It increases your chances of moving out faster and the new buyers getting in quicker. Basically, it requires less moving time for the both of you.
There is less stress when it comes time to officially sell. There are no packing struggles, and there is no rush to box up all of your belongings – It’s already taken care of!
No clutter! Every item within your home has a place to call its home. There are no stacks of papers, tchotchkes, or miscellaneous items scattered throughout the property.
It gives you a leg up compared to non-stagers. Your home is designed better, the layout is appealing, and the decor balances everything out.
Buyers can see themselves in your home. Staging a home creates a neat but homey space, all while taking the personal touch away from the current owners. This allows potential buyers to better see themselves in a home that seems like it is already offering them a fresh start.
Staging a home “showcases your space.” Everything is laid out in a stunning way that will bring in the most natural light and maximize room space.
It creates a great first impression
All of these points listed above will go on to increase the perceived value of your home
Decluttering
Arranging furniture properly – in a way to make the home look bigger, brighter, inviting, and more
Depersonalizing – Many pictures, collection items, heavy curtains, décor, etc. will be removed and replaced with subtle accent pieces to pull a room together
Making the entrance to the home inviting by being open and bright, and perhaps adding “welcoming” touches such as a sign, mat, and/or plant
Every room will serve a purpose that the buyer can see (no awkward corners in a room or small third bedroom studies left unfurnished)
Boost your curb appeal – Think flowers, mowing the lawn, cleaning up the yard, etc.
Declutter and clean – also depersonalize (i.e. all those family photos and albums) – by packing up anything that isn’t necessary
Rearrange your furniture. Open up the space to make it look bigger, inviting, and livable
Choose the right colors – Nothing too bright, shiny, or overpowering
Give extra rooms and spaces a more defined purpose, such as an added office, guest room, or play area for the kids
Stage the outdoor area too, whether it’s for entertaining guests or serving as a relaxing getaway right at home
Think seasonally. Take which season it is into consideration when decorating
Let the natural light in
Update a room and make it look refreshed quickly with a fresh coat of paint
Camouflage outdated features
Update lighting fixtures. This will give rooms more light and an overall better look
Use virtual staging for any rooms that you cannot afford to stage
Know your audience. Who is going to be coming through your front door?
Why is it that staged homes sell so much faster than non-staged ones?
