Home Staging Tips in Palm Beach County- We Can't Change Where You Are.... But We Sure Can Help How You Look!

houseIf you're planning on selling your house there are some things you just can't change...... for example:
      - being on a busy road
      - a small back yard
      - the view

Unlike location however, pricing is something you can control.  And, as your Realtor will tell you Pricing is Key.... and it is!  It is important to listen to their advice about what is selling in your area.  Know what your competition is.... know what has sold and what that property had to offer.

How your home and property look affects your home's perceived value and you can do something about that!
         *You can help Buyers want to see your house.....
              *You can help Buyers want to make an offer.....
                   *And you can help Buyers see the value you've placed on your home.

How Can you do this?

     1. Don't forget Curb Appeal- make your Buyers want to leave their car to see the rest of your property
     2. Clean is King!   Make your house and property spotless.  If you do nothing else, this will go a long way in adding value.
     3. Pack it up... Move it out...  You've heard the D-word... DeClutter.  Let your Buyers see what you're offering!
     4. Update and Repair!   Fix the broken "anything" in your house... you know.. the projects you've been putting off.  And, if it's in your budget  update where you can... light fixtures, appliances, paint.
     5. Show the Possibilities!

Lets shake things up at your home today!

There is so much that a seller "can" control, and you've hit the nail on the head BARFF.  I put my friend Ilene to work on this one.

Hi Kathy -  So true!  We recently staged a cute starter home with a kitchen window that overlooked a cemetery.

Kathy, I'm to the point that I wish they would simply do two steps: clean and declutter.  No one wants to do repairs anymore.  Great points in your blog!

BARFF- You are so sweet.  And, thank you for Ilene.  Don't forget the new 31 days in May challenge.

Diana- OMG!!! Now that was a challenge for everyone!  I'll check out your post to read about it.

Ginger- I have to agree with you.  Just get it cleaned and give us some room to see the house!

Great post Kathy, we can't change the permanent circumstances, but more of a reason to stage it.  Getting them in the front door is key, I've seen buyers fall in love with a home even though it's location was a negative.

This is great advice, Kathy.  Address the areas you can change as it can have a big impact.

Hey Kathy, You've summed it up perfectly in item #5 - Show the Possibilities.  That really what it's all about when marketing a home.

Kathy, I always end my report to a client with your blog LOL. I point out that they can't control price of comparables or their location but they can control condition. Great post!
