Home Staging Tips

Before you put your home on the market, consider the best way to sell your house: well-planned home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and better offers. And you should certainly consider professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for an Open House. Staging focuses on your home's presentation to buyers while highlighting the characteristics of your home with thoughtfully placed furnishings and decorations so that your home seems more open and buyers can imagine living in your home.

Together, we'll work to get an exceptional offer for your home's sale. Begin with this home staging advice and you'll see that your home spends fewer months on the market after listing:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your only chance to make a positive impact on buyers from a street perspective. The positive and negative features that jump out at buyers form their first perception of your house and how you perform house's regular maintenance.Knowing this helps us to decide what steps 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 colorful greenery we'll need to tackle those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Touring your property with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend arrangements that build up market appeal. I'll suggest that you put out of sight pieces that give the impression of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' artwork should get stored away too. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Less than inviting or messy spots make your home feel unkempt and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves living there.

Every area gets a once-over. I'll point out 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 brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively influence the sale.

Buyers' agents know that their clients want to see a property that brings them inside. Personal items that could be uninviting should be removed so that your house will have general appeal at the open house.

Setting the Stage

In every opportunity, we want to capture buyers' attention. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and change light bulbs where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing lightly and assure a pleasing scent flows throughout your home. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your couch and bed. We want buyers to feel like your current house has the potential to be.
