If you need your home sold fast, you want to make sure you promote your property in the best way possible to potential home buyers. Here are 4 ways you can affordably help your home stand out so home buyers can be more likely to be interested in your place.

Install a new front door

One of the best investments you can make in selling your home could be cheaper and way more obvious than you think: your own front door. A new steel door provides a fresh, protective appeal that will not go unnoticed by potential home buyers. While window, kitchen, and bathroom upgrades can cost you thousands of dollars, a new door can cost you less than $500 depending on the thickness and design you choose. Buy a front door in a colorful yet neutral hue, such as ocean gray or charcoal.

Add live plants to the home

As you stage your home, don't forget about live plants. Plants offer a homey and cheeky appeal to every room, making your home appear inviting, fresh, and healthy. Ferns, ficus, and even colorful potted blooms can make a huge difference in how your home's design appeals to people looking for a new property to call their own. Don't forget to place large potted plants just outside the entry door as well for instant appeal.

Place mirrors in smaller rooms

Laundry rooms, offices, and other small areas of the home can be made brighter and larger by wall mirrors. Not only do mirrors offer pretty staging, they can give these tiny yet useful spaces greater appeal, making home buyers more excited about all your home's square footage. To further make your home stand out, stay away from classic square or rectangular mirror designs and go bold with round or oval styles. Place mirrors along the largest wall in the room to make it much larger to the eye.

Place candles in spaces for showing

Some real estate agents swear by room lighting to perfectly stage a home to be sold quickly, and this may be true. Placing candles (lit or as decor) in every room of the home instantly brightens the area and gives it that warm and welcoming appeal you need to promote your home positively. Light at least 1 candle per room to draw the eye and help potential buyers envision what their lives would be like within the walls of your home. If you can inspire home buyers in a positive way, you can get your home sold quickly.
