Home staging is part of preparing your home for sale. Staging centers on on your home's presentation to buyers while showing off the details of your home with strategically placed furnishings and artwork so that your home looks more open and buyers can envision their lives in your home.
Making ready your property for an Open House doesn't have to be another hurdle in getting your home sold. It can actually be enjoyable. Together, we'll strive for a premium bid for your house. Begin with this home staging advice and you'll notice that your home sits fewer days on the market after listing:
Start with the outside of your home, better known as your curb appeal. Examine the outside of your house from a street perspective. What do you notice first? What positive characteristics seem to fade into the background?Understanding this helps us to choose what measures we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with retouched paint and colorful greenery we'll need to address those issues. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.
Does your home seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Walking-through your house from a buyer's view, I'll suggest adjustments that enhance Open House appeal.
I'll help you put out of sight anything that gives the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be cleared off. Kitschy sculptures, souvenirs, family photos, and play time works of art should get moved out of sight. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Ugly or messy places make your home feel unkempt and buyers have a harder time picturing themselves living there.
I know instantly where a room's best features are and how to show them off. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively influence the sale.
Buyers expect a property that draws them in with charm. Everything that could be unsightly should get moved out in order for your house to garner mass appeal at the open house.
Setting the Stage
In every opportunity, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses.
Dark rooms can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and reduce shadows where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests tour your home and ensure a delightful scent flows throughout your house. We'll include cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your couch and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house is their future home.
