Careful home staging is a surefire strategy applied to sell a house here in Santa Rosa. Home staging benefits include less time on the market and higher bids. If you want to sell your home quickly, go for a thoroughly thought out approach to home staging.
Think of staging your home as creating a "style" for your house the same way a publicist would do for a high profile entertainer. Just like creating an image garners more popularity for a public figure, staging makes your real estate a more desirable listing on the market.
Making ready your home 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 a top dollar bid for your property. Use these home staging tips to get you going:
Start with the exterior of your house, or your curb appeal. Examine the exterior of your home from a quick glance from the street. What do you notice first? What awesome features seem to fade into the background?Understanding this helps us to choose what steps we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't pretty on the outside with refreshed paint and bright greenery we'll need to tackle those issues. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your home's final selling price.
Can buyers see themselves lounging in your living space, reading a good book in your master bedroom or studying in your home office? I want your house to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of contentment. I'll help you achieve this by suggesting changes that enhance your home's features.
I'll suggest that you eliminate anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be neatly arranged. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to "neutralize" the house so buyers can perceive it as their new home.
I know exactly where a room's best characteristics are and how to show them off. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively influence the sale.
I'll make sure your home has mass appeal and that it's comfortable, avoiding "loud" or "personalized" shades on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can consider renting furnishings. The goal is for your house to look inviting as opposed to deserted.
Setting the Stage
During your Open House, we want to capture buyers' attention.
Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and reduce shadows where needed to show off your property. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests tour your home and make sure a pleasant scent circulates from every area. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your chairs and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current home is their future home.
