My name is Sue Argue, from Hampton, New Hampshire. My NH home staging business, Staged First Impressions, was started in 2005. I have helped many sellers move on to greener pastures, and I hope I can help you, too!
What is home staging?
Home staging is the process of getting your home ready to put on the market so it sells faster and/or for more money. It can include moving furniture, packing up some of your things, scaling back on household items and adding some beautiful accessories. Sometimes suggestions are given for changing your interior paint colors, or removing old wallpaper.
Why is home staging necessary?
Buyers will see pictures of your home on the web looking clean, updated and comfortable. They will see photos of a home where the sellers look motivated to sell. When they get to your home for a showing, they will look at the selling features of your home, not at your stuff!
How can staging affect the sale price of a home?
Every time a buyer can pick out things that are "wrong" with a house, they reduce their asking price. For instance, if the carpet badly needs replacing, they will try to deduct the price of new carpet. The same for a new roof, new furnace or walls that need re-painting. Try to eliminate the "wrongs" from your house, so that buyers can't justify reducing their offer!
Home staging doesn't involve adding a new roof, but it takes care of the "feeling" a home has. A home should feel clean, comfortable and relaxing. This is what draws buyers in emotionally. A good traffic flow pattern through the house, colorful accents and an updated look all add to a good feeling. Buyers do need to connect with your house emotionally to imagine themselves living there. It's a huge decision, buying a new home, and people are naturally very picky!
