Putting Your Best Foot Forward

Now that your home is on the market – you need to maximize your selling price with a professional Home Stager. Your home needs to be at it’s very best to make a strong positive impact inside and out for a first impression with a prospective buyer.

When Home Staging a house for sale my services are tailored to the unique needs of each and every client but there are certain enhancements needed that all clients have in common. The most important one is de-cluttering. You want a buyer to be able to ‘picture himself’ living in your home and he won’t be able to do that when it is cluttered with your personality. Quite simply…clutter turns buyers away. So purge your closets, empty cupboards, box up everything that is not needed and if you must - rent a storage locker. Set up boxes for the Good Will, a friend needing some items, some to store and frankly some to just throw away. I can almost guarantee that what you now don’t see you won’t miss while your home is on the market. So be ruthless – “edit” your house and pare it right down. Let the prospective purchaser have a chance to picture himself living happily in your home.

To maximize your sale and to decrease it’s time on the market it is important to hire a professional with the skills to create wonderful environments and inviting atmospheres in your home. Staged homes show better than competing homes for sale and are recognized by buyers as the best properties to see.
