How to Get Every Dollar You Deserve... by Getting the Full Value of Your Hollywood Florida House!

The ability to reap additional profits on the sale of your home in Hollywood Florida can be accomplished easily enough if you make the right improvements. Many changes can provide the prospective buyer with enhanced feelings about your home, feelings of more space, more light, more rooms, more closet space, greater privacy, warmth and security.

Basic, simple and inexpensive improvements can provide an improved emotional response in a potential Hollywood Florida buyer.

An example could be something as small as a crack in the paint on a wall. Simply by applying some plaster and touch up paint, you eliminated what may be an unstated concern that your home in Hollywood Florida was poorly maintained.

Though the feeling may be unconscious, it’s just as important that the potential buyer feel an overall desire for your home.

If you are working with a small budget these simple techniques will work absolute wonders:

The Magic of Mirrors!-Mirrors can provide a greater sense of space and elegance when properly placed. Be careful not to overdo it, but when placed properly throughout your home, each area will seem larger to the potential home buyer.

Try looking in your attic or basement for any old mirrors, but be sure they have a nice frame or at least give the frame a new coat of paint. You may also want to visit a local flea market or garage sale; you can almost always get a great deal on an old mirror or two.

Putting one foot square mirrors on a closet door in the master bedroom is always an attractive touch.

Adding Additional Closet Space-One of the biggest complaints heard from potential buyers in Hollywood Florida is that there just isn’t enough closet space! Simply purchasing an inexpensive closet organizer and installing it in any or all of your closets can make all the difference.

You can also try putting a rod across one corner of a bedroom for hanging clothes. Also you could try hanging a screen made from a variety of materials. The screen could match the material of the bedspread, drapes etc. The idea here is to be creative so that the "fake closet" looks as though it was a part of the room.

Make a Bare Wall Beautiful-Wallpaper is inexpensive, quick and easy to do! The right wallpaper can brighten the room or hallway and bring it back to life. Be careful to choose something with a neutral design or pattern. Remember, you’re trying to move out.

Bring Old Floors Back to Life!-Nothing turns off a potential buyer quicker than dull, dingy, disgusting looking floors. Whether you have wax, wooden or tiled floors, do whatever you can to make them shine again! For wax floors, either rent a floor machine and do it yourself, or if it’s in your budget, hire a professional.

Have a professional give you an estimate and explain exactly what they would do to bring your floors back to life. If you have them explain what they would do, it may be just as easy to do it yourself.

If you have carpeted floors, you should either have the carpet steam cleaned or install new carpeting. This may sound expensive but new carpeting can add thousands of dollars to the value of your home.

Add Attractive Plants-Having plants in the house is not only healthy for you but you create a warm feeling with them. Many indoor plants are far less expensive than you might imagine.

Attractive pots such as ceramic, brass or even designer plastic will add a designer flair to your home. Hanging plants such as Boston ferns are inexpensive, easy to care for and would go great in your new home whenever you move.

Adding a Room Without Calling in the Contractor!-This simple but seldom used technique, can give a buyer the feeling there are more actual rooms in your house. Floor to ceiling room dividers are inexpensive and simple to install.

When a buyer walks through your home in Hollywood Florida, they will generally count the rooms in a subconscious manner. Each room will present an emotional response as they walk through your home.

By dividing and designing each side of your room, you create a "separate room" feeling in the potential buyer. It may sound crazy, but it works!

Clean Up the Bathroom-We’ve probably all heard that phrase a hundred times growing up! Well, guess what? It’s still valid. Give your bathroom a face-lift if needed; fresh paint, decorative moldings, tile grout, new designer faucets are all attractive eye catchers.

What is That Smell?-Though people don’t like to admit it, everyone's home has a certain smell to it. We just never notice it because we live with it day in, day out. Strategically placing fresh scent devices throughout the home will be pleasant to the nose of any potential buyer.

As a matter of fact, an old Realtor trick is to pop some cinnamon rolls in an oven 5 minutes before a showing. I bet you thought all Realtors just had a sweet-tooth!

