One size fits all is barely ever a solution – especially when it comes to staging! If you follow our Facebook page, than you likely saw our latest pending listing is on track for serious success – and one of the strategies we used in this home is not often talked about.
Did you know that you CAN use your existing furniture to stage your home? Did you know that de-cluttering and deep cleaning are aspects of staging? Did you know staging doesn’t have to cost a fortune to get you a big return on your investment?
In this week’s blog wanted to briefly summarize what staging is and isn’t – and what it can be! We’ve also included some helpful resources for your further exploration – but here are the cliff notes of how WE suggest setting the stage for success – pun intended…
WHAT STAGING IS
| Helping Buyers Visualize Their Lives In Your Home
| Highlighting The Rooms & Functions That Make This House A Home
| Strategic Improvements And/Or Designs That Positively Impact Your Home’s Value
| Creating Wide Appeal That Limit Your Home’s Time On Market
| Making Your Home A Firm Foundation For Professional Marketing Techniques (Photos Are First Impressions That REALLY Count!)
WHAT STAGING ISN’T
| Turning Your Home Into Something It’s Not
| Hiding Or Concealing Features Of Your Home
| Removing Everything In Your Home & Starting From Scratch
| Making Your Home Un-Livable Until You Move
| Making Changes To Every Room In Your Home
WHAT STAGING MAY ENTAIL
| De-Cluttering & Rearranging
| Paint & Carpet Cleaning
| Removing Pets During A Home Showing
| Giving Each Room A Distinct & Singular Purpose
| Adding Curb Appeal
| Using Existing Décor To Create A New Look
| Bringing In New Furniture And/Or Décor To Complement Your Home’s Best Features
You may be thinking – wow - that is a range of things that ‘may’ be needed, how do I know what I would actually have to do? This is where we revert to the ‘one size does NOT fit all’ philosophy – every home, every situation and every market will dictate the level of staging that accomplishes the very best results you can achieve. We provide a custom consultation for EVERY seller of what we believe will be most beneficial for you, given the situation you are in, the condition and location of your home and what marketing strategy we create for you.
