Home Staging Tips

Expert home staging is a tried and true approach used to sell a home here in Harmony. Some advantages to home staging include less time on the market and better offers. And you should certainly think about professional home staging if you need a fast home sale.

Think of staging your house as creating an "image" for your house similar to what a manager would do for a popular celebrity. Just like creating a style attracts the spotlight to a public figure, staging makes your real estate look better when it's on the market.

Prepping your home for an Open House doesn't have to be another hurdle in getting your home sold. It can actually be a blast. Together, we'll strive for an exceptional bid for your home. Below are a few home staging tips to get you going:

Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the outside of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the outside of your home from a street perspective. What jumps out at you? What great characteristics seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this helps us to choose what plan of action we can use to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't the best it can look on the outside with refreshed paint and blooming garden plants we'll need to address those issues. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer see themselves enjoying game night in your living room, reading a good book in your reading nook or studying in your home office? I want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of ease. I'll help you do this by recommending small improvements that enhance your home's features. I'll help you get rid of things that give the impression of clutter. Table and counter tops should be cleared off. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Ugly or dirty places make your home look smaller and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves living there.

I know exactly what a room's best characteristics are and how to highlight them. Enhancements that directly impact your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need cleaning.

Buyers want to see a home that charms them. Personal items that could be unsightly should be removed in order for your house to have likability at every showing.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when for the Open House, because all of the changes come together to create a picture of what buyers will expect when they consider buying your house. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like open curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and make sure a nice aroma flows from every area. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your chairs and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your current home is their future home.
