Stage It and Sell It!

Dress to Impress

Home staging is like dressing to impress and showing off like nobody’s business. It’s also about detailing and de-cluttering every visible space to showcase the floor space and encourage one to imagine the possibilities. Home staging creates an inviting feeling and flow to a home, which improves the open house experience for your visitors.

Buyers only know what they see most of the time. A lot of people are visual and can’t see what is not there. What I mean by that, is they are unable to see what a fresh coat of paint, new molding, new doors, new window treatments, etc. could do for a home with minimal cost and labor. It is important that your Realtor assist you with seeing the jewel or gem inside the home. A professional home decorator can also be valuable if you have one in your local area.

Staging the home/yard does not always cost a lot of money. Most of the time you simple use what the homeowner already has available. First you de-clutter the room of any extras and put them in storage out of sight. It is amazing how large the rooms appear when you are not utilizing every square inch of floor space and wall space.

Don’t fight the structure of the home itself. Use the natural walls, framing etc to enhance and honor its integrity and floor plan. Sellers, don’t take this personally. Your choice and your taste are truly yours but may not be what the majority of buyers are looking for in their next home purchase.
