Home Staging Tips

Prior to putting your house on the market, consider a proven way to sell your house: careful home staging. Home staging benefits include fewer days on the market and better offers. And you should certainly try professional home staging if you need a fast home sale.

Think of staging your home as creating a "style" for your home like a publicist would do for a popular politician. Just like creating an image draws more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your home more inviting on the market.

Staging your house to sell doesn't have to be a problem. It can actually be enjoyable. Together, we'll work to get a premium offer for your property. So, for fewer weeks on the market in Cary, try these interior staging tips:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to make a strong first impression on buyers before they step foot into your home. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers create their initial opinion of your home and how you perform house's regular maintenance.Understanding this assists us in deciding what actions we can take to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with refreshed paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Touring your house with a buyer's eye, I'll advise you of arrangements that improve sales appeal. I'll advise you take away things that give the look of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Unsightly or busy spaces make your home feel smaller and buyers have a harder time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

Every area gets a once-over. Areas that directly impact your bottom line include fixable like furniture pieces that should be rearranged, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need cleaning.

With me by your side, you'll know that your home has mass appeal and that it's welcoming, steering clear of "offensive" or "too-bright" colors on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can try renting furnishings. The goal is for your house to look inviting as opposed to empty.

Setting the Stage
