If you'd like to know the details of home staging to sell your house quickly in DuBois, contact Hoffer Realty Associates and I'll assist you with designing the best image for your house.
As you are placing your residence on the market, consider a surefire way to sell your house: well-planned home staging. Some advantages to home staging include fewer days on the market and more offers. And you should definitely think about professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.
Home staging is part of preparing your home for sale. Staging concentrates energy on your home's presentation to buyers while highlighting the features of your home with thoughtfully placed furniture and pictures so that your home seems bigger and buyers can imagine their lives in your home.
Prepping your house for an Open House doesn't have to be a nerve-racking experience. Instead it can be an eye-opening and creative project. Together, we'll work to get a top dollar offer for your home. Below are a few home staging tricks to get you going:
Start with the outside of your home, also called your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the exterior of your home from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What wonderful features seem hidden?Acknowledging this helps us to choose what actions we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with touched up paint and colorful greenery we'll need to address those issues. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.
Can buyers picture themselves lounging in your living room, relaxing in your reading nook or getting work done in your home office? I want your home to welcome buyers and give them a sense of contentment. I'll help you accomplish this by recommending small improvements that enhance your home's features.
I'll tell you reduce the effect of anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Tabletops should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get stored away too. You need to "de-personalize" the home so buyers can picture it as their new home.
I'll review every room of your home. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that could use polishing, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively impact the sale.
I'll make sure your home has mass appeal and that it's welcoming, steering clear of "loud" or "personalized" colors on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can try borrowing furnishings. The goal is for your home to look homey as opposed to bare and uninhabited.
Setting the Stage
At your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses.
Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and reduce shadows where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a pleasing fragrance circulates from every room. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your chairs and bed. Buyers should feel like your current house has the potential to be.
