Increasing Foyer Appeal

March 24, 2015

foyer-appealYou’ve heard of curb appeal. It refers to the good impression buyers tend to get when they first see your house “from the curb”. The greater the curb appeal, the more enticing your house will seem.

But there’s another type of appeal you may not be aware of: Foyer appeal. That’s the impression buyers get when they first walk in the door.

Think of what happens when someone visits your house for the first time. Chances are, they stand in the foyer for a few moments, look around, and take in the view of your house from that perspective.

That’s why, if you’re preparing your property for sale, it’s important to make the foyer look as attractive and inviting as possible.

Obviously, you want to make sure it’s clean and free of clutter. You don’t want potential buyers to trip over shoes or catch a glimpse of an over-stuffed coat closet.

If you have a welcome mat, make sure it’s clean and in good shape. Or, better still, buy a new one.

Finally, make sure that the rooms that can be seen from the foyer look attractive.

The impression you want to make is, “Wow. I can’t wait to see the rest of the house!”

As a first time home buyer I was so happy to work with Fiona.
I was searching for a place for a year and she never pressured me, and throughout was patient and exceptionally professional.
She assured me that the right property would pop up, I continued to look at all the listings she would send me thru her client focused newsletter. Finally I found a place and although the price was higher than I was hoping she fought and went way out of her way to fit it in my budget.

I can't say enough wonderful things about her, I personally have friends that are realtors but Fiona by far out shines them in her knowledge of the market, her wonderful pleasant character and her genuine work ethics

Thank you for making it all happen for me!!!!
