Prior to listing your house for sale, consider a proven way to sell your house: expert home staging. Some advantages to home staging include less time on the market and better offers. If your goal is to sell your home quickly, choose a well-planned home staging strategy.
Look at staging your house as creating an "image" for your home like a PR firm would do for a famous celebrity. Just like creating a style draws more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your home look better when it's on the market.
Making ready your property for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as a problem. It can actually be a blast. Together, we'll strive for a premium offer for your house. Below are a few home staging tips to get you going:
Start with the exterior of your home, or your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What dollar-earning characteristics seem to fade into the background?Knowing this assists us in determining what measures we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with retouched paint and colorful garden plants we'll need to tackle those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your house's final selling price.
Can buyers picture themselves hanging out in your living room, reading a good book in your reading nook or getting work done in your home office? I want your Open House to welcome buyers and give them a sense of easy living. I'll help you accomplish this by recommending changes that highlight the features of your house.
I'll help you eliminate anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be free and clear. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator works of art should get stored away too. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Less than inviting or cluttered places make your home look less spacious and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves living there.
I know exactly what a room's best characteristics are and how to show them off. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.
Potential buyers like a home that brings them inside. Everything that could be too personal should be removed so that your house will have general appeal at the open house.
Setting the Stage
During your Open House, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses.
Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and ensure a pleasing scent circulates room-to-room. We'll make use of cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your chairs and bedding. Buyers should feel like your home has the potential to be.
