The 7 Deadly Home Staging Sins You May Be Committing Right Now!
What if you just had five seconds to sell a house but you couldn't say word? You are not allowed to say anything- no sales pitch, no comments, nothing. You just have to step aside and let the house sell itself.
Now...how would go about setting up the house? How do set the stage to impress people and make them fall in love with your listing? How do make a buyer say "Wow...this is a really nice!"?
Home staging is the answer. It's the crucial step needed to help a buyer connect with a listing and visualize themselves living in the home. Staging showcases the house in the best possible light. After all, we never get a second chance to create a great first impression so it is imperative that the house is "dressed to impress."
Unfortunately most listings suffer from one or more of the 7 deadly home staging sins. These are often made by agents and home sellers unfamiliar with home staging. Are you guilty of any of these potential deal breakers?
Failure to thoroughly deep clean the home - especially the kitchen and bathrooms.
A dirty house an immediate buyer turn-off. The two most important areas are the kitchen and the bathrooms. If you have not deep cleaned all counter and tile surfaces to a spotless condition, you stand the chance of having the buyers walk right back out the door. Another critical area is the floors - all carpets and rugs. Without question, they must be either replaced or steam cleaned as a dirty carpet is the number one buyer turn-off.
The first things any person that walks into your home will notice is SMELL. A home that has an odor will make a poor impression before the home even has a chance.
