Make Your Home Stand Out

Thinking about selling your home? In today’s competitive real estate market, making your home stand out is more important than ever. Buyers have choices, and first impressions count. At The Good Home Team, we’re here to help you get top dollar—and sell faster—by making sure your home is truly irresistible to buyers.

Here are our top tips to help your home shine:


1️⃣ Boost Curb Appeal

The first thing buyers see is the exterior. Make it count!

✅ Freshen up landscaping with trimmed hedges, colorful flowers, and a well-manicured lawn.
✅ Power wash siding and walkways.
✅ Paint the front door a welcoming color.
✅ Add tasteful outdoor lighting.

Curb appeal isn’t just about looks—it signals to buyers that the home has been well cared for.


2️⃣ Declutter and Depersonalize

Buyers want to imagine their life in your home.

✅ Remove excess furniture to create a sense of space.
✅ Pack away family photos, personal collections, and unique décor.
✅ Organize closets and storage areas—they’ll peek inside!

Think of it as pre-packing for your move!


3️⃣ Deep Clean and Refresh

A spotless home makes a strong impression.

✅ Hire professional cleaners if possible.
✅ Shampoo carpets or replace if needed.
✅ Polish floors.
✅ Eliminate pet odors.

Even small details—like gleaming windows or fresh caulk in the bathroom—show you’ve maintained the home with care.


4️⃣ Make Strategic Updates

Not every renovation pays off, but some small investments have big impact:

✅ New hardware on cabinets.
✅ Modern light fixtures.
✅ Fresh, neutral paint.
✅ Updated faucets.

We can help you decide which updates are worth it for your market and price point.


5️⃣ Stage to Sell

Professional staging highlights your home’s best features and can lead to faster, higher offers.

✅ Define each space with purpose.
✅ Use neutral, inviting décor.
✅ Arrange furniture to improve flow.
✅ Add tasteful art and greenery.

If full staging isn’t in your budget, even light “staging consultation” can help tremendously.


6️⃣ Highlight Unique Features

Does your home have a large backyard, chef’s kitchen, or updated bath? Make sure buyers notice!

✅ Emphasize these selling points in photos and showings.
✅ Use lighting and layout to draw the eye.
✅ Mention them prominently in marketing.

We’ll help you craft the right marketing strategy to showcase what makes your home special.


7️⃣ Use Professional Photography and Marketing

Your online listing is often the first showing. Make it count.

✅ Hire a pro real estate photographer.
✅ Consider video or 3D tours.
✅ Create compelling, accurate descriptions.
✅ Leverage social media and online listing sites.

At The Good Home Team, this is standard for every listing—we know the power of great marketing!
