How To Stage Your Home for Sale
Professional home staging is a tried and true approach used to sell a home here in Glendale, Arizona. Some advantages to home staging include less time on the market and more offers. If you want to sell your home quickly, consider a well-planned home staging strategy.
Think of staging your home as creating an "image" for your home similar to what a manager would do for a popular entertainer. Just like creating an image garners the spotlight to a public figure, staging makes your home more inviting on the market.
Staging your house for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as a problem. At times, it's an eye-opening and inventive activity. Together, we'll work to get a premium offer for your home's sale. Begin with these home staging tips and you'll notice that your house sits fewer weeks on the market after listing:
Curb Appeal Checklist
First, look at the outside of your home, also called your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What dollar-earning features seem hidden?Knowing this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with refreshed paint and colorful greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your home's final selling price.
Welcome Home Checklist
Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Touring your home with a critical eye, I'll recommend fixes that enhance market appeal.
I'll suggest that you take away anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Table and counter tops should be cleared off. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' works of art should get moved out of sight. You need to "neutralize" the home so buyers can envision it as their new home.
I know instantly where a room's best features are and how to show them off. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need shining, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.
With me by your side, you'll know that your home is neutral and that it's welcoming, staying away from "loud" or "too-bright" colors on the walls and furniture. And if the house is empty, you can consider renting furniture. You want your home to look lived in as opposed to abandoned.
Setting the Stage
I'll tell you when for the Open House, because all of the changes come together to create a picture of what buyers can expect after they choose to buy your house. Brightening up your interior is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and reduce shadows where needed to show off your home. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and assure a pleasing aroma circulates throughout your house. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your sofa and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your home is their future home.
