How To Stage Your Home for Sale
If you'd like to know more about home staging to sell your property quickly in Austin, contact John Horton Realty and I'll clue you in to the fastest ways to sell your house.
Before you list your home for sale, consider a proven way to sell your house: careful home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and higher offers. And you should certainly decide on professional home staging if you need a fast home sale.
Think of staging your home as creating an "image" for your home the same way a manager would do for a popular entertainer. Just like creating an image attracts more popularity for a public figure, staging makes your home look better when it's on the market.
Making ready your property to sell doesn't have to be a problem. It can actually be a great time to let your creative juices flow. Together, we'll strive for an exceptional bid for your property. Start with this home staging advice and you'll see that your house sits fewer weeks on the market :
Curb appeal is your first chance to make a great first impression on buyers before they enter your house. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers form their initial perception of your home and how you keep up your house's regular maintenance.Knowing this assists us in deciding what steps we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with retouched paint and bright garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your house's final selling price.
Does your home seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Walking-through your house with a critical eye, I'll suggest changes that enhance sales appeal.
I'll advise you eliminate items that give the look of clutter. Table and counter tops should be free and clear. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' artwork should get stored away too. You need to "de-personalize" the home so buyers can perceive it as their new home.
I'll review each room of your home. Improvements that directly impact your sale price include fixable like pieces of furniture that should get rearranged, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need washing
Buyers want a residence that brings them inside. Everything that could be "loud" should be removed in order for your house to have general appeal while on the market.
Setting the Stage
At every showing, we want to engage the buyer's senses.
Brightening up your interior is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and ensure a pleasing scent circulates room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your couch and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current home is their future home.
