Making your Main Floor Show Well

 

Where do buyers form the most lasting impression of a home for sale that they
visit? On the main floor!

When buyers view a property, they often spend a lot of time on the main floor,
thinking and imagining. They visualize cooking in the kitchen, having family
dinners in the dining room, and entertaining guests in the living room. They
even mentally calculate how their furniture will fit!

So, making the main floor look great to buyers is crucial when selling your
property. How do you do that?

An effective technique is to walk your main floor the way a buyer would. Start
at your front entrance. Stand there for a moment and look around. Get a sense
of the impression a buyer is likely to get from that perspective.

Next, walk to the kitchen area, because that’s where buyers often venture
next. Again, linger a while and look around. Does the kitchen look clean and
seem as spacious as possible (given its size)?

Finally, check out the other rooms on the main floor, including the washroom, if
there is one. Gauge how you feel and the impression you form as you visit
these spaces.

Once you’ve done that mock tour, write down ideas that jumped out at you for
improvements. Those may include uncluttering some areas, rearranging the
furniture, adding or taking away items, etc.

This is a simple but powerful technique for improving how your main floor
looks to buyers.