Learn How to Stage Your Hollywood Florida Home to Sell: Tips from Sue Weaver at Coral Shores Realty

If you are ready to sell, every buyer that enters should get the full experience of your home. After all, you have to convince them to buy your home over every other Hollywood Florida home they look at. So how do you do that? You do it by making your home stand out in their mind.

Everyone knows about curb appeal so we'll assume that you take great care in maintaining your lawn. But when they enter the front door, then what? First, what will they smell? Yes, if there is an overwhelming odor that takes their attention when they come in, your first impression is shot. They will be distracted the whole time they are in the home. On the other hand, you don't want them gagging from the smell of industrial cleaners either. A good rule of thumb is to light a scented candle a half hour before their arrival and blow it out right before they get there.

Check bedrooms for clutter and disarray. Clothes should be put up and beds made. Make sure everything is dusted and all personal items are safely tucked away. Also, anything that is left out should be in good taste. You may have little ones or someone's grandmother coming through.

Bathrooms should especially be clean. Shower curtains should be open to give the full size of the room. Clean mirrors and make sure all drains are working properly.,

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms. Since a lot of time is spent here a lot of time should be devoted to prepping it. Make sure counters are cleaned off of anything unnecessary. If you do not use it on a regular basis put it out of sight. People want to see how much counter space they have to work with. Clean everything off of and out of the frig. You don't need any distractions here, either.

When you feel comfortable that you are ready to show, have a neighbor come through posing as a buyer. Have them give their honest opinion on every room. This outside voice will give you a dry run for the real thing. Better to discover something you overlooked now than when a viable buyer is looking.

The Top Five Aesthetic Mistakes Sellers in Hollywood Florida Make when Selling Their Home, by Sue Weaver, expert real estate agent.

Aesthetics will be a major role in a positive sale. Buying a home is often an emotional decision. Aesthetics have a powerful ability to affect emotions. This article covers a few of the biggest errors in terms of appearance that sellers in the Hollywood Florida real estate area these errors can be easily avoided and help your home sell for a higher price.

Lighting is crucial when showing your house to a buyer.

Mistake #1 - Poor Lighting Any time your house is bright and sunny it will be much more appealing to potential buyers. A dark house seems dark and gloomy.

Pull back all the curtains after opening all the windows. Adding some extra lighting to a house will help if it has poor natural light.

2nd error - Neglecting Fragrance

The subtle scent of your home plays a large role in the purchaser's attitude. You should not have any unpleasant or foul odors in your home.

No buyer will want to have to deal with any type of bad smells that exist in your house when they tour it. Utilizing air deodorizers could make a big difference prior to exhibiting the home.

It is also important to remember to pay attention to your home's exterior as well as its interior. On the exterior, both the paint and yard play an important factor in the buyer's decision making process.

Your buyer will get a first impression from viewing the exterior of your home.

Mistake #4 - Strange Colors

Perhaps you have a teenager who's painted his walls orange. Perhaps pink appeals to you or matches with your paintings. While you may like the color scheme in your home it may be a big turn off for a potential buyer.

Why assume the chance? Make sure all the walls are painted a neutral color,before showing your house.

Spray WD-40 on any squeaking hinges.

Mistake #5 - Not Making Obvious Repairs Make sure to have any necessary repairs made to major utility equipment. In the event that kitchen cupboards or counters are marred or outdated, replacing them is likely to be needed.

Tiles must be scraped of all grime. Most often it's a good idea to get rid of old windows with new ones.

Hollywood Florida Real Estate Agent [Sue Weaver Explains What Home Sellers Need to Ask Any Real Estate Agent Before Listing Their Home

Hollywood Florida Real Estate Agent [Sue Weaver Explains What Home Sellers Need to Ask Any Real Estate Agent Before Listing Their Home

Choosing the right real estate agent to help you with the sale of your home in Hollywood Florida can seem like a very challenging task. There are thousands of real estate agents in Hollywood Florida, so finding the perfect one that will do the job right for you might seem impossible. However, there are some questions that you should ask any local real estate agent before signing on the dotted line to list your property.

First of all, you want to know what the agent's experience level is. However, you should not take this to mean that a new agent wouldn't do a fabulous job for you. What you are looking for is someone who will be honest with you and tell you exactly what level of experience they have. In the end, however, what really matters is how motivated they are to get your home sold. This leads us to the second thing you need to ask.

