FOXY INTERIORS INCORPORATED, SERVING SEMINOLE AND VOLUSIA COUNTIES
RENOVATION. HOME STAGING. REDESIGN
Autumn is almost upon us. For Floridians that really doesn't mean much except an occasional cooler day here and there. For the hummingbirds, they leave Central Florida and migrate. For the snow birds, they prepare to arrive in Florida as their primary home gets snowed in up north. What does autumn mean to you? Is it time for change?
Are you shopping for a new home? Are you thinking about moving south and retiring? Are you thinking about selling your home? Actually autumn is a great time to sell your home in Florida with the influx of northerners arriving daily in October. This means more traffic with many potential buyers.
Are you ready to sell your home? Has a professional home stager provided a plan to guide you? Most home sellers have formed an emotional attachment to their home, especially if they’ve lived there for a while. Did you know that staging and preparing your home for sale is very different from the way you decorate. A professional home stager prepares a plan that may include items to update so that your home appeals to as many buyers as possible.
Generally, if the kitchen or bathroom has not been remodeled in the last 15 to 20 years, a recommendation will be made to update. Buyers in today’s market do not want to deal with having to remodel. With that said, expect instant price drops from the asking price if they know a remodel stands before them if they decide to make the purchase.
The Plan will outline other items as well: paint colors, updating hardware, light fixtures, removing draperies, editing of furniture, clutter control, spotless cleaning, removal of wall paper and border, minor repairs to be made, a to-scale furniture plan and ways to add curb appeal. Although this may seem like a lot of work, you are marketing one of your most expensive assets. Don’t you think it would be most appropriate to showcase it?
Our job is to invoke emotion of the buyer to want to live there. This may be very different from how you live. A professional home stager will create a warm and inviting atmosphere that will appeal to the masses. It’s like having your car prepared to sell. I don’t know about you, but I have a full-blown detail job done on the vehicle before I sell it. Your home is a marketable commodity – an expensive one -- doesn’t it make sense to give it the care and detail you do to your car before selling it?
Have you ever noticed in a new subdivision the homes that sell first are the model homes? There's a reason for that -- the buyers were able to make an instant connection with the home.
So you may be asking at this point about the versatility. Foxy Interiors not only does home staging, but we can help you implement the plan. We provide remodel/renovation services as well; our business is two-pronged. You won’t have to be running all over town trying to find someone to do the work. We will help you succeed in preparing your home for sale. Additionally, we will provide copyrighted photos as part of your staging package so your home presents well on the internet.
