A Key point to remember is “you can never underestimate the value of a solid first impression”.
Decluttering, de-personalizing and thoroughly cleaning is an essential start; however this is only part of the preparation. Appealing to today’s buyers with updated paint, stylish fixtures, hardware, and well-placed furnishings (including removing excess furnishings) create an emotional connection that evokes the calming feeling of a fresh clean start. Buyers appreciate a well-cared for home that exudes warmth and welcome, and naturally want to envision themselves living there. It’s a proven statistic from the National Association of Realtors that homes that are well positioned for marketing with professional staging sell faster and for more money than other homes. It’s also a known fact that the time or cost associated with staging is always less than the first price reduction!

Smart Sellers preparing their home to go on market should take a few extra steps that pay off nicely in the long run.

Following this smart to-do list in the beginning will avoid some basic problems that might otherwise affect a clean inspection report.
Not only does this help with the inspection process, proper preparation helps the home show well to prospective buyers and makes a great impression with the showing agent as well!
