Spend Less Time on the Market With an Open House and Proper Home Staging

Before you put your house on the market, consider the best way to sell your house: professional home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include fewer days on the market and better offers. And you should definitely try professional home staging if you need a fast home sale.

Think of staging your house as creating a "style" for your house the same way a publicist would do for a well-known celebrity. Just like creating a style attracts more popularity for a public figure, staging makes your house a more desirable listing on the market.

Preparing your property for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as a nerve-racking experience. At times, it's a fun and inventive activity. Together, we'll strive for a premium bid for your home's sale. Below are a few home staging pointers to get you going:

Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the exterior of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from a street perspective. What do you notice first? What great features seem hidden?Acknowledging this helps us to decide what measures we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with refreshed paint and blooming garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer picture themselves enjoying game night in your living room, reading a good book in your master bedroom or getting work done in your home office? I want your home to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of easy living. I'll help you do this by suggesting small improvements that enhance the features of your house. I'll help you take away anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be free and clear. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator artwork should get moved out of sight. You need to "generalize" the house so buyers can envision it as their new home.

I'll look over every room of your home. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to get changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively influence the sale.

I'll make sure your house has mass appeal and that it's inviting, steering clear of "offensive" or "can't-work-with" hues on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can try borrowing furnishings. The goal is for your home to look homey as opposed to bare.

Setting the Stage

During your Open House, we want to capture buyers' attention. Brightening up your interior is critical, so we'll do things like part the curtains and create light where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a nice scent circulates from every room. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your chairs and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your home is their future home.
