Staging to Sell

Prior to putting your home on the market, consider a surefire way to sell your house: expert home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and more offers. And you should certainly consider 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 while showing off the details of your home with thoughtfully placed furniture and decorations so that your home appears more open and buyers can envision their lives in your home.

Making ready your home for an Open House doesn't have to be a nerve-racking experience. Instead it can be an eye-opening and inventive task. Together, we'll work to get a top dollar offer for your house. Below are a few home staging tips to get you started:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your first chance to make a positive impact on buyers from a street perspective. The positive and negative features that jump out at buyers shape their first thoughts about your home and how you perform house's regular maintenance.Knowing this helps us to choose what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with touched up paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Examining your home with a critical eye, I'll recommend fixes that improve sales appeal. I'll advise you eliminate anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Tabletops should be free and clear. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and play time works of art should get moved out of sight. You need to "generalize" the home so buyers can envision it as their new home.

I know instantly what a room's best features are and how to highlight them. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that need polishing, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.

Potential buyers want to see a property that invites them inside. Everything that could be "loud" should be put away so that your home will impress buyers while on the market.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to show your house, because all of the changes come together to paint a picture of what buyers will expect after they choose to buy your house. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like open curtains and add lighting where needed to show off your house. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and make sure a delightful fragrance flows room-to-room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your chairs and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current home has the potential to be.
