Spend Less Time on the Market With an Open House and Home Staging Tips

Before you list your house for sale, consider a proven way to sell your house: well-planned home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include fewer days on the market and more offers. And you should certainly think about professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.

Think of staging your house as creating a "style" for your house like a manager would do for a well-known celebrity. Just like creating a style attracts more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your house more inviting on the market.

Making ready your home to sell doesn't have to be another hurdle in getting your house sold. It can actually be a blast. Together, we'll work to get a premium offer for your home. Below are a few home staging tricks to get you started:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your first chance to create a great first impression on buyers before they step foot into your home. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers shape their first opinion of your home and how you upkeep home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this assists us in deciding what plan of action we can use to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't pretty on the outside with touched up paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer picture themselves watching a movie in your living area, reading a good book in your master bedroom or studying in your home office? I want your house to welcome buyers and give them a sense of ease. I'll help you do this by recommending changes that enhance your house's features. I'll advise you put out of sight anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' works of art should get moved out of sight. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Unattractive or busy places make your home seem smaller and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves living there.

I know exactly what a room's best characteristics are and how to show them off. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, carpet needing to be changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively impact the sale.

Buyers' agents know that their clients like a home that invites them inside. Items that could be unsightly should get moved out in order for your home to garner mass appeal during any visit.

Setting the Stage

At every showing, we want to capture buyers' attention. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and create light where needed to show off your home. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests take a walk-through of your home and ensure a pleasant scent circulates room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your chairs and bed. We want buyers to feel like your home is their future home.
