As our Real Estate Market starts to correct itself, homes may have a difficult time selling and are on the market for longer periods of time. With this in mind it is even MORE important that your home has an ‘edge’. The art of Home Staging is that edge. It is always to your advantage to prepare your home for sale and doing it properly is most important.
Your house is now a product and as such it’s not about your taste anymore - it’s about selling that product. It’s that simple. Speed is important when getting your house ready to sell and emotion has no part in this equation. Your home has to now connect with strangers immediately that they walk through your door. People will be positive or negative about your home within a few minutes and spending more time there will only build on that feeling. So making a positive and strong first impression is vitally important.
A detached view is needed when preparing a house for sale and that is the job of the Home Stager. We create a strong first impression by taking out the religious icons, the toys, pet things, personal items. We help to create a neutral environment that appeals to many people but with a generic ‘clue’ to having a life – anyone’s life - there.
A fresh coat of paint in key areas is sometimes all it takes, other times quite a change in color needs to happen. Using bright accent pieces in ‘quiet corners’ will change the appearance of a room…your house needs to appear to be cared for in different and important ways. Flowers and plants on a minimal scale make a home feel fresh, clean and stunning if used in the right ways. Remember that it’s often the ‘little’ things that can make all the difference and step up an atmosphere to a different level. Remember that Staged homes have a proven success rate – they show better than competing homes and they often sell for considerably more money and in substantially less time than non-staged homes in the market place. Photos of staged homes look much better in the advertising and they are recognized as properties ready to sell and are recognized by the buyers as the homes they would most like to see.
Take the market advantage, maximize your property’s sales appeal quickly and affordably. Use the proven set of guidelines of the Home Stager and have your home be the most professional and inviting home on the market in your price range incorporating both interior and exterior enhancements suggested by your Home Stager.
