The subliminal messages you get touring Seattle homes has a huge impact on how you select which one you want to buy. Have you noticed that some Seattle homes seem to say “sit down and stay awhile” while you’re looking them over? Savvy sellers can create settings in their homes before they list them, featuring spots to sit and read, or to enjoy a conversation, or to reenergize, be it on a cushioned window-seat or an inviting Adirondack chair near the entry. Some Seattle homes seem to feel utilitarian and rush you through them because they feel bland, and others are so emotionally inviting that buyers, agents, even the neighbors seem to want to linger.
What is the secret to creating Seattle homes that say “stay awhile”?
It’s actually how it feels, looks, and smells, that creates an overall inviting haven. You might try a scented oil in the bath that you’ve smelled at a specialty spa, or removing all the extra clutter on the kitchen counter so it looks ready for a magazine shoot. A little color accent here and there, and thoughtful arrangements of furniture that open up the flow of the home all add up to creating an inviting environment. For extra ideas I recommend doing a little reading on Feng Shui and the art of feeling grounded and relaxed in a home. Creating that special something is what I try to do with each listing before it hits the market.
