PREPARING FOR SALE
Not all homes are built equally. So when you are about to put your luxury home on the market, why would you treat it like any other home? You want your house to sell for a luxurious price, so you need to get your home ship-shape for a high-end market. Here is our top list of things you need to do to get luxury home into shape before selling.
GETTING DOWN TO BASICS:
A Fresh Coat Of Paint
This tip is true of all homes, not just luxury homes. But you would be surprised how many luxury home owners forget that even their elegant homes can have paint chips! Paint consistently ensures a great return on investment. The right colour can set the identity of your home. To give your home that luxe feel, we suggest soft grey-blues, beiges and warm browns.
New Year, New Floors
The second best return on investment for your luxury home in the basics category is replacing or refinishing your floors. Hardwood is still the most demanded flooring option by buyers. One of the biggest tips we can offer you is to ensure the flooring is consistent in your home. You may have great quality flooring in your kitchen and bathroom, but if you have mismatching hardwood in the house, it may actually take away from the value of your property.
Take It Higher
One of the standout features that differentiates a mid-market home to a luxury home is vaulted ceilings. Raising your ceiling can lift and lighten the spaces in your home. This is something that once you put in your home, everyone will admire.

Bring Your Kitchen Into The New Decade
Kitchens will always be one of the most important rooms to a buyer, but how can you modernize your space in a way that is enticing to luxury buyers? In addition to installing high quality counter tops, consider going smart in your kitchen. Get a smart refrigerator, energy efficient lighting that is also automated by your smart home system, etc.
Go Big In The Master Bedroom
This is one key differentiator from mid-market buyers and luxury home buyers. Mid-market buyers see a nice master bedroom as a luxury, so they mainly look for necessities. A luxury buyer cares about the level of quality, layout and design of the master bedroom. Your ensuite bathroom should have in-floor heating and a soaker tub. The height of luxury and design right now is an Italian shower which is both accessible and stunning to look at.
Make Your Backyard An Oasis
How you design the exterior of your home is critical. This forms the instant curb appeal to buyers and therefore needs a substantial amount of investment. A luxury home will have a well landscaped property that embraces the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A luxury buyer is always willing to pay a premium for a move-in ready backyard paradise that is complete with patios, pools, and fire pits.
