As a homeowner preparing to put your home on the market have you ever found yourself thinking?
- The house will sell; we don't have to do anything to it.
- I would rather let the new owners do what they would like to the house after they buy it.
- I don't want to spend any more money on this house, it looks fine.
- The way you live in a house is perfectly fine for putting it on the market.
- I'll move out, the house will show better empty.
- If it doesn't sell, THEN I'll consider staging it.
These misconceptions can cost you time and money. These days other houses on the market competing for that buyer are staged and show and sell quickly. Few are willing to buy a house that looks tired, overwhelming, impersonal or cluttered. Buyers are looking for a house they can identify with, afford, and offers something more than they expected, as well as the ability to move in quickly and easily.
First impressions are so very important! When a staged home appears on the market it stands out so that most buyers will want to move quickly to purchase it fearing someone else will move on it before they do. They don't want to lose this opportunity.
Staging does not have to be costly or stressful. We can do as much or as little as you would like. By reworking your home's furnishings and creating space, warmth and function and highlighting your home's positive features we can prepare your home for a successful sale. The way you live and the way you show a house are two different things.
Depending on the condition of your home it can be very important that we get it ready prior to your contacting the Realtor.
Realtors will confirm the effectiveness of staging in saving you time and money.
The investment in staging is typically less than the cost of the first price reduction on an unsold home.
