Before listing your home, it’s essential to ensure it’s in its best possible condition.

Here’s how to prepare your historic property for a successful sale:

Preservation First:

Focus on maintaining or restoring original features like hardwood floors, moldings, and fireplaces. These elements are often what attract buyers to historic homes.

Curb Appeal:
Enhance your home’s exterior with period-appropriate landscaping and fresh paint that complements its architectural style.

Staging for Success:
Consider professional staging to highlight the home’s unique charm. Use period-appropriate furnishings to evoke the era in which the home was built.

Pricing a historic home can be challenging because of its unique features and potential restoration needs. We conduct a thorough market analysis to find the perfect balance between your home’s historical value and current market conditions.

Market Analysis:
We consider comparable sales, the condition of your home, and its architectural significance when determining its value.

Historical Value:
If your home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places or located in a designated historic district, it may have additional value based on its historical significance.

Restoration Potential:
Homes that require significant restoration may appeal to a specific buyer segment interested in renovation projects. We adjust our pricing strategy to reflect this.

Marketing a historic home requires more than just listing it online. We use a combination of digital marketing, storytelling, and targeted outreach to showcase your property’s unique features and history.

Professional Photography & Video:
High-quality photos and videos are essential to capture the character and charm of a historic home. We include virtual tours and drone footage to provide an immersive experience.

Story-Driven Marketing:
We tell the story of your home, highlighting its history, architectural details, and any unique features. This approach helps connect emotionally with buyers who appreciate vintage properties.

Targeted Digital Ads:
We use social media, Google Ads, and email campaigns to reach buyers who are specifically interested in historic homes and vintage architecture.

Many historic homes are located in designated districts or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While these designations can add value, they often come with guidelines that must be followed when making changes to the property.

Preservation District Rules:
Local regulations may restrict certain exterior alterations to maintain the historical integrity of the neighborhood.

National Register Listing:
If your home is listed on the National Register, it may qualify for tax credits or grants, but you may also need to follow specific preservation standards.

Renovation Tips:
Consult with a preservation specialist before making any changes to your home. We can connect you with trusted experts who understand the nuances of historic properties.
