Top Weekend Projects to Improve Your Travelers Rest Real Estate – Tip Number 2

We are now in to Weekend Number 2 on our count down of the Top 10 fixes for your South Carolina real estate that will increase it’s value. Our next tip deals with how to take your Travelers Rest Home‘s Curb Appeal to the next level.

A very quick and simple way to get more buyers to come over to your property that is listed on the market is by sprucing up just how they see the home from the street. This is the first glimpse of the Greenville Luxury home for sale and we want to make sure that this will be a nice enticement for them to come inside and take a look around. You can easily spend an entire weekend cleaning the interior and exterior, replacing the old worn out mailbox, putting up new eye catching and modern street numbers that match the way you want your home to be perceived, cleaning out those dreaded storm gutters, shining up the windows or ever painting any exterior paneling that may need an extra coat or some touch up. What you ideally want people to say from the get go is “Isn’t that a cute looking home?”

Go outside right now and look at exactly how your landscaping is set up. See what you can do to trim up any unwanted shrubbery around your yard, mow the grass, edge the side of the yard, plant some new spring colored flowers. In other words, presentation is key. Your Travelers Rest real estate is really like a painting. We want to entice the viewer to stare at the painting long enough to want to know even more about it. Now obviously the outside must match the inside in order to obtain the sale, but that is for another Spring Cleaning weekend.

If you are looking at the grass and see a few “bald spots”, do not be afraid to plant a few shrubs. A potted plant at the door is quite elegant and pleasing to the eye, or flowers lined up the sidewalk to the entrance are always a nice luxurious touch. Of course, to get rid of all of the dirt and grime from living in your Travelers Rest real estate, power wash the sidewalk to make the home look brand new.

The sole purpose of this weekend project is to get the buyers to come inside for a further look around what you have to offer. Every South Carolina home for sale will be on the market with a sign in the yard, on the internet and available for open houses, but we want the buyer to see the home and say that they want to see more. Entice them to take a step inside and see for themselves what they should expect from the interior.

For more helpful tips on how to get your Travelers Rest Real Estate ready for listing this Spring and Summer, visit Carolina Mountain Real Estate. We can help you set up your property to allow for the most amount of buyers to coming knocking on your door!

Hoarding Is A Hot Topic With Travelers Rest Luxury Real Estate Owners

We have constantly stood by our word that staging will help sell any Travelers Rest Real Estate. In the case of a home owner hoarding a lot of items/ stuff though, staging may not be able to help sell this home that much faster. With hoarding shows all over the television, you can only imagine what else has been seen through out our career as a coveted Travelers Rest Luxury real estate team. As much as it pains us to say though, hoarding can actually diminish the price of the home as many potential buyers may pass over your real estate due to lack of cleanliness, smell, unpleasant sights and much more. When you present your Travelers Rest Luxury real estate, you are basically putting up your prized and cherished piece of property for another owner to take as great of care as you have. With these issues though, there are plenty of ways that we can fix the South Carolina Luxury real estate before and while it hits the market in order to get the most bang for the listing.

1). Get Support

A supportive family member, friend or neighbor that is willing to assist in moving out some of the extra items in the home can make or break the transaction. More than likely what the Greenville real estate seller is going through has been a lifelong addiction and they may not be to willing to part with particular items. In order for the home to be shown though, they definitely will need to come up with some solution, long or short term.

2). Practice Patience

We can almost guess that this new hoarding did not become an over night issue. Most of these individuals have dealt with this for a long time as we stated in the Get Support section. Patience will be a critical necessity in order to work through everything. To get their Travelers Rest Luxury home for sale up to par, it must look immaculate and that could take time.

3). Provide Resources for Help

Connecting with a potential local person or business that can help in this situation may be the best bet if a family member is unavailable to work through these hoarding problems. Of course make sure that everyone is on the same page when moving the items out as you do not want anything to occur to the staging of the Travelers Rest Luxury real estate.

4). Sign a Long Term Listing Contract

More than likely you will be doing more work than necessary for this particular listing. Since this home is a rare case, be sure that the contract is signed and agreed upon before beginning. This may take a little bit of time before you can list it on the MLS and we want to make sure that the home is in tip top shape before we do.

