Our tips are always tailored to our client's needs and the property we are selling. The basics when preparing a home for showings:
1) Open up the space!
2) De-clutter. The layout in this home is great. It is open and contemporary. But the furniture is arranged in a way that blocks the flow from the entry door to the rear of the property and there are many personal items out in plain view. Since this home is occupied by three people it is important to be sensitive to their needs in the process of selling. Therefore we have come up with a Plan A and Plan B for preparing this home for showings.
Plan A is to keep the property in the same condition it and monitor the feedback. If the feedback mentions anything negative about the way in which the home shows, we will go to Plan B.
Plan B is to open up the floor plan by moving the couch that divides the living area and decluttering the surfaces. No more than three items on a surface is the rule of thumb.
Since this property is such a fantastic price and is in a great location in Northern Liberties, there is a good chance we will not have to make any alterations at all.
V.12 is vitally important. That's InLiquid's annual Silent Auction Benefit Party v. 12, and not only is this event a great party, it also helps support Philadelphia's visual artist community. Check out the details below and snag your tickets here!

We specialize in buyer and seller agency in Philadelphia. Getting a property sold in this market is much more challenging. However, our marketing and advertising strategy is always intensive and aggressive to accomplish the goals.
What it takes to get your house sold
Not too long ago, listing a home on the MLS, putting a lock box on the door knob, and sticking a For Sale sign on the front yard was all it used to take to get homes sold. Though the Philadelphia region is still doing fairly well in comparison to the rest of the country, currently there is a large inventory of houses for sale and the time on the market doubled over the last year. This is good news for buyers but not so good news for sellers who may still be convinced they can sell their properties just as fast as their neighbors did two years ago.
It takes a well-conceived marketing plan to get houses sold these days and this is exactly the approach we take with every client. It ultimately boils down to pricing it right, creating the maximum amount of exposure in the market through innovative marketing tactics, and making sure the house shows well. With so much to choose from, buyers are picky and almost always look for properties that are move-in ready. You can read more about getting your house ready for sale in our Resources section.
