Staging to Sell

Before you list your house for sale, consider a surefire way to sell your house: well-planned home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include fewer days on the market and more offers. And you should definitely try professional home staging if you need a fast home sale.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for sale. Staging focuses on your home's presentation to buyers and buyers' agents while showing off the characteristics of your home with thoughtfully placed furnishings and pictures so that your home feels more spacious and buyers can imagine their lives in your home.

Staging your home to sell shouldn't be thought of as a nerve-racking experience. Instead it can be a fun and inventive activity. Together, we'll work to get a premium offer for your home. So, for fewer days on the market in DuBois, employ these interior staging tips:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Start with the exterior 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 dollar-earning characteristics seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this helps us to decide what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your home isn't at its best on the outside with touched up paint and colorful greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer picture themselves hanging out in your living space, unwinding 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 ease. I'll help you achieve this by recommending changes that enhance your home's features. I'll suggest that you put in storage anything that gives the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be cleared off. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and play time drawings should get stored away too. You need to give mass appeal to the home so buyers can picture it as their new house.

I'll look over every room of your home. I'll note 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 affect the sale.

I'll make sure that your home is neutral and that it's comfortable, steering clear of "offensive" or "can't-work-with" hues on the walls and furniture. And if the house is empty, you can consider renting furnishings. You want your house to look homey as opposed to bare and uninhabited.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to show your house, because all of the improvements mesh together to set the stage for what buyers can envision after they close on your house. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing lightly and make sure a pleasing fragrance flows from every room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your sofa and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your home has the potential to be.
