The Right Way To Move Into Your Bend Oregon Home

Bend Oregon Home

 

By Deb Tebbs Group 

After weeks of searching Bend Oregon Homes for Sale you finally found the Bend Oregon Real Estate of your dreams and are ready to move into your first home.

Although you’re eager to move into your new home it’s important to know that moving does take preparation and you can successfully move into your new home by following these simple tips.

Pack an Overnight Bag 

The first thing to do before moving into your new home is to pack an overnight bag for everyone in the family because each person is going to need their own personal supplies and it’s better to have those items available in an overnight bag rather than having to search for them in boxes.

Pack All of the Daily Items You Will Need To Use First

Another important thing to do when moving is to pack all of the items you use every day into a plastic bin so you can easily find that bin when you move into your new home.

Use Extra Care When Packing Breakable Items 

For breakable items you should use a little creativity to pack those items and use clean socks to insulate small breakables or consider using blankets, comforters and sheets to insulate large breakable items like glass mirrors or artwork.

Label All Moving Boxes 

One of the most frustrating things to do when moving is having to read what someone quickly wrote on a moving box when you are moving into a new home.

To avoid this hassle you should consider investing in labels for your moving boxes and then once a box is packed / taped up you should encourage everyone who is helping with the move to apply a label to the box and clearly write on the box what’s inside it.

Clean The Kitchens and Bathrooms BEFORE Moving In

Since our kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most important areas of the home you should clean those areas first BEFORE moving into your new home because it doesn’t make sense to have boxes in those rooms because you will have to take them out and clean anyway before moving in.

Don’t Remove Drawers From Dressers Before Moving THem 

Before packing the contents of your dresser drawers you should consider keeping those drawers intact by wrapping the top of those drawers with shrink wrap or plastic wrap so you can stack each drawer in the moving van then reinstall them in the dresser when you arrive at your new home.

Use Press N Seal On Hanging Jewelry

Another cool thing you can do when moving is to use products like glad’s Press N Seal to wrap up your hanging jewelry before placing the jewelry box or armoire into a moving box.

So you’re thinking about selling your Bend Oregon Real Estate but the thought of listing your home is a little intimidating because you have children and a family who is fond of making messes.

Don’t worry! Even though it might seem like an impossible task you can keep your home clean and make it stand out from other Bend Oregon Homes for Sale by following these 4 secrets.

#1 – Create a Regular Cleaning Schedule

Once we list your Bend Oregon Real Estate for you the first thing you should do to keep your home always clean is to create a schedule of things in your home you should clean every day vs. things you should clean weekly.

Daily Example: clean the bathrooms, clean the kitchen, sweep the floors and vacuum the house.

Weekly Example: dust the house, clean the bedroom, wash fingerprints off windows, organize shelves, declutter the kitchen, organize the medicine cabinet, and de-clutter the refrigerator.

By writing down regular things you should focus on cleaning daily vs. weekly you can create a schedule that everyone in your home can get in on so you don’t have to worry about cleaning your home all by yourself.

Another benefit of having a regular cleaning schedule is that you will avoid overwhelm with last minute calls from your Realtor® when they decide to show your home after 5 o’clock or on the weekends and you can have confidence that your home will literally shine among other Bend Oregon Homes For Sale.

#2 – Choose Creative Ways to Manage Clutter

Clutter is a fact of life in any home but when you’re trying to sell your Bend Oregon Real Estate it can be downright annoying but, you can easily deal with clutter by investing in baskets to hide the clutter then strategically place those baskets in a closet or on a shelf so that your home will look neat and tidy when buyers arrive.

#3 – Start Eliminating Most of Your “Stuff” Now

One common thing that can make a home stand out in a bad way among other Bend Oregon Homes for Sale is if the home is cluttered with lots of stuff.

You may love your bikes, stand up paddle board, surf boards and other fun stuff that you have in your home but as your Realtor® all we are thinking is that those things take up space and will make your home look smaller.

For best results try taking most of your stuff now and placing it in storage so your home will look bigger and more spacious when buyers arrive.

#4 – Hire a Weekly Deep Cleaning Service

While your Bend Oregon Real Estate is for sale you should consider hiring a weekly cleaning service to come by your home to do a weekly deep cleaning service to insure that no areas of your home will be untidy by the time buyers arrive.

Are you thinking about selling your Bend Oregon Real Estate?

One of the best things you can do before having your home listed on the MLS with other Bend Oregon Homes For Sale is to paint the inside of your home but before you paint the rooms inside your home white or another neutral color, why not consider choosing some of the most popular paint colors for 2015?

#1 – Guilford Green

The first awesome color for 2015 you should consider for your Bend Oregon Real Estate is Guilford Green by Benjamin Moore.

This color is “silvery green” and will work perfectly in your home especially if you want your home to stand out among other Craftsman or Mid Century Modern Bend Oregon Homes for Sale.

Guilford Green (H-116) will also work well in a home that features timeless details like oversized casings or pocket doors.

#2 – Noir

By Pratt & Lambert this delicious color offers a rich tone that would work well in any bathroom because the dark ton of Noir 24-16 will contrast perfectly with white sinks or tile that you can find in most bathrooms of Bend Homes for Sale.

#3 – Coral Reef

If you’re searching for a fantastic color to paint one of the walls in your kitchen you should try Coral Reef SW-6606 by Sherwin-Williams. This cheerful color will work well in any home, especially in cottage style, contemporary or homes with plenty of wonderful designs.

#4 – Essential Teal

When decorating your bedroom don’t just choose any old color, you should consider Behr’s Essential Teal.

This color totally lives up to its name because it’s an essential choice for the bedroom since it creates an intimate setting and will turn your bedroom into a place for rest.

#5 – Tanners Brown

Did you know that brown is in during 2015?

Farrow and Ball’s Tanners Brown will make the perfect color to paint your family room, study or office because it has a timeless appeal to it.

For best results with tanners brown consider using this color in rooms of your home that don’t get a lot of natural light.

After Painting Your Home Do This

Now that you’ve painted the inside of your Bend Oregon Real Estate make sure you do the following: hire a professional cleaning company to have your home cleaned from top-to-bottom, even the ceilings and you should also have the flooring in your home cleaned as well because many homeowners often forget to give their homes a good cleaning before they are listed.

After cleaning your home you should also pay a professional designer to come to your home for at least one hour and recommend design improvements you can make which will enhance your home and play off the new colors you’ve chosen to paint your home.
