This part of the home runs neck and neck with the kitchen for being the most critical to selling a house fast. The decision makers of a family are going to be the ones residing in this area of the home so it makes all the sense in the world to make sure that it is impressive. If you are trying to learn how to sell a house fast, pay very close attention to the master bedroom.
It does not have to be huge, but it should be able to fit AT LEAST a queen size bed. This supercedes all other home selling tips for this room since most buyers will not even consider a house if the master bedroom is tiny. Another way to make the master bedroom appear larger is to add a trey or vaulted ceiling. This will improve the buyer’s perception of the size of the room.
Lighting is also a key component to setting the mood in the master bedroom. You can’t go wrong with plenty of natural light as well as recessed lighting (ideally with dimmer switches that can help set the mood). If you really want to stay cheap, you can always brigthen up a room with some strategically placed lamps.
The master closet is a very important part of this area so you should do everything in your power to make your master closet as nice and large as possible. To enhance it, you should consider installing an organizer system. This will add more stature to the closet without taking much away from the budget. These organizer systems are especially important in homes that have small master bedroom closets. In these homes, it is essential to SHOW buyers how they are going to survive with such limited closet space. A well set up organizer system can transform a BIG negative into a positive because it will demonstrate to buyers how to fit much more than they could possibly imagine into that space.

I like the idea about closet organizers…have got a few listings that those would help with.
I couldn’t agree more…it’s impossible to sell listings with small master bedrooms!
We simply won’t do a renovation unless the master bedroom is going to be impressive…it’s just not worth taking any chances these days.
A small master bedroom is not the end of the world AS LONG as you have a kitchen and neigbhorhood to die for
