How Staging Can Help You
“The purpose of staging is not just to
sell the house but to sell it at an optimum price”.
Your house is probably your largest asset. Selling
it can be one of the most important decisions in your life. Do you
want to ensure your house sells fast and for top dollar?
Think about this...What kind of experience
do you want 30 days from now? Do you want to have your house sitting on the
market or do you want to be getting on with your life? The most critical
time frame for selling your property is the first 30 days, because the
first 2 weeks generates a flurry of activity. That is when curiosity is
piqued, interest is generated, brokers and real estate agents tour.
When you list a house for sale it becomes a
product. Just like other commodities for sale, your house must be SEEN
in order for it to SELL.
“To sell quickly, it needs to stand out from
similar products that are on the market”.
Staging a property is a smart investment!
It sends the message of a well cared-for home. By creating a series of
first impressions, and showcasing your home’s best features, the
homebuyer connects emotionally and is able to visualize living there.
You're setting a mood, and you're showcasing the
lifestyle you could lead in this home that it gives the illusion that
you're not desperate to sell your home. "People will think that they
had better hurry up and buy it or somebody else will”.
Benefits of Hiring a Home
Stager
"There
is so much competition you have to do something different than the others".
Have you ever toured through a development of model homes? The paint
is fresh, appliances are shiny, there is artwork arranged
around the house, and beautiful flower arrangements stand on the kitchen
counter. Mirrors are sparkling, towels fresh, and there are no
toys on the floor. The rooms look spacious and the furniture
comfortable.
The kitchens and bathrooms are polished, smelling fresh, and
clutter is not to be seen. The closets are empty or organized.
The garage floor is clean and neat and looks much larger
than you'd need for two cars.
Now leave the development of models and go down the street where the
homes are several years old. Children's toys are stacked in the family room.
So many boxes are piled in the garage that you couldn't park even one car
there. Clothes fill the bedroom closets and the “overflow from the
closets” fills the hall closet. The house isn't dirty, but there are
dishes in the kitchen sink and toothpaste stuck on the bathroom vanity.
Homework is spread out on the dining room table. The family dog is yapping
because of the strangers in the house and the floors are scratched. Dead
plants "welcome" you at the front door.
With all other things being equal, which house
would be more appealing to you? Of course, the first one! The homes may
be the same size, but because of the clear layout, the first home seemed
much larger. The house was prepared to
show off all the good points and none of the bad.
There
is no need for you to feel that they have to start from scratch to have a
warm, inviting home. With proper furniture placement and artistic
application of your own things, redesign or home staging will provide you
with a space you are delighted to be in.