An agent needs to provide you with a documented, detailed marketing plan that they will use to sell your property. As the market has been quite challenging recently, it is important that an agent is not flying by the seat of their pants when it comes to marketing your home. They need to have a set plan of action that will give your house the greatest chance of selling quickly and for the most money. A good agent will have no problem going over with you the details of their marketing plan.

Something else that you need to ask your agent is what your home is truly worth in the current condition, in the current market. Sometimes homeowners get a little bit offended if an agent prices their home lower than what they would believe it to be. However, you must sometimes defer to the experience of the real estate agent because they are out in the market place each day. Of course, if you think that their numbers are way off base, you should certainly ask them to show proof of why they believe your home is worth what they are saying.

The Top 5 Ambiance Blunders Sellers in Hollywood Florida Make when Selling Their Home, by Sue Weaver, expert real estate agent.

Aesthetics play a huge part in a successful sale. A large part of a buyer's decision to buy a house is based on emotions. Appearances possess a strong capacity to impact feelings. We'll go over some of the top aesthetic mistakes sellers in the,in this article. Hollywood Florida Use this so you can avoid making these mistakes and get a higher price when you sell your house.

A common mistake which makes your home less attractive is the type of lighting that a buyer will see it in. Any time your house is bright and sunny it will be much more appealing to potential buyers. Dark and gloomy,a dark house seems.

Make sure the windows are open and the curtains are pulled back. Get some extra lights in the house to help with the lighting,if the house is naturally poorly lit.

Another common detriment to the sale of your home is how it smells when a potential buyer visits. You should not have any unpleasant or foul odors in your home.

To inherit the seller's odors is the last thing a buyer wants. Use of some air fresheners prior to showing the house can work wonders.

Mistake #3 - Poor Exterior First Impression

The inside of your house is not the only place you should pay attention to. The exterior, including the paint and the front yard, both play an important factor in the buyer's decision making process.

Keep in mind, the outside provides homebuyers with their initial image of the home.

Another frequent error made is having rooms painted unappealing and strange colors, such as, orange. Perhaps pink appeals to you or matches with your paintings. However, for the buyer the colors may or may not suit them.

Apply WD-40 lubricant to stop hinges from being squeaky. If you are having issues with major utilities be sure to have those problems resolved first. If any of the kitchen cabinets or counter tops are chipped or look old, they should probably be replaced.

How to Get Every Dollar You Deserve... by Getting the Full Value of Your Hollywood FL House!

3 Important Factors Most Real Estate Agents Overlook when Staging a Property in Hollywood FL, By Experienced Agent Susan Weaver

Staging a home is a detailed and intricate process. Youíre going through the process of making your home as nice as possible to get the highest price possible. When it comes to staging, there are many things most real estate agents to right. However, based on my years of experience in the Hollywood Florida market, Iíve found that most agents tend to leave out these three important factors.

Factor #1 ñ Scent

Scent plays a big part in staging a home. Remember that a home purchase is an emotional decision. The sense of smell plays a big part in influencing oneís emotions.

Having any odors, stale air, muskiness or strange smells will kill your chances of making the sale. Itís absolutely critical that your house smell at least neutral, if not good.

There are many ways to change the scent of your house. You could burn incense an hour before showing the house. You could install some air fresheners. You could even use essential oils that are used in aromatherapy to truly create a luxurious feel.

Factor #2 ñ Lighting

Lighting is another very important factor that many agents overlook. The lighting in the house literally colors everything else. A house that appears bright will feel vibrant, happy and alive to the buyer. A house thatís dim will feel gloomy, dark and dead.

Natural lighting is the optimal source of lighting. If you canít get natural lighting to work or to be well lit enough, the get some artistic indoor lighting. Avoid hard lights and avoid fluorescent lights.

Factor #3 ñ Furnishing

Itís very common for agents to show an empty house. While this does create a clean and open look, the reality is that most people donít have a very strong ability to imagine what a house will look like with furnishing.

