How To Package Your Orlando Florida Home To Sell  

After a full day of house hunting in Orlando Florida's complex real estate market, even the hardiest home buyer has difficulty remembering each home visited. A selling display featuring your property's benefits is a great way to be sure your home stands out in the home buyer's memory. We've used the following marketing strategies to successfully sell many homes. They could work for you too! 

Creativity Counts

Your home's memory points can be mounted attractively on a poster or in a looseleaf binder or photo album and displayed on your dining table or near the front door.

Home shoppers appreciate a memory-jogging take-home flyer, summarizing the display information for later study. The flyer should always include the property address, price, brief description and your real estate agent's name and phone number.

Focus On Your Home's Features

Each Central Florida home will have its own outstanding features. When we talk about a marketing strategy for your home, we will consider what to include in your display and on the flyer. Here are some worthwhile ideas: 

Capital improvements

Include project description, year completed and your investment in the home's improvements.

Upgrades or replacements

List new appliances, paint, wallpaper, attic fan -- anything you've accomplished that home buyers won't have to do after move-in.

Mention special features and benefits. For example: "Easy-care kitchen range with self-cleaning oven, sealed burners, electronic ignition, digital controls; 1992."

Energy-saving or "green" features

Cite money-saving extra insulation, high-efficiency heating/cooling system, thermal double-pane windows, etc.

Average annual utility bills

Also mention affordable property taxes. Home buyers want to know!

Floor plan

Show room arrangement and dimensions. New-home builders and renovators can often provide floor plans, or one can be drawn for your home.

Picture your home in your display and on the flyer. Architect's renderings may be available from the original builder.

Gardening highlights

Sketch the landscaping plan to show the work you've done.

Identify trees and plants, especially if you have unusual ones.

Provide photos of bushes and flowers in full bloom, if you're selling off-season.

Pre-listing home inspection report

Impress buyers with proof of your home's excellent condition. Show receipts for correcting any problems the inspector noted.

Community Information

Create a local map.  Highlight nearby schools, convenient transportation, shopping, parks, libraries, hospitals, and any other amenities or points of interest. Your kids can help color the map!

Feature excellent schools. Mention honors and awards, good student-teacher ratios, sports and athletics, drama presentations, and special programs (i.e. for learning disabilities or English as a second language).

List neighborhood association dues (if any), annual community events, Neighborhood Watch programs, and the like. If yours is a friendly, quiet neighborhood, be sure buyers know it!

Community services

Include helpful information such as days for recyclable-material and bulk trash pick-ups, availability of swimming pools, children's summer day-camps, adult education, and so on.

If you've ever wandered into a home builder's model home and been blown away by the decor...you've seen home staging.  Even if your home has great decor and you have impeccable taste, please realize that your taste is not everyone's taste.  Home staging is all about making the home appeal to everyone.  And in today's market, that is imperative.  Many people also think home staging is going to cost you money.  On the contrary, it will help you get more money from the sale of your home.  You'll spend a little, but the rewards will be tenfold.
