Home Staging in Asheville tackles the top 5 impression busters for your front entrance

Asheville Stagers discuss the top 5 issues usually facing your interior entrance. Home Staging can correct all 5!

The front entrance and maybe the next few steps can turn potential buyer away within 10 seconds. Let's discuss this vital first impression.

Top 5 major impact issues for most interior entrances are :

1. Too Dark:  Darkness is NOT a positive first impression. If there is a light in this area, keep it on for showings. Expecting the buyer's agent to turn on the light is not a planned first impression. While the buyer's agent is looking for the switch, the potential buyer is usually already in the entrance creating their first impression of your house. Have the light on when they arrive. This includes daylight viewings also as light brightens up even the most beautiful entrances! 

2. Smell: This is a concern you may not smell! We tend to get use to certain odors in our homes. Ask a friend or outside family member who will be honest. Do NOT use artificial room deodorizers! Ask an experienced  home staging professional.

3. Are you In their face- This is about the potential buyers wanting to buy their next home- not YOUR home! remove all items that say look at me, my children , my family etc.

4.Crowded- Your entrance may be large enough but has too much furniture or accessories. Furniture and accessories are tools to create your potential buyer's experience. Use your tools effectively!

5. Stops them in their tracks- Does your presentation leave the visitors wondering where to go next? A correctly merchandised house will create the total presentation and positive experience for the new buyers. 

These are only 5 of the factors that must be addressed in the entrance of your property or listing. There are other needs and issues that may negatively affect this area, and the remainder of your property. A Home Staging Expert , such as Asheville Stagers, can address and correct all negative issues in the presentation of your property.
