A new year usually means new goals and, hopefully, new accomplishments. If selling your home is on that long list of things you’d like to get done in 2015, Island Living Real Estate has some suggestions on how you can accomplish that goal with these simple tips.

Declutter

The first thing you should do, says Rachel Pinder, Broker/Appraiser at Island Living Real Estate, is to declutter your home after the Christmas rush. “When you are taking all of your decorations down after the holidays, that’s a perfect time to declutter your home and get rid of everything you did not use in 2014,” says Rachel.

Repair

After the holidays is also a good time to make any repairs that may be needed, and clean up the exterior of your house to boost that…

Everyone knows the holidays can be a crazy time of year. Family and social commitments, Christmas shopping and all of those holiday parties leave little time for much else. House hunting is probably not on many people’s list of ‘Things-to-Do” during this time of year. So does it make sense to list your home or property during the busy holiday period? Well that depends, says Heather Carey, Estate Agent at Island Living Real Estate. “With the advent of the Internet, the holidays could be a great time to list your home,” says Heather. “In the Bahamas in particular, where the ex-pat buyer market is so strong, a lot of property buyers are on the island for the winter looking for homes.” Heather says that while the holiday season can seem hectic for many, a…

Did you know that only 10% of potential home buyers can see past the personal tastes of home owners, whether it’s paint colour, window treatments or clutter? That’s why home staging might be a good option if you’re looking to sell your home. Home staging is the art of professionally preparing homes for sale by creating inviting and warm interiors that appeal to a wide variety of buyers. With so many homes on the market, it’s important to make yours the one that buyers remember by showing off your home’s potential. The first impression is a lasting one, and if your home is messy or badly furnished you could lose a buyer.

Sara Saunders, of Homestaging Bahamas says not many people can see the potential of a home. “Many buyers don’t realize how easy it…

You will need it to enjoy a full day of action! The thrill of the high speed boat alone is worth the experience, but this day trip has everything and includes everything: delicious food, cold drinks (full bar), shark wrangling, stingray feeding, snorkeling, nature trails and a visit to more than one Exuma Island!

So you have never been to a quiet Bahamian “Out Island?” Get the ‘out island experience’ right here on the island of New Providence! (Nassau is the old town, not the name of the island in case you did not know.) Take a leisurely drive past the airport to Coral Harbour, a lovely little residential fishing village on the south west coast. Along the ‘beach road’ you will find the Sand Bar (shhh, it’s a well-kept secret). Drinks are cheap like the plastic patio furniture, and the food is strictly “island style”. A Bahamian breakfast favorite is stew fish (savory tomato gravy that smothers fried fish, onion and a few pieces of potato) served with grits or ‘Johnny cake’. If you are calorie conscious try the Boil Fish instead. Once you try that you’re hooked…
