Spring is upon us ! Tips for a spring spruce up of your NYC apartment !

·     Great tips for cleaning up and freshening your look

o    Organize-declutter.

§  Yes,generally NYC apartments can be “small” and “cramped for space”-but a lot of that comes from overstuffing-like when you overstuff your luggage ! You don’t want a potential buyer to come through and feel “cramped”. Consider removing (either for good,or just temporarily to storage) furniture, keep a few key pieces.Consider new ways to place furniture to make a room more appealing.

 

o    Clean and organize closets and cabinets.

§  People want to see effective use of space,they want to picture how will THEY use the space. Buyers always check out the closet space-consider getting storage aids from places like the Container Store or IKEA

o    Repair and paint-

§  Have a leaky faucet ? Fix it . Squeaky door fix it !

§  Consider repainting. Consider painting with neutral colors (yes not everyone will LOVE that orange accent wall,um room.)

o    If you have broken appliances- fix or if possible replace them.

o    Clean windows- seems so “duh” ,but how can anyone see the view if what they see are smudges ! 

o    Address any possible olfactory issues (i.e. especially if you're a smoker, or own pets)

o    Fresh flowers ! Even if it’s just some roses from your corner deli !