5). Contact An Agent Specializing in this type of Real Estate

Some agents are known for working with hoarding type sellers. Since this is normally not the circumstance, most real estate agents may not know what to do in this instance. Working with a specialist who has dealt with these before may be the best way to move about this situation. Travelers Rest Luxury real estate that is cluttered from hoarding should be taken slowly with the end goal of staging this property for further showing.

Of course, we all know that hoarding can be a hard habit to break. With time and patience though, the Travelers Rest Luxury real estate can look good as new for potential buyers, open houses and one on one showings. Take the time to clear the home and watch how fast it leaves the market.

Top Ten Best Places to Retire

 Top Ten Best Places to Retire

Greenville SC

36 million Americans will turn 65 within the next decade.  Future retirees are looking for a great place to live that also offers great value.  Such terms are relative but for most of us climate and economics will have a great impact on our decision.

According to a report recently published by AARP, Greenville SC is ranked 4th among the top ten best places to retire in the United States. Why? Because its location in the northwest corner of the state offers a temperate climate where you can live comfortably yet inexpensively. Entertainment, dining, and shopping are all easily accessible.

Note some facts about Greenville:

  • Greenville County Population: 467,605

  • City of Greenville Population: 61,188

  • Median Home Price Range: $127,600

  • Median Mortgage Payment: $487

  • Median Property Tax: $753 

 

  • Average annual temp: 60 F

  • Average rainfall: 49 inches

  • Average annual snowfall: <6 inches

  • Average monthly maximum temp: 71 F

  • Average monthly minimum temp: 50 F

Come and find out why Greenville SC is a great place to live!

Top Weekend Projects to Improve Your Travelers Rest Home – Tip Number 1

Looking to spruce up your Spring curb appeal this upcoming season? Here is another great tip to add a little extra to your homes value when the selling rush occurs this spring and summer!

Patch and Paint

When you are looking at easy weekend fixes to work with, putting in a nice fresh coat of paint in your home can do wonders to your overall property value. The living room, kitchen and master bedroom have been noted as the top rooms that will have a very high return on investment when you look to tweak your home decor. Paint is usually one of the cheapest and most cost effective solutions you can do to add a little extra value to your Travelers Rest real estate.

One thing to stay away from when painting though are bright colors. Neutral colors such as off-white, mushroom, brown or taupe are the top reselling features to update. In contrast to light colors, you will also want to steer clear of dark paint for your South Carolina Luxury Home as it will make the room look smaller.

Need a few more tips to make sure your South Carolina Real Estate looks perfect for when you list it? Here are some Don’ts from the experts on painting the home:

  • Don’t try your luck experimenting with an accent wall in your home. Most individuals will actually get the combination wrong and make the painted wall even worse than originally.
  • Don’t go over board with choosing colors for your property. Going between four to five colors in your home could turn out to be detrimental for your Travelers Rest home. Stick with one to two that will flow nicely from room to room
  • Don’t leave up the wallpaper borders whenever you are trying to paint. The time for wallpaper has come and gone. The new paint will bring you in to the new era of home decor and will increase your value immensely.
  • Don’t hang up all of the family portraits and art decor on the wall to over take the newly painted interior. Let your hard work stand out and let the potential home buyers see exactly what they will be getting.

If you are looking for an easy weekend job, then painting a room or two in your Travelers Rest real estate is the easiest item to do that will reap the most benefits possible. Take our advice and get working on this weekend project before you list the property for sale this Spring or Summer!

Travelers Rest Real Estate Sees New Top Buying Profession

Traveler's Rest Real Estate

Listed above are the percentages of real estate owners in the United States. When you look at these statistics, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Are these your top nine owners as well? In the Travelers Rest Real Estate Market we have seen a mixture of every profession look to move in to our area and find their dream home. From The Cliff’s Luxury Homes to more modest real estate accommodations in Greenville and Greer, we have a place for every profession in our neck of the United States.

What does shock us from this picture is that the Travelers Rest Real Estate Agent is not listed as number one, whereas the farmers and ranchers are listed higher than the professionals selling properties. When you even look at the percentage of real estate agents compared to the third place category, we are only .9% above postal workers. Although this does seem a little strange to us, the good part is that other South Carolina real estate owners are spread around every profession. With the market rising almost daily it is great to see everyone coming back to a traditional American cornerstone.

If you are looking at buying or selling your Travelers Rest real estate, then feel free to contact the Carolina Mountain Real Estate experts. We have multiple listing and buying agents on staff that can help you determine your exact needs to see just what will fit your dream home.
