Kate was trying to find a way to make her home more sellable. It had been on the market for six months now and she had a several people look at the house but so far there had not even been one offer. She had to do something different to make her house stand out from the other homes on the market.
Kate and her realtor took a walk though her house together and talked about some of the changes that she could make to help make her home more sellable. They talked about what buyers in the market were really looking for in a home her size. There were a few improvements that Kate could make on her own and the major one was to get her home clean and organized so that buyers could see the potential of the space and not just the clutter.
In between picking out neutral paint colors Kate managed to rent a Downsview, Ontario self storage unit. She went on a mad cleaning and organizing spree to clear out her house. Armed with a just stack of boxes, packing tape, a permanent marker, and some bubble wrap she went to town clearing out her house of everything that was absolutely not needed. She didn’t leave the spaces empty but she worked hard to stage the house as clean and streamlined.
Once the boxes and stuff was cleaned out and moved over to her Downsview self storage unit Kate got to work on painting the guest room a nice neutral color and cleaning out every nook and cranny that there was in her house.
Her realtor came by when Kate was all done with the sprucing up. She was shocked at what a big difference using the Downsview storage facility had made in really showing off the sizes of the rooms and making the house appear well maintained and organized. She even said that she was going to mention what a big difference it made to some of her other clients who were also in the process of staging their homes for sale.
Kate was going to have an open house this weekend and she was hoping that will all the changes that she had made to the house and with all of the cleaning that she had done that there was going to be a buyer out there who would see the great potential in her house.
There were several couples who came to the open house and now Kate just had to wait and see if anything would come of it. the one positive out of all of this was that she already had the majority of her packing done and all of the boxes were labeled and waiting in the Downsview storage unit for the sale to go through.
When Kate got the first offer she was excited about the possibility of having a buyer for the home. She remembered the couple who put in the offer and how much they really loved her house. The negotiations about price and closing costs went off with just a few back and fourths and in the end the deal was done. Kate had sold her house and she was ready to move on to bigger and better things. Now she just had to get started on packing up the rest of her stuff.
