Professional home staging is a tried and true technique applied to sell a home here in Santa Rosa. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and higher selling prices. And you should certainly consider professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.
Staging your house in Santa Rosa is all about marketing a lifestyle. You want buyers to imagine themselves living and lounging in your home. You want them to see your current home as their next house.
Preparing your house for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as another hurdle in getting your house sold. At times, it's a thrilling and inventive project. Together, we'll strive for an exceptional bid for your home. Start with these home staging tips and you'll see that your house spends fewer days on the market after listing:
First, look at the exterior of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the outside of your house from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What dollar-earning features seem hidden?Knowing this helps us to decide what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with refreshed paint and bright garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.
Does your home seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Walking-through your home with a buyer's eye, I'll advise you of arrangements that enhance sales appeal.
I'll advise you put in storage items that give the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be free and clear. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get moved out of sight. You need to "neutralize" the home so buyers can perceive it as their new home.
I know instantly where a room's best characteristics are and how to highlight them. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that need shining, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively impact the sale.
Buyers expect a home that draws them in with charm. Personal items that could be "offensive" should go into storage so that your home will garner mass appeal at the open house.
Setting the Stage
In every opportunity, we want to engage the buyer's senses.
Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like open curtains and change light bulbs where needed to show off your house. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing lightly and ensure a pleasing scent flows room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your sofa and bedding. Buyers should feel like your house has the potential to be.
