Offering your home to the market, you’ll want it to sell quickly and for the highest amount possible. Staging will highlight the the best features of your home, such as enhancing dramatic architecture, gourmet kitchen or spectacular yard. Also staging can de-emphaise any possible negative aspects of your home like an outdated bathroom. Staging by a professional can set your home apart from similar homes in your neighborhood that are for sale.
When working as a buyer’s agent, after showing properties I’ll ask my client what home they liked best. Most of the time it will be a clean professionally staged home. In today’s world of working couples or families with busy schedules home buyers want to move in and live their life Vs handling a major remodel.
- A few key items you can do to get ready to market your home:
- Remove family photos, personal collections and any items related to religious or political items
- Keep the house smelling freshremove old shoes, eliminate pet smells, smoking and cooking odors.
- Organize your home, unclutter!
- Keep fresh bedding plants in the front yard, make sure the lawn is green and healthy looking.
- Wash windows and if possible (safety first) remove window screens to allow more light in.
- Keep lights on and play soft music when buyers come to view.
As a seller’s agent, I suggest a professional stager who will bring out the best of your house. Professional stagers understand what today’s buyers are seeking and can create a sense of space, color and light. Showcasing your home at it’s best.
