Selling your home can be emotional, which is why it helps to have an expert guide you through the process. Our agents have the expertise you need to make it easier to move on, and help you get the best price for your home, and offering guidance on things like home staging. So, what is home staging anyway?
To put it simply, home staging is a way of presenting your home for sale in a way that helps prospective homebuyers to imagine themselves living there. Photographs of a staged home are more likely to attract interest. Keep in mind staging is not remodeling. The process usually includes:
1. Depersonalizing your space
Pack away all the family pictures (including pet pictures), and anything that is personal for you, like trophies and awards,
2. Decluttering
Though you may not see it, you probably have years’ worth of items on display that can be packed away. You may see it as taking away the home’s personality but it’s actually taking away your personality, which allows buyers to see a blank slate that they can put their own personal stamp on.
3. Redecorating
Changing out stained or worn furniture, painting, reorganizing, decorating can help buyers see the value of your home. Worn out items can distract buyers from looking at the space. This is where a professional home stager is very helpful.
For our clients we provide Home Staging as part of their listing if it is required. Our real estate agents can also advise you on which renovations might help.
