Call it zen, call it hygge, call it whatever you like; some houses just have that “it factor” that gives buyers a warm fuzzy feeling. Today we talk about the simplest ways to take your house from zero to zen before putting it on the market.
Video Transcripthello hello hello hello peeps Diane and Randall bro here I’m Randall she’s the Presa picin that is correct uh we are your local uh mom and pop Realtors pop Realtors sure yeah I gu yeah she’s a mom I’m a pop I guess yeah we’re parents yeah we’re parents we can identify as that yeah absolutely um but anyway we are we live here in Prescot we love it we came here 7 years ago have not looked back um we’ve gotten into real estate and we absolutely love it we’ve met so many wonderful people we’ve been in so many beautiful homes and one thing that we always mention when we go in with our buyers there are certain houses that just hit you right in the heart as soon as you walk in and it’s the zenfield zenfi and we have been in multi-million doll homes does not feel z y and we’ve been in little tiny Cottages that are very you know low priced homes that has the perfect as the Zen feel here’s the thing if a buyer describes your home as Zen they’re halfway to buying that’s right if they use the zword they like it the zword it’s an emotional feeling when people walk into a home it’s the emotion and the feelings that it evokes in them either it’s a connection from a child childhood home in the past it’s a smell from a home in the past a happy time in their life and it connects with them and the key to Zen is it doesn’t have to have Buddha statues it doesn’t have to be although those are my favorite as you know I got a Buddha we got Buddhas I got a big I got a big fat wooden Buddha yeah yeah which I got from I don’t know how Zen he is but he makes me feel good I rub his tummy every time I leave for good luck um but anyway um it’s really not just you know whatever Buddhist chanting in the background it’s just a good feeling what’s the Danish word remember there’s something hug Huga Huga is too I don’t know if I’m saying that right it’s like a cozy so we like Huga we like Zen and the key to all of those things declutter declutter declutter honestly it’s not about the palet it’s not about the Buddhas it’s about Simplicity yes and people see a home that is simple but but functional you have everything you need and not a bit more yep uh and there’s space and and it’s a peaceful feeling and people want to have that life now they will buy your Zen home and they will fill it with all our trash and it won’t be very Zen which is what we do which is what we do yeah but in terms of selling you’re going for the Zen Zen is uh get rid of the brick of bre yeah the Zen is a good place to be yeah get rid of the Bricker Breck get rid of anything extra and I mean I’m just as guilty as everybody else I I I somehow I have things from my parents house from my in-law’s house from every person that has died somehow grav it lands in my house well also I have two malan NOS I would not describe them as Zen they’re not Zen yeah but when we’re buying we like Zen but yeah when I go in a house that is properly you know just decluttered it just just feels so refreshing yeah it feels like it doesn’t you know what it is it doesn’t feel chaotic yes it’s like this home is calm this home is cool and collected another key to Zen is a a pallet that coordinates throughout the home now if you have kids you know I want a purple room I you know you have some of that but a home where all of the rooms may not necessarily be the same color but it’s on the same palette all the pictures go together it gives a a coordinated sort of Harmony to the home that is Z yeah yeah and it’s a very calming thing I love going in a house like that especially when I’m showing 10 houses and I go in one it’s like I mean you cannot you really feel it it’s a it’s a it’s a real feeling it’s a visceral thing I mean you get in there and you’re like you know what I mean um you you just feel it in your shoulders so try hard to be Zen and Zen can be beautiful flowers and plants and you know nature a lot of nature not too much of anything not too yes simp not too much of anything not too much of just enough of everything that’s it yeah and it could be a complete lie you Mayan not live that life that might not be you but we’re telling you as Buyer Agents if our clients say Zen they’re probably going to buy you they’re like oh I love it I love how I feel I love how I feel in this house and that’s how everyone should feel you know so I’m working out of my own house it’s it’s a work in progress work in progress but I do appreciate a good Zen yes what’s the other word hooi h Huga Huga H yeah either one of those it makes me feel good cozy I dig it I dig that cozy
