Buying quality pre-owned furniture is a great way of obtaining furnishings for your home immediately when you have a need for furnishing any room in your home. You may wish to use a furniture liquidator for these purposes, especially when you are in a temporary living arrangement, a brand new office space, or even if you are moving into an empty home and you have a tight budget. Any number of reasons is perfect for buying quality pre-owned furniture and it is a growing trend. Some people are simply not aware that pre-owned furniture stores and liquidation businesses even exist or are open to the public, but this growing trend offers several benefits including the ability to stage your home or to give your office a makeover on a shoestring budget. Home staging turns a regular house into a model home. Homes that are professionally staged with modern furniture generally net a considerable profit over the cost of the used furniture so it turns out to be well worth the price, even in you are not living in the property you are trying to sell.

5 Tips For Home Staging To Get Your Home Sold!

5 Tips For Home Staging To Get Your Home Sold!

We all keep hearing about how the real estate market is not what it used to be and how difficult it can be to get a home sold these days. When you don’t have a choice however, and you need to get your home sold, it is essential to do all you can to make your home stand out from all of the other inventory in your local market – and to get a good price for it! One strategy that has been proven to work time and time again is Home Staging.

Although there are professional home stagers that you could hire to help, it isn’t always necessary. It is fairly simple to stage your home yourself with these easy do-it-yourself home staging tips and ideas. The main goal is to make inexpensive changes that appeal to the masses of home buyers. Have fun!

Tip # 1 – Get Rid of Clutter

As home buyers walk through your home, don’t let their judgment be clouded by your clutter. Get organized and put things away – and get rid of things you know you don’t need. You want to show your home as spacious as possible and highlight the available storage by putting it to good use. If you have clutter and unnecessary pieces of furniture in your rooms, buyers will have a harder time picturing their own furniture in those spaces. If you are not willing to part with your things, AMC Liquidators offers plenty of furniture options for storage such as cabinets and armoires.

Tip # 2 – Put on a Fresh Coat of Paint

Whether you have kept all of your walls white or painted colors to suit your own tastes, this is not what appeals to the majority of home buyers. Choose light neutral paint colors for living spaces such as beige, taupe, or grey which will add warmth and style. A toned-down neutral green or blue is said to work well for bathrooms. According to real estate experts, this very inexpensive project is a proven crowd pleaser.

Tip # 3 – Take the Time to Make Repairs

Things that are in need of repair throughout your home should not be overlooked when you want to sell your home. Even items that seem very small to you may turn off potential buyers because making repairs after purchasing a home is not only a hassle but it costs money. Take the time to replace missing pieces of baseboard, fix or replace broken door knobs, replace broken light switches, etc. This extra step goes a long way in leaving a good impression on a potential buyers as you show your home.

Tip # 4 – Replace Outdated Light Fixtures

This tip is an easy way to instantly update the look of a room without a high price tag. If you have had the same light fixtures since you moved in to your home, this is a sure sign that they are likely outdated. Take a trip to AMC Liquidators or even your local hardware store and look for modern light fixtures that may be on sale or on clearance to give your room a new style.

Tip # 5 – Replace Old Furnishings

When it comes to home staging, this is a very important detail you do not want to leave out. Home buyers need to see the potential that homes on the market have in order to picture themselves living in them. Yes – new furniture can be expensive – but it doesn’t have to be! Look to furniture liquidators such as AMC Liquidators to purchase modern, stylish furniture at a fraction of the price you would expect to pay at a furniture retailer. Furniture liquidators are a great place to find eclectic furnishings that work well together for a new design in just about any space.

Go Green – It’s Easier Than You Think

In recent years, the concept of “going green” has not only increased in popularity in the average American home, but many companies are trying to “green it”, too. To go green makes sense, not just for the environment, but also for your company’s bottom line…as in dollars and cents. There are nearly endless possibilities for even the smallest companies to go green, and one of our best recommendations is to buy used office furniture. When you buy used office furniture, particularly from office furniture liquidators such as AMC Liquidators, you are doing your part to help sustain our environment by recycling. Essentially, you are cutting costs while keeping the furniture out of a landfill.

Benefits of Used Office Furniture

When you buy used office furniture there are certainly additional benefits besides the fact that you are likely to drastically cut costs when it comes to purchasing furnishings for your office. First of all, if your office is trying to “go green” and become one of the green companies on a rapidly growing list of businesses which are trying to make a difference, used office furniture from office furniture liquidators like AMC Liquidators can help you to meet your goal of LEED Certification by contributing to the number of credits you need according to the LEED rating system.

Secondly, when you buy used office furniture, you can save valuable time by getting your office up and running much more quickly. If you have ever ordered new office furniture from nearly any retailer, especially if it is a large order meant to furnish an entire office, it can take up to several weeks for delivery after you have made the order. On the other hand, if you look to office furniture liquidators that typically have a warehouse full of furniture on-site, you can pick out your merchandise and have it delivered sometimes as quickly as the next day in some cases.
When you make the decision to buy used office furniture, look to AMC Liquidators for all of your needs. We offer chairs, conference room tables, desks, file & storage cabinets, lobby furnishings and more. Be sure to check on our New Arrivals often! Deciding to go green is a big decision for businesses – we try to make it as easy as possible by offering used furniture for sale at great prices.

AMC Liquidators gets featured in the South Florida Business Journal

Former oil trader thrives as furniture liquidator
South Florida Business Journal - by Kevin Gale
The economic downturn is providing a fresh business opportunity for Michael Grimmé, CEO of AMC Liquidators. With designers and furniture retailers struggling, the Fort Lauderdale entrepreneur is filling up trailers with merchandise for resale, he said. "We are able to buy retail, first-grade goods inexpensively - in some cases cheaper than we were able to buy pre-owned goods in the past." Grimmé already had a 45,000-square-foot warehouse and retail location on Commercial Boulevard, but has bought the Carriage Trade consignment business on Las Olas Boulevard to directly target consumers seeking high-end merchandise.
