Why you should Stage Your Home

 

First impressions matter when selling a home. Buyers decide within the first 5 minutes if they want to buy a home.  If it is appealing on the outside it will draw the buyer in.  Once the buyer is inside, the impression received depends on its visual appeal, organization, and cleanliness. Staging a home defines space and highlights it’s best features. Therefore, making it easy to see the home in it’s best light. According to the National Association of Realtors NAR, Eighty-three percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home. This is why you should stage your home.

Staging your home is an important and sometimes overlooked step in the home selling process. Homes that are staged typically sell quicker and for more money.  The process is  more than placement of furniture,  and the first step is to look at your home through the eyes of a buyer.

Improve that first impression

  • Paint a fresh coat of neutral paint
  • Make sure the home has curb appeal curb appeal-trim bushes and branches that hide the house, mow, edge and lay fresh bark,
  • Clean, clean, clean
  • Declutter -get rid of the items that won’t be moving with you and put away personal photos and valuables.
  • Rearrange furniture- Home should appear spacious and bright.
  • Repairs- Hire a professional to inspect the roof,  attic and crawl space.
