Staging is simply creating the illusion while showing your home that no one lives there. Sound crazy? Read on. Over the years I've been surprised at critical mistakes homeowners made time after time without even realizing it. By not having the knowledge to stage properly, it has cost homeowners thousands of dollars, delaying the sale by weeks or even months. These tips will help you avoid critical mistakes and sell your home faster and for more money.
Staging is something you've done many times before but on a smaller scale. Before you have company you "set the stage" in may ways such as: lighting candles, putting on soft music, placing fresh cut flowers on the table or putting out your best china. If you've ever traded a vehicle you've also done some "staging". Most people would vacuum, remove personal items and wash the car. If your car looks disorderly and chaotic you may not get as much money on the trade. The same holds true when selling your home. Staging can literally add thousands of dollars to the sale price of you home, or, if undone, could have an adverse effect on your negotiating power.
Staging gives the potential buyers a great "first impression" of you home from the moment they walk in until they leave. You want to make them feel like you home is spacious so they can envision their own belongings in your rooms. In a sense, your gaol is to give the illusion that no one lives in your house. By following the easy steps below, you can direct the attention of potential buyers where it belongs, on your beautiful home.-
