Benefits Of Home Staging To Help Sell Your Home

Home Staging can work WITH your real estate marketing plan to get you the fastest turn around and the best possible price for your property.

Stagers can repackage your home into a sellable product that will appeal to the largest number of potential buyers.

Here are just a few benefits of how Home Staging can assist you in the selling process:

1. A buyer’s decision is made within 5 seconds of walking into a home; Home Staging helps make the best possible first impression!

2. Homes that are staged sell four times faster than homes that are not – and most often for more money.

3. The cost of staging your home is significantly less than having to drop the listing price of your home.

4. Today’s buyers are more savvy when it comes to home interiors and expect more from the properties they view.

5. Today’s buyers prefer and will pay more for homes that are ‘move in’ ready. For working families ready to move, the time saved is priceless.

6. Buyers often can’t see past clutter and mess, Home Staging de-clutters your home and in turn, makes it look more spacious.

7. Buyers view staged homes as well-cared-for properties overall.

8. Home Staging de-personalizes your space so buyers can see themselves living there.

9. A home stager will allow you to see your home through the eyes of potential buyers.

10. Photos of a staged home look more impressive online and in print advertisements.

11. Home Staging works in both a ‘buyers’ and ‘sellers’ market.

12. For every $200 spent on home staging, the return on investment is $2,500.

A 2003 HomeGain survey of over 2000 realtors revealed that sellers who spent up to $1000 staging their home recovered almost 200% of the cost in the sale of their home. Let these numbers start to work for you!

Curb Appeal, Marketing Your Largest Assett

Let's put your house first on the must see list!!!

Prospective buyers look for homes on the internet, in the local newspapers and sometimes they will drive around in your neighborhood.

How's your landscaping? Things that are easily maintained, like shrubs and trees are usually among the first things potential buyers will see. The lawn should be well cut and edged to look like you have taken care of the yard. This will tell the prospective buyers that the inside has been well taken care of as well. Planters add a nice touch as they are welcoming at the front entrance.

The mail box should be clean with no marks on it. If you need to replace it please do, or maybe a coat of paint will work.

Fences on your property should be structurally sound and pleasing to the eye. Old fencing that is falling down tells the buyer that you did not care about the property. Paint the old fence and do the minor repairs. This will also add equity to the home.

The doorway and entrance must be inviting. Make them inviting by cleaning and adding a fresh coat of paint.. Do not crowd the door with planters, make it easy to get in.
.
Driveways and walkways full of grass are a turn off. This looks like "work" to the potential buyer.

Windows should be clean, remembering buyers want something they can move right into without a lot off work.

Do not overvalue your home for the neighborhood.
