In today's Real Estate Market, it's essential to be as competitive as possible to get your home SOLD. One way to get a leg up on the competition is to have your home professionally Staged. Today's home sellers do understand what home staging is, I just find that most sellers just need a little more clarification of what they're really going to get out of staging their home. Here are 3 Reasons to make your home competitive in this market by Staging:
1) Competition. With so many homes currently listed on the MLS, you need your home to be seen by as many potential buyers as possible. What are you chances of being seen by more than a handful of potential buyers if your home doesn't have GREAT looking photos both in print and on the internet? ASP's can list your home on http://www.stagedhomes.com/ , this is just another extra benefit of staging your home professionally. Make sure whomever your photographer is that the quality of the photos they take makes your home look it's best. Make sure your Realtor is posting several photos on your MLS listing.
2) Competitive Edge. Prior to actively marketing your house and/or putting it on the MLS, make sure your house is de-cluttered, de-personalized, clean (I mean super clean-inside and out), and in tip top shape. The purpose of staging is to get top dollar for your home. Basically, making your home look it's best to appeal to as many Potential Buyers as possible.
3) Be Competitive in your Neighborhood. Instead of being concerned about how well the neighboring competition compares to your property - turn the tables and make them envious of your prime piece of real estate. Most of your neighbors are probably taking the flyers just to see what the inside of your home looks like and your Realtor will have to print more. Why not just hold a "Neighborhood Open House" and invite everyone to an exclusive showing? Don't be afraid of what they have to say, I'm sure they will be blown away after your house is staged. Once they see your home they just might have a friend or family member who your house would be perfect for.
