Realtors: Add Sloane’s to Your Toolkit
When you sell a house, you have a fine line to walk — on the one hand, you want to make the house as appealing as possible for your buyer, and that often means fixing the place up a bit. On the other hand, any money that goes into the house before the sale may mean less profit for the seller.
The Importance of Carpet
Have you ever left the house for a while, then come back and noticed an odd smell that you’d simply gotten used to before? Your flooring is a lot like that. In some cases, we mean that literally — old carpets can build up a smell of mustiness or mildew that’s very difficult or impossible to get rid of — but we also mean the appearance of your carpets.
As your clients live in their home, their carpets start to wear in certain areas more than others — next to the bed, in front of the dresser, in front of the couch, down the middle of the stairs, and so on. When the house is emptied out to be shown, those worn spots are glaringly obvious, and no amount of steam cleaning will get rid of them.
And that’s just one of the reasons that carpet needs to be replaced. Others include:
- Stains that won’t come out
- Odors that linger even after cleaning
- Visible carpet backing
- Indentations in the carpet pad caused by long-term traffic
- Carpets that are notably out of style
That’s why we recommend that your clients replace their carpets entirely before they sell. Flooring is one of the most prominent features of a new home, and replacing it with fresh new flooring and padding is the best way to make a good first impression when you’re showing the house.
As an added bonus, carpet is the fastest and most inexpensive way to freshen up a home. A good crew can remove the old carpet, prep the floor, install the new carpet, and even put furniture back where it was in a weekend — all for less than half the price per square foot of a wood floor.
