8 Ways to Ensure Your Home Get’s Noticed – (Proposed new title)

Embrace Summer Bliss with Your Dream Home!

As the sun shines brightly and the warm breezes blow, we couldn’t be happier to share this mid-summer update with you. This season is all about cherishing the things we love, from spending time in the great outdoors to relishing the company of friends and family. It’s also the perfect time to make your real estate dreams come true!

Summer Home Showcasing Tips

If you’re planning to sell your property this summer, take advantage of the longer days and showcase your outdoor space to it’s fullest potential. Here are some simple yet effective tips to impress prospective buyers:

  1. Create a Memorable Entrance: Start with a clean, pressure-washed front stoop and front door. First impressions count, and a welcoming entrance sets the tone for what’s to come.
  2. Declutter and Organize: Tidy up your outdoor spaces by stowing away toys, BBQs, gardening tools, and garbage bins. A clutter-free environment allows buyers to envision their future oasis.
  3. Personalize Sparingly: While your garden gnomes and seasonal flags hold sentimental value, it’s best to put them away for now. Let potential buyers imagine how they can personalize the space themselves.
  4. A Well-Manicured Garden: Ensure your lawn and gardens look their best by raking leaves, pruning dead branches, and mulching flower beds. A lush, well-maintained garden is always a plus.
  5. Pool and Water Features: If you have a pool or water feature, make sure everything is in top condition and unused or broken equipment is stored away. Clean filters, functioning pumps, and sparkling water create an inviting atmosphere.
  6. Illuminate Your Space: Check that all outdoor lighting is working correctly. Consider adding a string of Bistro lights to create a sense of intimacy perfect for outdoor entertaining.
  7. Add Cozy Seating: Even a small bistro set with comfortable cushions can make a condo patio feel inviting and spacious.
  8. Pop of Colour: Use potted plants and ferns to add a splash of colour near your front door, patio door, and deck – visual appeal makes a lasting impression.

Community Impact

We are collecting items for Elora House which cares for survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Please consider making an impact with us by giving what you can – each item helps so much:

  • Feminine products
  • Inspiring books and videos
  • New clothing for intake (all sizes of Sports bras, leggings, t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, sweaters, hoodies)
  • Gift cards for survivors as they transition back into the community and for monthly groceries (Walmart, Food Basics, No Frills, Fresh co, Dollarama, Tim Hortons, Costco etc.)

We will be gathering all donated items for drop off at the Elora House at the end of each month in August and September. Locations are at our Elora, Fergus and Guelph offices or email Amy Murray at amy@impactrealtygroup.com to arrange a pick up.
