Design to "SELL" in Granbury

 
3108 Walnut Creek Parkway  
 
This Granbury home is NOW on the market!  But it won't be for long, it is priced to sell and ready for new owners to move right in! What a perfect combination!
 
Altered Interiors Design to "SELL" put the finishing touches on this already great home!  
 
 
A large spacious living room with views of the back patio
and back yard invite you go outdoors. 
 
 
The formal dining room has enough wall space for a China Hutch and Buffet!
Plus elbow room around the table with space to spare! 
Your family gatherings will not feel confined here!
 
 
The kitchen has been completely updated, no work needed here! 
Granite counter tops compliment the cabinets perfectly!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What you need know about this home is that it is
wheelchair accessible!
 
 
 
Have fun checking out all the details and schedule your showing this weekend!

SOLD in only 15 days!

 
What a way to stand out from the 91 homes (in the same price range) already on the market and still on the market 6 weeks later! And that's in Keller only.   
 
Next week this family is relocating to Austin and so happy there won't be months of commuting back and forth!  They will also have time to get settled in their new home and help the kids adjust before school starts back up. 
 
One of the pluses of preparing a home for the market is all the pre-packing that is done and out of the way, not to mention when they arrive at their new home if they don't have time to get to all of the boxes immediately they easily know which ones to unpack first!
 
 
“In today’s sluggish housing market, homeowners shouldn’t even consider
putting their home on the market
without hiring a professional to give their house the “wow” factor”.
 
 
 
 
STATISTICS FOR HOME STAGING
           • Non-staged homes were on the market an average 30.9 days. 
           • Staged homes typically sell in less than half the time.
           • Staged homes average 5-10% more than the asking price.
          • Most homes can be staged without spending a lot of money.
 
The art of Design to "SELL" is looking at a room with a different perspective than the decorating eye,  simply decluttering and depersonalizing often lead to sterile environments.  
 
Certified professionals are trained to highlight the home’s strengths and down play its weaknesses.

Home buyers make their ultimate home selection based on their emotional reactions to the properties they visit. The way their brains interpret what they see, hear, touch, smell, and even taste causes them to feel connected to the home they choose.

An informed buyer knows what they can get for their money, and an idea how much repairs or upgrades will cost. If your home needs work, your choice is to  make the necessary repairs or adjust the asking price to reflect what it will cost to make repairs. Because the vast majority of potential buyers want a home that is move in ready, many won't even consider a fixer upper.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dining room shows as lighter and brighter.
 
 
By removing the area rug, the table leaf, extra furniture and wall art this space appears larger and brighter.
 
 
 
 
 
                               
 
 
 
The dated wall paper was removed, the walls textured and painted. The color is considered a neutral tone, there are several accent colors to choose from to create a beautiful color palette. 
An easy decor update is to remove old wall paper.
 
Make all repairs and improvements prior to listing your home, you can use the upgrades
as a selling point to encourage a faster sale.
 
 
Lighten the decor and rent a storage space The formal living room was cozy with enough seating for a large family.  Editing the amount of furniture allowed the room to open up and draw potential buyers in.
 
They took the right approach and marketed their house to appeal to everyone!
