Showing Your Property

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Showing your Lindon property can sometimes require a ’second eye’ to help ensure that you are emphasizing the right features, in the right way.

Recently there has been a lot of talk about ’staging’ in Lindon. Staging your Lindon property means to ‘dress it up’ for show, much like you would get yourself ready for a special event. Staging your Lindon property includes everything from simply cleaning up a bit, to decorating with the right colors, fixtures, and accessories, and even home improvement additions.

But how much is too much?

Staging in Lindon can be a bit tricky; you don’t want to spend money on staging, additions, or repair work because often times these efforts do not add value to your Lindon property. The money you spend on some efforts to ‘fix up’ may not be recoverable. Expensive additions can also be a matter of personal taste, and may not have wide appeal to other Lindon property buyers who may be planning their own additions, fixes, and changes.

Likewise, staging can sometimes be seen as overwhelming or even deceiving. Current research indicates that too much staging can turn potential Lindon property buyers away because the personality of the Lindon property is too strong and becomes the most significant deciding factor. Can you imagine missing a opportunity to sell your Lindon property because the style of the decor was too strong?

Lindon property buyers will be wary if staging appears to be implemented to hide defects or draw attention away from otherwise negative features.

Done correctly, staging can be an effective tool in selling your Lindon property.

As a Realtor, my experience in selling Lindon Residential properties allows me to be a good judge in what features to emphasize, and what degree of staging may be appropriate, or financially justifiable for the Lindon real estate market.

Location, Location, Location

You have probably heard that there are only three rules to be concerned with when dealing with real estate in the Provo area. And that each of them are ‘location’.

Finding a good location around Provo is certainly important, and is always ‘top-of-mind’ for my customers. But don’t forget to read between the lines when searching for your optimal real estate property location.

Location can mean a different thing for homes and businesses. I specialize in Residential real estate, and monitor the local Lindon community for Residential properties. I know what ‘location’ means for Residential real estate in the greater Provo area, and I keep an eye out for trends that effect the value of ‘location’.

My Realty Advanatge office is located in the city of Lindon, and we are located on the street called ‘360 North State Ste G’, these attributes of our ‘location’ were chosen for many reasons, including proximity to other services, price, convenience, and accommodation.

I know there can be a lot of factors that form your unique idea of the perfect location in the Provo area. For this reason it is important that you meet with your Realtor and discuss what ‘location’ means for you.

As a Realtor, I like to understand what ‘location’ means for you before we begin reviewing available properties so that I can do the work for you, and present the real estate that you will be most interested in. That’s what a Realtor does.
