Renovating before Selling?


A common question I get is whether or not to renovate prior to listing your home. This question is best answered at an in home appointment where we can go over the plans you are considering and also the comparable sales in your area. Considering other sold property and their level of updates will play a role in making the decision on your property.

Whether or not to renovate before selling depends on the timeline, financial ability and also the desired outcome. We can dive more into that at an appointment in your home.

This before photo was taken during the Pre- RENO consultation where I discussed with the Investors what would be a good course of action. As it turns out they were already thinking of knocking out this wall but questioned whether or not it would be worth it. I told them YES!! We don’t always knock out walls, so don’t panic! In this case, we chose to open the wall because of the stunning River Valley view. It paid off.

I also helped them choose their paint, flooring, back splash, fixtures and did the Staging for them.

The result? The first open house 4 days later resulted in a PENDING OFFER. Even though the AFETR picture is blurry, you can see the difference!

Some sellers are not 100% sure if they should take that on…I am here to help. Not only do I offer a Pre-RENO consult, I also offer options to have the work completed for you, manage the contractors and handle the details from start to finish!

Home Staging Helps Real Estate Investors and Builders Maximize Profits


When selling your investment property, are you tempted to leave the house empty? Decorating your house to sell, also called “home staging” will help you sell your investment in record time and get top dollar for your home.

What the Experts Say

According to home staging expert Debra Gould, investors who are preparing to sell shouldn’t skimp on furnishings and accessories in an attempt to save money. “When you’ve gone through expensive renovations, suffered with delays or extended beyond your budget, it’s difficult to stay motivated to the bitter end,” says Gould. “It can be tempting to say, ‘It’s good enough. The paint’s dry. Let’s put it on the market as is!’  This is shortsighted and can cost you a bundle! It’s relatively inexpensive to rent anything you need, and these finishing touches help ensure that you make the profit you deserve for all those costly renovations and repairs.”

Imagine it’s the Academy Awards. A big star is planning to wear a fabulous designer gown, so she decides she doesn’t really need to get her hair done. Does everyone talk about the fabulous gown? Of course not. All they can remember is the terrible hair!

Or imagine a fine painting that’s been placed in a frame from the dollar store. Does the painting have the same appeal as it would if it had been framed by a professional? Conversely, have you ever taken one of your child’s paintings and had it framed? What a difference it makes compared to how it looks when it’s stuck to the fridge with a magnet.

Five Reasons It’s a Bad Idea to Leave Rooms Empty When Showing Your House

  1. People don’t buy houses; they buy homes.

  1. It is difficult to understand how large a room is when there’s nothing in it to use as a reference point.

  1. People can’t visualize how furniture will fit in an empty space, and if they’re unsure, they don’t buy.

  1. When a room is empty, prospective buyers focus on negative details instead of falling in love with the overall space. Rather than looking at the flow of one room to another, prospective buyers get bogged down in questions like: Is the drywall smooth? Will those bumps in the carpet come out? Why is the light switch in the middle of  the wall?

  1. When a house or even a few rooms are empty, prospective buyers may become distracted from the house itself and shift their focus to the homeowners. Instead of focusing on whether this is the home for them, they may be busy wondering: Is this couple getting a divorce? Has the family left town? Are they selling because they have money problems? This train of thought can then prompt buyers to begin thinking, “Maybe I can put in a low-ball offer since the seller might be desperate.” Definitely not the picture you are trying to paint!

Home staging is about packaging a home to show off its best features and downplay the flaws. You romance the buyer and entice them into making an emotional connection with your house. So, bring in some furnishings and accessories to add character and warmth to the home. Taking the time for these final details will ultimately translate into a higher return on your investment.

Beautiful Basements

Basements CAN Make or Break a Sale

Creating a basement space that appeals to the buyers can be difficult if the basement is unfinished. It sends the wrong message. A basement is part of  living space and it does play an important role in the decision of a buyer to make an offer. The fact is the basement CAN make or break a sale.

What do you do if your basement is not picture perfect? Well, you get to work.

Where do you Start?

  • Do a deep clean of the basement. Every nook and cranny. If you don’t want to touch it, neither will a buyer!! Basement and laundry areas should be dry, clean, bright, neat and tidy

  • All cobwebs, dead bugs removed

  • Kitty litter cleaned daily

  • Furnace filters replaced

  • Furnace, hot water tank and appliances washed down and squeaky clean

  • All window wells, cleaned off, curtains or coverings removed and the wells cleaned

  • Windows coverings should come off to allow the light to get in

  • Update fixtures or wash existing ones and use the brightest bulbs allowed

  • Fresh paint on walls and floors if there is no carpeting

  • Get a de-humidifier if the basement smells like pets or is musty

  • Wash all drains and bathrooms well

  • Clean out the dryer vent and vacuum behind the washer/ dryer and freezer

  • Replace or remove torn flooring

  • Use bright bulbs (incandescent/ Yellow not White/ Cool light) and make sure all switches are working and wash off fingerprints

  • Add shelves to the laundry area

  • Take out all empty laundry boxes, and misc. socks that lost their mate, garbage, old brooms etc.

