Before you put your residence on the market, consider the best way to sell your house: professional home staging. Home staging benefits include less time on the market and more offers. And you should certainly try professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.
Look at staging your home as creating an "image" for your home like a publicist would do for a well-known entertainer. Just like creating a style attracts more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your home a more desirable listing on the market.
Preparing your property to sell doesn't have to be an annoying experience. At times, it's an eye-opening and creative task. Together, we'll strive for a top dollar offer for your home. Below are a few home staging tips to get you going:
First, look at the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your home from a street view. What jumps out at you? What awesome features seem to fade into the background?Knowing this assists us in deciding what steps we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't pretty on the outside with refreshed paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise 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 advise you of adjustments that enhance Open House appeal.
I'll help you get rid of anything that gives the impression of clutter. Table and counter tops should be free and clear. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator artwork should get moved out of sight. You need to remove the personal details from the home so buyers can imagine it as their new house.
I'll look over every room of your home. Changes that directly impact your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need cleaning.
With me by your side, you'll know that your house is likable and that it's welcoming, avoiding "offensive" or "too-bright" shades on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can consider borrowing furniture. The goal is for your home to look lived in as opposed to vacated.
Setting the Stage
During your Open House, we want to capture buyers' attention.
Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and add lighting where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests take a walk-through of your home and make sure a nice scent flows from every room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking throws, and place pillows on your chairs and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your current home has the potential to be.
