One client at a time

mn_sold_realty We used to label rooms with certainty: dining, guest, office, nursery. But life doesn’t work in fixed boxes anymore. Today’s buyers want homes that flex with them – the office that doubles as a yoga room, the loft that becomes a creative studio, the spare room ready for ageing parents down the line. Flex spaces feel like possibility. They say, “This home can evolve as your life does.” It’s less about square footage and more about freedom – and in 2025, freedom sells.

mn_sold_realty Perception matters. These 3 design details help homes feel more expansive – even when space is tight. Which one would you try first? #smallspaceliving #stagingtips #homeimprovement #realestatedesign #reelsforrealtors

mn_sold_realty Small touch-ups that make a big difference before you list: ✔️ Repaint scuffed baseboards and door frames for a clean finish ✔️ Replace burnt-out bulbs with warm-toned lighting ✔️ Tighten loose cabinet handles and door knobs ✔️ Re-caulk tubs, sinks, and showers for a fresh, sealed look ✔️ Oil squeaky hinges so doors open smoothly ✔️ Power wash driveways, entryways, and patios ✔️ Replace old or worn welcome mats to create an inviting entry ✔️ Clean window tracks and sliding door rails for easy use ✔️ Touch up chipped paint patches on walls and trim These small details tell buyers your home is well cared for – and that builds trust before they even read the inspection report. But, there's one big key touch-up I didn't include in my list... send me a DM and I'll share it with you! #homesellingtips #marketready #realestateprep

mn_sold_realty Listing photos speak before you ever greet a buyer. Dark, cluttered photos tell buyers a home feels cramped or neglected. Overly edited photos make them suspicious about what’s real. After all, great photos are designed to do two things: a) show true space and b) invite buyers to see themselves there. Simple, right? Make sure every room is clean, decluttered, and lit well. Highlight flow, not just features. Capture the mood that feels like home. Since buyers scroll fast, the right photo stops them long enough to click for a tour 📸 #listingphotos #homesellingtips #marketready

mn_sold_realty Scent is powerful – it shapes how buyers remember your home. In fall, avoid heavy cinnamon candles or artificial pumpkin sprays. They can feel overpowering and fake. Instead, aim for fresh and subtle. Clean linen, soft vanilla, or even just opening windows before a showing creates an airy, neutral base ☁️ Buyers want to imagine themselves living there, not feel like they’re stepping into someone else’s potpourri collection! If your home smells clean and calm, buyers focus on the space – not what you’re trying to cover up 🌿 #homestaging #fallshowings #realestatetips

mn_sold_realty Your entryway sets the tone for the entire showing. As fall arrives, think warmth and welcome. Swap out tired mats for clean, neutral tones. Add a subtle seasonal wreath or potted mums by the door. Make sure lighting is bright but warm – harsh overheads kill the mood... fast. And your shoes piled up by the door? They instantly shrink your space. Tuck them away to keep the entryway feeling open and calm. First impressions matter – buyers decide how they feel about your home before they’ve even stepped into the living room 🍁 #fallstaging #curbappeal #firstimpressions