  • Spruce up the look of the basement floor, by cleaning it with TSP™ and paint it.

  • Move appliances out to prep for painting.

  • Consult the local paint store to get advice on  products needed to complete this task.

  • Great floor colors are grey, beige, white or tan.

  • And add a stylish runner in the walking path areas.

  • Create a laundry room space that says “Hey I love my laundry room!”

  • Laundry rooms can be more inviting by adding a rug to the washer and dryer area, a lamp or plant, or by creating a place to fold laundry

  • Stair handrails should be secure

  • Air out the basement

  • Stay away from products like bleach or strong solvents to clean, as the smell will be filtered through the whole house through the furnace

  • Make sure any water issues are solved, not just covered up

  • Clean all baseboards and tops of door jams

  • Tackle all closets and under the stairs with the full de-clutter plan

  • Remove all extras from the storage areas. Show off how much room there is. Keep only the essentials in these areas. This is not where you put all the de-clutter items from upstairs.

Anything to spruce up the rooms will add value. Beautiful basements are often forgotten in the whole staging process, yet they can really outshine your competitor’s home!

Do You Need A Real Estate Agent to Sell?

Selling your property on your own may seem like it makes financial sense, but it may cost you more. Real Estate Agents are trained to know the ins and outs of the market. Their job is to watch out for issues and protect you. With their network of resources at their fingertips, it only benefits you.

Days On Market (DOM) always fluctuates over the years. Currently as of Sept 2022, it’s now 73.  To make matters worse, the DOM for selling it yourself can be much longer. Exposure through the public REALTOR.ca  system is KEY to getting you an advantage over the DOM and put you in front of your potential buyer’s eyes. Agents will get more buyers in your home than you can by yourself.

“Let them make us an offer…”

When pricing, every home seller mistakenly thinks they “should try it higher for a while”.  The reason this does not work is that the initial buying activity is in the first 21 days. If your home is priced too high, buyers will view it and compare your home to the others. Invariably you are assisting those properties to sell faster, while yours sits.

“Let them make us an offer… ”

It does not work this way. But if they did write it would most likely be less than what you would take. Plus negotiating with a stranger when your vested interest is to sell can be difficult to do without a buffer of an Agent.  Some buyers will push quite a bit and it can be uncomfortable to deal with directly.

Why am I sharing this with you?

As a licensed real estate agent, with One Percent Realty, I want to educate my clients. Making the most money possible for you, is my passion! Save on Commissions  with me AND Save on Staging.

Pricing for Success

Real Estate Agents are doing their best to correctly price your home but cannot control the economy or market conditions. It is important that you hire an Agent that keeps you updated weekly on the activity to your listing, including views online and also the “in person” showings. Agents can also offer feedback to you from the showings, if they are able to obtain it from the buyer’s Agent. This will give you a window of insight into what people really think of your home and also allow you to be able to adjust pricing or correct issues that may come up frequently.  You will be chasing the market if you are overpriced.

Price competitively and at market value allows you to be in the drivers’ seat from day one. It is VITAL that you stay within your range and watch the market conditions. Stay ahead of the game. When reviewing the comparable sales, there is no room for sentiment, keep in mind this is now a product for sale.

Home Staging will not sell an Overpriced Listing

I hear it a lot. People often think that staging their property will allow the price to be jacked up. This is not true at all and if anyone tells you this, it may be best to keep interviewing. No matter how appealing your home looks, the buyer’s budget and comparable SOLD homes is where a buyer starts at. The sales of comparable homes are the baseline for where they think you should be priced at, especially if they did see those homes and know what condition they were in.

So Price right! Stage it before showings start, and hire a Professional Real Estate Agent that can properly market it for you.

How Do You Find an Agent that Suits You and will be a Good Fit?

Personality and feeling a connection are important aspects to working together, as this is a long term relationship. When you meet with an Agent, consider how you feel around them, as well as whether or not they present the information to you from a clearly educated and thoughtful place. The stats on recently sold property and your active competition are readily available to us all, however someone with a good understanding of how it affects you, is the key to success.

The market fluctuates and changes from month to month, so hiring someone that has a strong understanding of this will help. They should also be able to confidently represent themselves, as they will be representing and negotiating for you.

Also, one thing to really consider is the highest bidder on pricing is usually not the best choice for the reasons stated above. Choosing an Agent based on the highest listing price only, could result in a long time on the market with many price reductions. Pricing involves many factors.

My market evaluation will help you see where your home falls in the list, resulting in an informed decision.

I would be happy to chat with you if you are looking for an Agent who offers all of this as well as large commission savings.