Itís important to have good furnishing in the house when youíre staging it so that the buyer can really get a feel for what the house will feel like when itís furnished. Pick just a few key pieces to help the buyer do that.

Expert Real Estate Agent Susan Weaver Reveals the Number One "Trigger" to Quickly Get a Buyer to Make an Offer on Your House in Hollywood FL

What is it exactly that sells a house? Is it the price? Is it design? Is it the kitchen, bedroom, or the bathroom? In reality, it's none of these. What really sells a house are the buyer's emotions. In order to sell your house quickly, it's very important to learn to trigger your buyer's emotions. Based on years of experience in the Hollywood Florida real estate market, here I'll share with you some of the best ways I know to get an emotional response from a buyer.

Appealing to Emotions - The First Impression

The first impression of your house will most likely be the most powerful impression you'll make on your buyer.

The first impression isn't a conscious, rational decision. When a buyer first sets eyes on your house or sets foot in your house, your buyer will immediately have a reaction. That reaction could be a "Wow!" reaction, or a "There's nothing special here" reaction.

To get that "Wow!" impression, it's important to create the best impression possible.

Creating the Best First Impression

Your front yard, the exterior of your house and what your buyer first sees when he/she enters your house is crucial.

Imagine if your front yard was poorly kept. What would the buyer think? Naturally, the buyer would assume the rest of the house was kept equally poorly. Likewise, if the front yard is kept spectacularly, they would assume the same about the interior.

Again, this usually isn't a conscious process. Your buy will just make an immediate, emotional decision instead.

Inside the House

Needless to say, once your buyer is inside everything should be in spectacular condition. The tiles should be clean, the house should be well lit and anything that needs to be repaired should be repaired.

It also helps a lot to have a focal point. For example, an unusually beautiful ceiling. Or perhaps an amazing balcony. If there isn't naturally a focal point, you could drastically increase your chances of a sale by creating one.

Staging your house is the process of making it as appealing to your buyers as possible. When a buyer steps into your house, you want them to have an instantaneous “Yes!” reaction.
To do this, make sure your house is in tip top condition. Your carpets, walls, appliances, bathroom and kitchen tiles all look crystal clean. The air is well ventilated or lightly scented. The rooms are well lit.
Working With a Real Estate Agent
Work diligently with a real estate agent to ensure that you can sell your house as quickly as possible. Talk to your real estate agent about possible venues of marketing and come up with as many ways to get your house in and off the market as possible.
Remember that in the long run, working with a real estate agent will generally save you money. According to Consumer Reports, homes sold through a real estate agent sell for higher prices and stay on the market for less time.
If you don’t already have an agent you’re working with who can help you sell your house quickly, feel free to give me a call at or send me an email at Sue@SueWeaver.com to discuss how we can help get your house sold as quickly as possible.

Susan Weaver's Tips to Getting Any House in Hollywood FL to Sell Quickly

Houses sometimes fly off the market in just weeks. Other times they sit there for months. What is it that makes the difference? In this article, I'll reveal several tips to help you sell your house quickly, based on years of experience in the Hollywood Florida area.

Tip #1 - Have a Price in Mind

To sell a house in Hollywood Florida quickly, sometimes you may have to accept a lower offer. The time vs price dilemma is an old one indeed.

How willing are you to sacrifice a high buy price for a fast sale? Before you embark on selling your house, you should have a good idea of what price you will and won't accept.

Tip #2 - Get a Home Inspection

Most buyers will request a home inspection anyway. If you're going for the fast sale, it'll speed things up quite a bit to have a home inspection in hand already.

Tip #3 - Have great staging

Staging is the process of making your house look as appealing as possible. This includes steam cleaning all the carpets, wiping down the floors, scraping the tiles and so on.

When the buyer walks in, their first impression should be that your house is sparkling clean. If a house is clean, you're presenting the house as something that's worth a lot of money. If the house is dirty, you're presenting the house as something that can be bargained for.

Tip #4 - Good Marketing

It's important to get as many potential buyers into your house as possible. This means you must have great marketing.

A good real estate agent will know how to market a home in Hollywood Florida because they've done it many times before. Your agent should be utilizing a range of effective tactics to ensure your house gets sold as quickly as possible.
