Spend Less Time on the Market With an Open House and Home Staging Tips

Professional home staging is a tried and true technique utilized to sell a house here in West Palm Beach, Florida. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and better offers. If you want to sell your home quickly, consider a well-planned approach to home staging.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for an Open House. Staging focuses on your home's presentation to buyers while showing off the details of your home with strategically placed furnishings and artwork so that your home feels bigger and buyers can envision their lives in your home.

Making ready your property for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as a problem. It can actually be a great time to let your creative juices flow. Together, we'll work to get a top dollar bid for your home. Use these home staging tricks to get you started:

Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the outside of your home from a street perspective. What do you notice first? What great characteristics seem waiting to be noticed?Understanding this helps us to decide what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with retouched paint and colorful garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers picture themselves enjoying game night in your living space, unwinding in your spa tub or studying in your home office? I want your home to welcome buyers and offer them a sense of contentment. I'll help you achieve this by recommending small improvements that highlight your house's features. I'll suggest that you get rid of anything that gives the appearance of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be cleared off. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get stored away too. You need to give mass appeal to the home so buyers can perceive it as their new house.

I'll review every room of your home. Areas that directly affect your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should get removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

Buyers' agents know that their clients expect a home that draws them in with charm. Everything that could be uninviting should get moved out in order for your property to impress buyers during any visit.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when for the Open House, because everything comes together to set the stage for what buyers can expect after they close on your house. Dark living areas can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like part the curtains and add lighting where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a pleasant aroma circulates room-to-room. We'll make use of cozy-looking throws, and place pillows on your couch and bed. Buyers should feel like your current home has the potential to be.
