Home Staging Tips

Before you put your residence on the market, consider the best way to sell your house: careful home staging. Home staging benefits include fewer days on the market and higher selling prices. If you want to sell your home quickly, think about a thoroughly thought out home staging strategy.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for sale. Staging centers on on your home's presentation to buyers while showing off the details of your home with thoughtfully placed furniture and pictures so that your home seems more open and buyers can imagine living in your home.

Prepping your property for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as a nerve-racking experience. It can actually be a blast. Together, we'll work to get a top dollar offer for your house. Below are a few home staging tricks to get you started:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to make a strong first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers form their first perception of your house and how you perform home's regular maintenance.Understanding this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with refreshed paint and blooming garden plants we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Walking-through your home with a critical eye, I'll recommend changes that build up market appeal. I'll help you put in storage items that give the impression of clutter. Table and counter tops should be neatly arranged. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Disheveled or messy places make your home look smaller and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves living there.

Every room gets a once-over. Improvements that directly affect your dollars include fixable like pieces of furniture that should get rearranged, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need washing

I'll make sure that your home has mass appeal and that it's comfortable, staying away from "loud" or "can't-work-with" hues on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can consider temporary furnishings. The goal is for your home to look inviting as opposed to cold and empty.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to host an Open House, because all of the changes come together to set the stage for what buyers can expect after they choose to buy your house. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and make sure a nice fragrance circulates throughout your home. We'll add cozy-looking blankets, and pillows on your sofa and bed. Buyers should feel like your current home is their future home.
