When to Pressure Wash Your Jupiter Home

Since we've entered August and it's been so hot and rainy lately, my tip of the day is about pressure washing. I don't know about you, but I've seen some algae showing up on our fence and a bit around our house. 

You definitely want to pressure wash if you're getting ready to sell.

What I recommend to everybody - especially those getting ready to sell their house - is to prepare your house for a pressure cleaning, or even buy your own pressure washer. It's not the best time to do it quite yet since we're still in August, but come late September and into October, we’ll start transitioning into our beautiful Florida winter. I'd definitely consider pressure washing at that time.

If you're getting ready to sell, though, now is a great time. 

If you are preparing to sell or buy a home in Jupiter, we'd love to answer any questions you have. Give me a call or send me an email and let's talk soon!

If you are looking to sell your home, your goal is to get the most money possible in the shortest amount of time. One of the best ways to add value and appeal to your home is through home staging. You have a lot of options for how you want to go about it. You could hire a professional staging company, but that comes with a hefty price tag. Most of the time, a few simple fixes is all it takes to transform a living room. 

Today we are going to go through some of our most favorite, inexpensive home staging tips or you. We hope these will help you save both time and money when it comes time to sell your home.

A fresh coat of paint is always a good idea. Neutral, warm colors work best for highlighting the natural light in your home. This will make it easier to punch up the room with some colorful accessories and pull everything together.

A common design problem facing many homeowners is that they have no real entry way, as their front door opens up to the living room. To fix this, you can add a table, some lighting, and a rug to "fake a foyer" and make it feel like the living room and entryway are two different spaces.

A patterned rug, some pillows, or bright curtains add a ton of texture and an eclectic layer to the space, which is essential to a well-designed room.

In some cases, a "make-under" is just what you need. In the case of most fireplaces, taking some accessories and clutter away enhances the look and feel of the room greatly.

You could spend well over a few thousand dollars with a staging company, or you could do these fixes yourself for around $500. That's a small investment considering the value that you add to your home by adding those pieces.
