Did you know that 95% of buyers buy their new homes on emotion? Your first impression of your home is so important and it needs to be at its very best. You need to be right up front with your best impact for your potential buyer.
As a Professional Home Stager I often find that one of the areas I spend most of my time working with is the furniture, artwork and collectibles to optimize their arrangement. Most people have far more furniture in their homes than is necessary and this is made glaringly obvious once that house is on the market. We ‘live’ in our homes over a period of years and don’t consciously realize that we are filling it up with more and more ‘stuff’. Some of the very best pieces are not used to their full potential because they are hidden by all the other things around them. By using less furniture we can create a sense of breathing space. You need to place furniture correctly to highlight the room’s focal points and maximize the plus’s of your rooms. Replace family photos with scenic pictures that won’t necessarily draw the buyer’s interest. You want them to study the rooms and their space and not your family members!
Many homes need their accessorizing tweaked…for instance their lighting, plants, linens etc. This is individual with each and every home and a professional Home Stager specializes in knowing what motivates potential buyers. We will use those tricks of the trade to help you the Home Seller get your house ready to come out on top of the sellers market.
Many home owners decide that once they move they want me to come and help with their new homes because they don’t want to go back to their ‘old’ way of living. Several people decide that once some of their ‘stuff’ is in storage they don’t actually miss it! They find they want to live in their new fresh, clean and clutter–free environment. After all Home Staging is in fact a cleansing experience and most home sellers very much enjoy the process.
