How Home Staging can Help when Breaking Up is Hard to Do...
Unless you've lived in your home for a very short period, putting it on the market can bring up a whole lot of emotional ups and downs. You may feel excited about the possibilities that have brought about this move, yet there may also be a kind of reluctance to let go of this place that's been your home.
Maybe it's from watching too many movies too intently, but when I get to these kinds of emotional events, I've got a soundtrack running in my head. In this case, the Neil Sedaka song, "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" just plays on a loop.
So how can a good home stager help? By creating a plan that:
- Enables you to understand and honor the elements that make your home the unique sanctuary it's been for you - AND
- Gradually morph your home into a house that appeals to many buyers - WHILE
- Planning ahead to pack away the things you'll take to your new place - WHERE
- You'll create a home that's a unique sanctuary for you and your family.
Home staging will definitely help with the "here and now" tasks of pre-packing, de-cluttering, and creating an appealing and inviting look for buyers. But a good home stager will also go the extra mile to help you deal with what feels like a dismantling of your life and help you look forward to making your next house into your uniquely warm, cozy sanctuary.
And, quite possibly, provide a fun soundtrack for the duration. New Morning by Bob Dylan, anyone?
