Staging your home to sell!!!
Want to sell your home quickly and for top dollar? Staging can significantly reduce the number of days a home may sit on the market. According to an article dated Feb. 8, 2004, in the Denver Post the "National Association of REALTORS® findings show that staged homes sell 50 percent faster than non-staged homes." So, what is "Staging" you ask? Staging, or transforming a house by giving it that model home look, makes your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer, more loving and, best of all, it makes home buyers want to buy it! Staging can be anything from de-cluttering to rearranging the existing furnishings to completely refurnishing the entire home. Staging gives your home a competitive edge over the other homes on the market and can help you get top dollar for your home. Staging is what you do after you've cleaned, decluttered, made minor repairs; it's all about dressing the house for sale. Staging sets the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in your property. A Professional Home Stager possess skills of a top-level designer and can create dramatic scenery that appeals to the five senses. In many cases by simply rearranging what you already have the Stager can dress up a room and create an appealing display. Buying a house is largely an emotional decision because people are not just purchasing a home; they are buying a dream...a lifestyle. The goal is to create an environment that will leave a positive impression on potential buyers. If you can help them with their vision so they don't have to rely completely on their imagination, you positively impact how they feel in the home, which will be reflected in the sales price and number of offers you receive. First impressions are everything and buyers form an opinion of your home within seconds of entering. Staging is a simple way to accentuate the positive features of your home while it benefits potential buyers because it gives them a good idea of how the home could look if they lived there and the scale and style of furniture necessary to achieve the look. The cornerstone of the staging concept is that a property needs to be marketed just like any other product that's being sold to the public. It's a product you're selling - the better the product looks, the higher you'll get. Sellers are emotionally attached to their homes, but with the help of a professional, you can achieve a de-personalizing of your home so that a buyer's attention can gravitate to the house itself rather than to what's in it. The cost involved in staging your home is well worth the investment. The professional stager can be as involved as you choose. Sometimes small purchases can make a big difference. For example, purchasing inexpensive new slip-covers for sofas, as well as new throw pillows can dress up a room. New fluffy towels can be a way to make bathrooms look better. Getting rid of any dated window treatments, like dusty valances or old shades, can make windows brighter. Paint is often the best investment a seller can make.
