Ideal Home Staging Scenario

Are you planning to sell your house in the near future? Are you concerned about how you should do things, what you should do and what you should avoid doing in order to impress your prospective buyers? Are you concerned about the etiquette you should follow during the time you have visitors in the house? Well, here are some pointers to help you conduct your home staging successfully. If you know what the ideal home staging scenario is, you will be able to apply it to your own situation.

Let’s first look at the preparation you need to make for the home staging. We will assume that the house is made ready for the purpose. Give it one last check to ensure that everything is in order. Place a bouquet of flowers near the entrance and play some soft music. If you have small children or pets in the house, ideally you should request your family or friends to look after them until after the home staging is over. This will prevent any unnecessary distractions. Place a table with water and small refreshments near the exit. Also, place a feedback and comments form near it along with pens and pencils. When visitors go to avail the refreshments, they will feel a little obliged to leave a comment or feedback and this could be very useful to you. Now, we are done with the preparation.

Be ready to welcome your visitors at the appointed time. Spend a few minutes in small talk, but do not ask any intrusive questions about them, their family, their background or their work. Start the tour by talking about the house itself and the room that you are presently in. Then take them through every room in your house, while highlighting all the important features in every room. Answer any question they may have in a brief and concise manner, but avoid being abrupt. If the exteriors of the house need any showing, take them outside and show it to them. Once the tour is over, announce that they are now free to look around the house on their own. Most buyers like to ‘kick the tires’ on their own when no one is looking to ensure that there are no defects in the products. Let them know that you will be available in the living room to answer any questions they may have.
