Home Staging and Pre-Marketing
The Mover With The Gentle Touch
Staging of homes is a growing trend in real estate. It is especially important in slow markets with high inventory and many competing homes. Professional stagers:
-
Recommend removal of personal items that might make the home look crowded, or that might distract buyers. Too many personal photos on the walls are a sure way to have buyers commenting on your ski trip instead of your kitchen.
-
Encourage floor plan design enhancements. In staging a home, many times the furnishings are rearranged to enhance the look of a room or make it look larger. This can mean the rental of a storage building for those that have too much furniture.
-
Provides rental furniture that fits the style of a new or unoccupied home, making the home look more livable. Large expanses of open floor space may look large, but it's hard for buyers to envision their furniture in the home or get an idea of what would fit where.
-
Supplies effective illusionary devices such as cardboard televisions and computers to place on desks in the home to make it seem more hospitable and help buyers to imagine their belongings in each room.
Staging a home for sale is one of the most educated decisions a seller can make. Home staging can turn a cold and lifeless looking property into a warm and inviting home in a potential buyer’s mind. What is the end result? – A home that stands out, sells for more money and in far less time.
Some sellers are reluctant to spend the money on home staging, but that is usually short-sighted. Study after study has shown that the increase in the purchase price of staged homes far more than covers the cost of staging. In addition, staged homes usually sell much faster, and with more satisfied buyers.
