How to Stage a House to Sell
You may have heard that we now offer Home Staging as one of our additional services. Your home’s decor may perfectly reflect your style, but to buyers, it may feel dated or simply off-trend. Now that your goal for your current home is to sell it for top dollar (rather than live in it) it’s time to prepare the home for a potential buyer.
When it comes to selling your home, prospective buyers have expectations that they’re hoping to find in their dream home. Setting up your home to match with current trends can help buyers visualize themselves in your home and help you receive top dollar on the sale. Staging services include cleaning, rearranging furniture to create optimal flow, decluttering, redecorating, and other aesthetic strategies.
Why You Should Consider Staging Your Home
Staging is all about making a great first impression. Some areas of your home may have features that buyers would like to renovate or update. Staging helps show buyers what is possible in the space and encourages them that their dreams for the home are achievable.
According to the National Association of Realtors, home staging can give sellers a serious advantage. When compared to similar homes on the market nearby that were not staged, staged homes receive offers between one and five percent higher. We’ll help you out with the math on that - for a $300,000 home that equates to an increased profit of anywhere between $3,000 to $15,000!
Many buyers look at a home’s listing online before seeing it in person. Staging will help ensure that your listing’s pictures highlight all the potential and grab buyers' attention prompting them to schedule a viewing. 77% of buyers felt more able to see themselves moving into a staged home, and 40% were more willing to get in the car and visit a staged online find. Because of this, and the lovely inviting feel of a staged space, a staged home is likely to sell more quickly. If your goal is to get your home sold and moved into a new place quickly, staging can help send you one your way.
How We Stage Homes
Our first step will be an initial consultation. We will take a tour of your home and evaluate its current condition. We will then make recommendations on how to improve its overall appeal to potential buyers and marketability. With your approval, we’ll then put those suggestions into action and create the home of luxury and cleanliness that buyers are searching for.
Some of the suggestions we may make include things like
Moving around your furniture to create the illusion of more space and a better layout
Using your existing home decor items like vases, candles, throw pillows, serveware, plants, etc. to add homey touches that give the room a cohesive and cozy feel
Clean until the space feels fresh and new
Pack up about ⅓ of your personal items in each room to eliminate clutter and help buyers see themselves (rather than you) in the home.
Our Goal as stagers is to help you maximize the value of your property so that you can confidently move into the next chapter of your life. Staging naturally begins the packing process and helps you list your home with the confidence of knowing buyers are going to love what they see!
