The Story Your Fridge Tells

> The “Just Listed” Approach

There is no more of a tell-tale sign of the “Just Listed” approach than a home that was placed on the market with a refrigerator full of cherished photos, magnets, and artwork.

> Homes Sold for MORE™ Process

Everyone has “stuff” hanging on their refrigerator. It’s just what people do.

Homes Sold for MORE™ agents understand the first rule of preparing any property for sale: the way you live in a home and the way you sell a home are two different things.

Part of properly preparing any home for sale is to depersonalize and declutter! 

Anything cherished enough to be displayed on the refrigerator (including those valuable pizza delivery coupons) should be taken down while your home is on the market. Whether your home sale includes the appliances or not, anything on a refrigerator looks like clutter in real estate photos and in person.

Depersonalizing includes the removal of all your cherished family photos, especially those of all your favorite vacations or anything personal that will be eye-catching. We want the buyers that tour your home to focus on the house, not reminiscing about the time they visited Hawaii like you did.

People are curious creatures and we want them to be more curious about your home, not your belongings! 

The average buyer spends about 15 minutes in a home and much of that time can easily be spent viewing your important life moments. So, for the time being, no matter how flattering your high school graduation or vacation photos are, they need to be put away.

We offer many pre-planning ideas and services to get your home Sold for MORE™.
