Setting the Home Stage for a Profitable Sale of Your Fort Collins Real Estate

In today’s competitive Northern Colorado real estate market, it makes no difference if your property is located in Berthoud, Firestone, Fort Collins, Frederick, Greeley, Johnstown, Longmont, Loveland, Platteville, Wellington, or Windsor, it’s all about making your home truly stand out in the crowd. It’s a given your Fort Collins home must have great curb appeal.

Stop the Car – We Must See This Fort Collins House!

Getting a potential home buyer to the front door is a great start and if your home buyer has come this far, it’s an accomplishment – but you’re only half way there to possibly receiving an offer. That means the exterior of your Fort Collins home is immaculate with the lawn manicured, the shrubs trimmed, fresh mulch and flowers in the beds, and the front door the proud owner of a fresh coat of paint. From the curb, your Fort Collins home solicited a response that hopefully went something like this - “honey, stop the car, we must see this house!” But what about the interior of your Fort Collins or Loveland area home, is it “show ready”?

Beyond the Front Door

First impressions are everything in successfully marketing your Fort Collins property. Now that the buyer is ready to cross the threshold of your Fort Collins home it should be white-glove clean, free of clutter, de-personalized and properly staged. Before ever listing your Fort Collins home for sale, your Century 21 Humpal team agent will make sure it is show ready and staged for selling success! An expert Century 21 Humpal Fort Collins real estate agent will ensure:

• The flow from room to room, the manner in which the furniture is arranged and the space therein conveys an open, airy feel

• Evaluate and if needed, recommend adjusting window treatments to allow maximum natural light penetration

• Determine if the window treatment fabric is lite, and not bulky or heavy

• Make sure your Fort Collins home passes the “sniff test”. Is it free of odors?

• Determine if kitchen and bath counter top surfaces are clean and free of clutter

• Evaluate walls and shelves to determine if family portraits, personal heirlooms and collectibles are removed and stored- it's a great start to getting ready for your own move!
  

• Recommend that home accessories be as lean as possible, almost minimalistic!

• Advise when bold wall colors need to be repainted to a more neutral, buyer friendly color
