Why should you “stage”® your home? Your home is your largest asset, and it deserves special attention when you decide to sell. It needs to project a warm, emotionally appealing environment. Also -
- If you have too much or too little in a house, it is difficult for many buyers to mentally move in their OWN furnishings.
- Most buyers know only what they actually see – not what the house’s potential may be.
- Staged homes sell faster and for more money in most markets.
- Most of all, staging creates a great first impression!
When should staging® occur? As soon as you decide to sell your home! This means before ANYONE sees your home - before any brokers’ opens, before the sign goes in the ground, before any open house. The first glimpse people get of your home creates a lasting impression. Buyers can determine in a few seconds whether the home appeals to them or not.
Can you stage® your home yourself? Of course! The first priority is to CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN – especially windows, bathrooms and kitchens. Next, DECLUTTER. You have to pack all of your things eventually. Do it now! DEPERSONALIZE by removing family pictures and collections. People aren’t buying your “things”, they’re buying your house!
