Realtor: The Space Lift-Virtual Consultation Walkthrough
The Space Lift-Virtual Consultation Walkthrough
This comprehensive service includes a virtual consultation where we walk through the home together online. During this session, I’ll provide expert recommendations on how to update the space, whether it’s rearranging furniture, suggesting new color schemes, or adding modern décor elements. Following the consultation, I’ll create a custom concept board with a detailed shopping list, including links to purchase suggested furniture and décor, making it easy for you or the homeowner to implement the updates. This option is ideal for realtors who want hands-on design input tailored to the home.
What's Included:
1. Evaluation of the current state of the home, including its layout, furniture arrangement, and existing décor. Identify key areas that need improvement, such as dated color schemes, worn-out furniture, or cluttered spaces.
2. Furniture Placement and Layout
Provide recommendations for rearranging existing furniture to maximize space and flow. Suggest removing or replacing furniture pieces that may not appeal to potential buyers.
3. Decluttering and Staging Tips
Advice on decluttering rooms to create a more open and inviting space. Staging tips, including how to depersonalize the space for broad appeal.
4. Color Scheme and Paint Recommendations
Offer updated color palettes that reflect current design trends and neutral tones to appeal to a wide range of buyers.
Suggest repainting key areas like kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms.
5. Lighting Enhancements
Identify areas with poor lighting and suggest upgrades such as adding modern light fixtures, using brighter/different color temperature bulbs, or incorporating additional light sources like floor lamps.
6. Décor Updates and Styling
Recommend affordable modern décor items such as artwork, rugs, and accessories to freshen up the space.
Provide guidance on how to style surfaces like coffee tables, bookshelves, and mantels for optimal appeal.
7. Budget-Friendly Upgrades
Highlight low-cost updates that offer high return on investment, such as swapping out hardware (e.g., cabinet pulls), updating light fixtures, or adding stylish throw pillows and blankets.
8. Special Considerations
Address specific elements of the home that need attention, such as pet damage or wear-and-tear in high-traffic areas.
Offer guidance for targeted updates in key selling spaces, like kitchens and bathrooms, without a full renovation.
9. Custom Concept Board & Shopping List
Following the virtual consultation, I'll create a custom concept board that includes visual inspirations for the suggested updates.
I'll provide a detailed shopping list with links to purchase suggested furniture, décor, and other updates, ensuring ease of implementation.
