There are some heavy emotions involved in the home selling process. For some moving it can be traumatic as the idea of leaving their home and memories are hard. Their emotions are raw and need some support or guidance on how to prep home for sale. For sellers the whole process is an overloaded work list and burdensome. Home stagers are trained to work with sellers and provide guidance and if needed they can take charge of the home to make it look like a dream home to potential buyers. Home stagers are experts in making an emotional connection of buyers with your home. Overall goal of home staging is, “Getting buyers to feel at home in their home, so they fall in love with the space.” We want buyers to make the transition of logically deciding to visit your home to emotionally ‘ seeing themselves and their family living in your home’ since we know that this transition is what will bring you an offer.
Home staging is not just decluttering and organizing home, it is a most successful marketing technique which is “VISUAL MARKETING”. Stagers help real estate agents and home owners in marketing the property at its best to get the most profit.
Did you know? According to the National Association of Realtors, “82% of buyer’s agents credit home staging as making it easier for buyers to see themselves living in that home.”
Whether you love or hate the home you’re selling has your memories and emotions attached to the place,it is hard to make changes in the home objectively. Stagers will look at your home objectively without judging. Stagers will put on the most critical buyer’s eyes so they can market your most valuable commodity to its fullest potential.
Home stager sees what you missed
(1) Your wall color may be affecting the look of the space or it may be looking too dark due to the lack of natural light. You may enjoy the interior and ambience of the space, but buyers want to see what they’re buying. Home stagers can help by adding lighting, opening curtains, and painting the interior a consistent light color.
(2) Your home may be too personalized. Taking down family photos can not only help keep your family’s privacy and safety but it also depersonalizes the space.
(3) Your home may have a smell. Let’s face it, first impressions matter. And that first sniff inside your house can be a make-it-or-break-it moment. Home stagers can help pick out that perfect scent (nothing too strong) to help buyers breathe easily.
4) Your home may have very old or torn furniture pieces which can devalue your home. Stagers are expert in showing the lifestyle in your home to the buyers. And buyers aspire to have a better life in the new home that they will purchase. To create a beautiful visual lifestyle, the stager will rearrange the furniture or will advise you to rent furniture pieces that perfectly fit into the room and appropriate for design style.
(5) Your home may look beautiful inside but outside was not taken care of. Most people first peek at the house from the street when they come to see the property onsite. So ignoring the outside look is the biggest mistake. Most stagers address the curb appeal of the house during the consultation. Your house has to have a curb appeal in order to bring the traffic inside the home.
Stager will advise you to take care of the landscape, clean front porch or entrance. House should look beautiful and attractive from outside as well as inside.
The biggest advantage of hiring a home stager is you sit back and let the stager do the magic to your property. And that magic will sell your home in no time and you can pocket more money.
