Prior to placing your home on the market, consider the best way to sell your house: professional home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include fewer days on the market and better offers. If you want to sell your home quickly, choose a thoroughly thought out approach to home staging.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for an Open House. Staging concentrates energy on your home's presentation to buyers while highlighting the features of your home with strategically placed furniture and decorations so that your home looks more open and buyers can imagine their lives in your home.

Preparing your property for an Open House doesn't have to be another hurdle in getting your house sold. Instead it can be a thrilling and creative activity. Together, we'll work to get a premium offer for your home. Below are a few home staging tricks to get you going:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to make a positive impact on buyers before they step foot into your house. The positive and negative features that jump out at buyers shape their initial perception of your home and how you upkeep home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with refreshed paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers see themselves enjoying game night in your living room, reading a good book in your reading nook or getting work done in your home office? I want your Open House to pleasantly accept buyers and offer them a sense of contentment. I'll help you achieve this by recommending changes that highlight the features of your property. I'll tell you reduce the effect of pieces that give the illusion of clutter. Counter tops should be cleared off. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and play time works of art should get moved out of sight. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Less than inviting or messy spots make your home seem smaller and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves calling your property "home".

Every room gets a once-over. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be put in storage, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

I'll make sure your home has mass appeal and that it's inviting, steering clear of "offensive" or "personalized" hues on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can think about temporary furnishings. The goal is for your home to look inviting as opposed to uninhabited.

Setting the Stage

At your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses. 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 softly and assure a nice scent flows room-to-room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your couch and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your house is their future home.
