About Us

Doing Real Estate Differently

The real estate landscape is constantly shifting, and for sellers, the biggest challenge is helping your home to stand out among the other houses on the market, from the first photos that potential buyers see to the moment they walk through the front door. A big component of setting your home apart includes completing some basic preparation and then staging it. At Atwell Ford, we truly believe that the more work you put in at the front-end of selling your home, the greater the pay-off when it comes to sale price and time on market. 

A little preparation goes a long way to making your home sale a success.
At Atwell Ford, we break market-readiness into two tiers. First, listing prep is a crucial step to ensuring your home attracts the most buyers as possible. Our individualized listing prep guide that we share with each of our sellers is a foundational component of our proven-process for selling homes. These guidelines include repairs, cleaning, decluttering and self-staging recommendations, and they help you determine what’s going to matter the most to achieve top-dollar.
 

Home staging is the second tier of market-readiness for sellers who don’t want to risk leaving any money on the table. Whether you’re selling a home that is already empty or prefer to move out before showings begin, there are many reasons that investing in home staging can pay off in the long run. Our exclusive home staging partner, Rosales & Rose, is setting a new standard for home staging in the Piedmont Triad, and we would love to introduce you to them.

Staging gives buyers a window into what their lives in a home could be like.
Preparing your home for market may seem daunting at first, but it is achievable. There are many things you can do yourself to improve your home’s appeal, and we have a depth of resources to help you figure out the rest.

Our Listing Prep Process

When you list your home with Atwell Ford, we’ll work with you to prepare your home for sale, including setting you up for success as you get your home market ready. Even if home design is not your wheelhouse, there are many things you can do to help your home look its best, and we’ll give you a step-by-step guide about what will bring the most value to your home. Here’s how we help you prepare your own home.

Room-by-Room Prep Guide

Before your home gets listed, our Listing Prep Specialist does a walkthrough of your home. From that walkthrough, we prepare a thorough listing prep guide that assesses each space, both inside and out, giving you ideas of what you can do to prepare your home. Suggestions include areas to declutter, maintenance issues to address, or furniture to remove, all of which help get your home ready for its close-ups.

Professional Support

Throughout the selling process, we’re there to be your support system. We’ll provide suggestions of how you can use the items and furniture in your own home to appeal to the wide variety of buyers who walk through your door. Your real estate agent and our staging specialist are available for questions that pop up as you prepare your home and to discuss what’s working and what’s not in a room. Not so handy? We can refer you to tried-and-true contractors, cleaners, and other specialists, who can help you get the job done. You’re not doing this by yourself.

Preparing for Photos

Today’s buyers base a lot of their decisions on photos they see of a home online before they ever step foot in a home. We arrange for professional photos of your home that will show your home at its best. If you’ve worked the prep guide we gave you, your home will be well on its way to attractive photos. Often, we’ll even do a walkthrough of a home before the photos to make sure everything is picture perfect.

Common Problems Staging Can Solve

Not everyone is selling a house that’s already a dream home and not everyone can afford a complete makeover of their home before putting it on the market. Professional staging can help with your home’s problem areas by helping buyers see past them or show creative ways to live with them. Here are some common examples of problems we find in homes:

1
1
Missing Rooms

Maybe your home doesn’t have a dining room or a true living room. Staging your home helps buyers envision how to get what they need out of the space you do have in your home.

2
2
Ugly Bathrooms

Bathrooms become dated quickly, but it may not be to your advantage to renovate or
even refresh. Staging goes a long way to bring modern aesthetics to spaces that aren’t on trend.

3
3
Flooring Changes

Perhaps your home has unusual flooring changes or other inconsistencies. There are ways to deal with those areas by staging furniture and zoning areas around them, something that a home staging expert can assess and resolve.

4
4
Outdated Countertops

Some things are just too costly to replace, like countertops. Yours may not be pretty or what buyers are looking for, but with correct staging, that may not be such a big deal.
