Staging Your Home To Sell This Year by The Mary Ellen Vanaken Team of Keller Williams Realty www.mevhomes.com 678.929.6529 Real estate agents like great-looking homes because they are easier to sell. Why is that important?
An agent’s job is to please their clients, and they will direct their buyers to the homes they think they will buy.
Agents talk to other agents who are also
directing their buyers to the best homes on the market. An attractive
listing will be shown more often, meaning more market exposure—critical
for a quick and profitable house sale.
Staging is non-negotiable
in many parts of the country. Staging a listing for sale in an area
where the concept hasn’t caught on can give you an advantage,
particularly if there are many unsold listings similar to yours on the
market. Buyers gravitate to listings that look good and are in move-in
condition.
Buyers are looking for value. When prices are flat or on the decline, buyers need to perceive that the house is worth the price.
Bottom line:Staging Your Home To Sell This Year is more
than an exercise in tasteful interior design. It is a business decision
that can have a huge impact on your financial return and timeline.
Quick tips to stage your home include: 1. Remove the clutter - pack up what you want to keep and throw out what you don't use. 2. Furniture groupings - pull furniture away from the walls and group for conversation. 3. Musical furniture - consider moving a piece from one room to another. 4. Room transformation - re-purpose a junk room into a reading room. 5. Home lighting - increase the wattage in all lights. 6. Make it bigger with paint - keep adjoining rooms the same color. 7. Neutral paint in living areas - helps tone down outdated furnishings. 8. Color in the bedrooms - creates a warm and cozy atmosphere. 9. Vary wall hangings - break up the line and vary the height of pictures. 10. Three's company - use accessories on tables in odd numbers 11. Fresh flowers - throughout the home adds freshness. 12. Linens and soft colors on the beds - makes the rooms inviting. 13. New faces in the kitchen - hardware, paint, dishwasher face can all be changed. 14. Finish projects - don't leaving anything undone. 15. Polished bathroom - accessories like candles, rolled towels, baskets gives a spa feel. Ready to sell your home? Now is the perfect time.
