Staging a home for sale.
This is part of a series for preparing a home for sale so the buyer can mentally move in”
“Depersonalizing a home has now become essential to creating a welcoming atmosphere for potential buyers’
The internet has changed the way people buy and sell homes and that has made how a home shows more important than ever.
First impressions have always been important and now with U-Tube videos , internet ads, Facebook , social media and multiple interior photos on web sites a buyer visits your home before stepping through the front door. The impression that those photos make are very important and that comes down to what is broadly known as staging.
From cleaning to styling, from fluffing to decluttering, to moving furniture to renting furniture, staging can come in many different forms and levels. Professional stagers and real estate agents can provide you with a number of varied services and advice.
Walk through the house as if you were seeing it for the first time.Rearrange the furniture if you think it is cramped -don’t forget there will be most likely three to 4 people at a time coming though as a family viewing the home.
Can you easily move around the rooms?
Would you be able to move from room to room without having to go around furniture?
Can you get to and look out windows without furniture blocking the access?.
Symmetrical arrangements usually work well in main rooms- create a conversation area and remove oversized furniture from the spaces.
When sprucing up a bathrooms and bedrooms stay with neutral with color and accents. For a pop of color, a piece of artwork and a small vase of fresh flowers works well.
Bathrooms should be spotless with lots of fresh white towels.
This includes the master bedroom which should be gender neutral in color so that it appeals to everyone and again free of personal items.
Vanities should have very little on them. Drawers and under the sink cleaned and organized. No toilet bush’s, kleenex box’s or waste paper baskets visible.
Crisp Linens, clean surfaces and organized closets will appeal to everyone.
The beds made with neutral colours or off whites to make the space look bigger and softer .
