Staging to Sell

Prior to listing your real estate for sale, consider a proven way to sell your house: careful home staging. Home staging benefits include less time on the market and higher bids. And you should certainly consider professional home staging if you need a fast home sale.

Staging your home in Plantsville is all about promoting a lifestyle. You want buyers to picture themselves living and lounging in your home. You want them to see your current home as their next house.

Staging your home to sell doesn't have to be a problem. It can actually be enjoyable. Together, we'll work to get a premium bid for your house. Use these home staging tricks to get you going:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the outside of your home, or your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your home from a street view. What do you notice first? What would've-been-eye-catching features seem waiting to be noticed?Understanding this helps us to choose what measures we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with touched up paint and colorful garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Touring your home with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend adjustments that build up market appeal. I'll advise you take away items that give the appearance of clutter. Tabletops should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or dirty places make your home seem unkempt and buyers have a more difficult time imagining themselves living there.

Every room gets a once-over. Improvements that directly affect your dollars include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should get removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

I'll make sure your house is neutral and that it's welcoming, staying away from "offensive" or "can't-work-with" hues on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can think about temporary furniture. The goal is for your house to look ready to live in as opposed to bare.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when to show your home, because all of the improvements mesh together to create a picture of what buyers can look forward to when they consider buying your house. Brightening up your interior is critical, so we'll do things like part the curtains and add lighting where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and make sure a pleasing scent circulates room-to-room. We'll make use of cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your love seat and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your home has the potential to be.
