Prior to putting your residence on the market, consider the best way to sell your house: careful home staging. Some advantages to home staging include fewer days on the market and more offers. If your goal is to sell your house quickly, go for a well-planned home staging strategy.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for an Open House. Staging focuses on your home's presentation to buyers and buyers' agents while highlighting the details of your home with thoughtfully placed furniture and artwork so that your home appears bigger and buyers can imagine living in your home.

Prepping your home for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as an annoying experience. It can turn into a fun and inventive project. Together, we'll strive for an exceptional bid for your property. Below are a few home staging tips to get you going:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your only chance to create a strong first impression on buyers before they walk into your home. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers form their first thoughts about your home and how you perform home's regular maintenance.Acknowledging this assists us in determining what steps we can take to draw buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't at its best on the outside with retouched paint and blooming greenery we'll need to address those as well. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Could a buyer see themselves watching a movie in your living room, reading a good book in your reading nook or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your dining room? I want your home to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of contentment. I'll help you do this by recommending changes that highlight your home's features. I'll advise you put in storage pieces that give the look of clutter. Tabletops should be cleared off. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and refrigerator works of art should get stored away too. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Unattractive or messy spots make your home look less spacious and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

I'll look over every room of your home. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

I'll ensure your house has mass appeal and that it's friendly, avoiding "offensive" or "can't-work-with" colors on the walls and furniture. And if the house is vacant, you can think about renting furniture. The goal is for your home to look lived in as opposed to uninhabited.

Setting the Stage

The entire time your house in on the market, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses. Brightening up each room is of major importance, so we'll do things like open curtains and create light where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look at your home and ensure a pleasing scent circulates room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your love seat and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your current home has the potential to be.
