It has been proven that many people could have sold their homes for much more than they did and in a shorter time period, if they had only "Staged" their home properly for sale.
Staging is the process of temporarily redecorating a house to facilitate a buyer's purchase. It has been proven that in a sluggish market, homes will sell for between 2% and 10% more by staging it for sale. In a competitive market where buyers get into bidding wars, the figures increase to between 20% and 50%.
Realtors have for years advised sellers on various techniques to help "sell their house" and make prospective buyers more comfortable and welcomed. From picking up clutter, to hiding dirty dishes in the dishwasher to burning scented candles that smell like apple pie! Preparing a house for sale goes far beyond such obvious tips.
You need to make the architectural features of your home prominent and show well. Buyers do not need to be "sold" on your personal belongings and decorating choices.
"The way you live in your home, and the way we need to market and sell your house, are two very different things."
Depending on what is required, you may Stage® a home by simply rearranging the existing furniture and accessories to showcase the house, removing the clutter and minimizing your personal items. Or there may be a requirement to empty the house and fill it with rented furniture. Some homes may require new linens, some accessories or where necessary, landscaping or re-painting.
Whatever amount of merchandising is done to prepare your home for sale, it will help you realize the most profit on your property. The cost of staging will always be less than your first price reduction!
Remember - as soon as you have decided to sell your home - it becomes a product that needs to be marketed. Create the best produce out there and you will far surpass the competition. |
