When selling your home, redesigning the interior will help it appeal to as many buyers as possible. The redesign doesn’t have to be complicated, either.
On our team, interior redesign is a very important part of selling a home. How important? We do it with each and every one we list. With that in mind, we asked interior design expert/real estate agent Jennifer Rasmussen-Herz to join us today to help explain both what goes into an interior redesign and how it helps a property sell.
In short, the goal of an interior redesign is to make the home appeal to as many buyers as possible. At the end of the day, more buyer interest means you’re more likely to get your preferred asking price. As a homeowner, Jennifer recommends three specific things you can do in your redesign to appeal to a deep buyer pool:
- Avoid obnoxious wall colors. This means colors like hot pink or lime green. The most popular color of this season is grey, which makes sense because it is neutral.
- Upgrade your kitchen to granite. Jennifer did this to her own home, and it paid off by generating multiple offers.
- Declutter. As the saying goes, you live in your house one way, but sell it another. Decluttering is the most important part of the strategy of appealing to as many buyers as possible. A clean, organized, open spatial interior optimizes the buyer’s chance to visualize themselves in the home.
If you hire an interior design expert like Jennifer, your session with them will generally consist of an hourlong a walkthrough where they go through your home home room by room and make recommendations on what furniture to rearrange or remove completely. Their recommendations are based specifically on what they think will help you sell for the highest price possible. Don’t worry about price, either—they only recommend what you’re capable of doing within your own resources
More buyer interest means you’re more likely to get your preferred asking price.
