Fun Tip For Your New Construction – Add a Hoist to Make Moving In Easier!

Posted by John Poltrock on

It’s not always about real estate here in Murphy; sometimes we just have a good tip to share! When you go to build a new home, one of my most fun, simple tips is to add a hoist to make it easy to move your furniture to the second floor. I had the idea when we built our house before we put the walls and ceiling up and it has been such a blessing! It makes it so much easier to move furniture. We did this 5 or 6 years ago and an inexpensive hoist from a tool shop makes all the difference. Watch the video above and maybe it’ll help!

I’ve never seen another home with this so if you do it, please send me a video so I can check out your setup!

Should I Sell My Murphy NC Home Furnished?

There are a lot of home owners who wrestle with the question, “Should I list and sell my home in Murphy NC fully furnished?” When it comes to working with real estate buyers, this question doesn’t have a direct answer because there are a couple considerations that come in to play.

Is your furniture nice and will it target your likely buyer? Then you certainly need to consider the option of selling it furnished. If it’s cabin furniture in a nice chalet or something of that nature, then you’d better believe it will help. If you want to keep some pieces for yourself, you need to say so in the listing or leave a “Detail Sheet” that will specifically tell them what goes and doesn’t.

Does it clash? You don’t want Florida beach decor in a mountain cabin, and believe me, people try to. If it doesn’t fit the look and style of your home, it’s likely that it will hurt you and you need to get rid of it.

Is the furniture junk you don’t want to move? Although an abrupt and direct question, if its junk and you don’t want it either, the buyer probably doesn’t want it either. In fact, it may be advantageous to get rid of your furniture and spruce it up. You can donate it to many organizations who will appreciate it, like Christian Love Ministries. You’re paying for professional service, so ask your Realtor what to do – what to keep, get rid of, etc.

Not sure – it’s not junk and not sure if the buyer will want it either? Ask your Realtor. Also, I would encourage you to separate the furnishings from your listing. In other words, put “Furnishings Negotiable” on the listing. That way, if they want them, you can work out a separate agreement while keeping them out of the real estate side.

Each case can be different, so be sure to hire a professional who can not only sell your home in the mountains – but can also guide you through the process and coach you on how to capitalize the best from your investment. If you don’t have a Realtor, call us!
