Has
Your House Got Style?
PELLA, Iowa, Oct. 12, 2007
/PRNewswire/ -- Selling a home may seem especially daunting
during a soft real estate market. If now is the time to sell,
make sure your home has the style to make it sing to potential
buyers. Home and Garden Television (HGTV)* offers these ideas
to stage your home to enhance its marketability:
1. What an entrance!
The outside of your home is the all-important first impression. And like
it or not, it speaks volumes about what's inside. Glossy paint in a bold,
cheerful color for the front door, new hardware, a doormat and seasonal
potted plants on the porch will dramatically brighten and refresh your
home's entry.
2. Create spaces
Part of what those that stage homes do is create fantasy spaces: an
exercise room, a meditation space, an art studio or a family game room. If
a room currently only gathers junk, repurpose it into something that will
add to the value -- and enjoyment -- of the home
3. Brilliant natural light
Take off old, heavy drapery and put up something light and airy. This
allows natural light and makes a previously closed-in space seem larger.
For window treatments in a
bedroom or bath, Pella Designer Series(R) windows and doors
feature top-down or bottom-up shade options tucked neatly
between panes of glass for added cleanliness and privacy,
without the clutter of traditional room-side blinds.
Brand names open doors
In today's competitive
market, buyers look for brand names everywhere in a home.
While a name brand range or countertop are influencers in the
kitchen, so are quality name brand windows and entry doors
throughout the home. Many sellers list Pella(R) windows and
doors by name in ads, creating a mark of distinction about a
home offered for sale.
Pella offers quality products
in its wood, vinyl and fiberglass composite window
collections. As the 2007 ENERGY STAR(R) partner of the year
among window manufacturers, Pella products not only look
beautiful, they're also energy-efficient helping keep the home
warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Make sure your home is styled
to sell in these tight economic times. For more information on
home improvement featuring windows and doors, contact a local
Pella(R) Window & Door Showroom representative by calling
