We’ve all heard we only have one chance to make a good first impression.
The same can be said when selling your house.
When potential buyers walk into a staged home, they are greeted with a visually appealing, well-organized, inviting space.
Conversely, homes that aren’t staged can be confusing for a buyer and the confused mind doesn’t buy.
Staging Spaces Inside & Outside Clarifies What’s Possible
Staging helps showcase a home’s best features, such as its layout, architectural details, and potential functionality.
Most importantly, though, staged homes help foster an emotional connection with buyers.
When they can envision themselves living in the space, it’s more likely that they’ll form an emotional attachment and feel compelled to make a strong offer.
Maximize Open Space & Flow
Because personal tastes vary greatly, the most important goal in staging a property is to maximize the feeling of open spaces and easy flow.
You do not want buyers walking through your space, bumping into personal items, and getting a sense of clutter.
We recommend performing a room-by-room audit with the goal of making it easy for several people at a time to pass through together.
This simulates the buyers’ experience during an open house or a private showing with their agent.
Do You Need a Professional?
While it’s always best to hire a professional staging company, it’s still possible and important to stage your home by yourself.
Start by thinking that less is more.
Once you’ve made the decision to move, you’ll have to start disconnecting yourself from the memories by beginning to remove items of personal attachment.
These items are distractions that keep buyers from focusing on the benefits of the property and beginning to picture themselves in the home.
Think like a developer showing off a new construction property, creating a neutral palette for the next person’s vision. To help with this you can visit builder’s model homes to experience the latest trends in home design.
