As you are placing your residence on the market, consider a proven way to sell your house: careful home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include fewer days on the market and higher selling prices. And you should certainly 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 while showing off the features of your home with thoughtfully placed furniture and decorations so that your home appears more spacious and buyers can imagine living in your home.
Staging your home for an Open House doesn't have to be a nerve-racking experience. It can turn into a fun and creative activity. Together, we'll strive for a top dollar bid for your home. Below are a few home staging tricks to get you going:
Curb appeal is your only chance to make a great first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers create their initial opinion of your house and how you upkeep house's regular maintenance.Understanding this assists us in determining what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with touched up paint and blooming garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your house's final selling price.
Can buyers see themselves hanging out in your living room, unwinding in your reading nook or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your dining room? I want your house to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of comfort. I'll help you do this by recommending small improvements that enhance your house's features.
I'll advise you put out of sight items that give the impression of clutter. Tabletops should be free and clear. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' drawings should get stored away too. You need to "de-personalize" the house so buyers can envision it as their new house.
I'll look over each room of your home. Improvements that directly affect your bottom line include fixable like pieces of furniture that should get removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need washing
I'll make sure that your house is likable and that it's welcoming, avoiding "offensive" or "can't-work-with" colors on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can consider renting furnishings. The goal is for your home to look inviting as opposed to bare and uninhabited.
Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when to show your home, because all of the changes come together to paint a picture of what buyers can expect after they choose to buy your house.
Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and change light bulbs where needed to show off your home. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a delightful aroma circulates room-to-room. We'll make use of cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your love seat and bed. We want buyers to feel like your house has the potential to be.
