Saturday Staging Feature: It Doesn't Matter What You Use It For

Remember, when you are SELLING your house, you need to focus on the new owner of your home, THE BUYER.  How will they use the rooms and space in the house?  It does't matter what you used it for. 

Shar Sitter, a professional Home Stager in Minneapolis, Minnesota not only made use of "wasted" space, but she did it in such a way that it helped the seller with their competition.

Consider consulting with a professional Home Stager when you are selling your house.  Maximizing the features of your home is what they do!

It Doesn't Matter What You Use it For - Home Staging Minneapolis, MN.

You live in your home thus you can use a room or space anyway you want or need. But when you go to sell your home it is another matter. You really need to think of it as not your home any more. 

If you use a space that is unique to you, your buyer will dismiss the space. 

In this home there was a tiny space off the family room that the seller didn't use. To them it was just a place to put a few random furniture pieces.

Wasted space to them but there is no reason to have it be wasted space to the buyer.

 

Bar Area Before

 

This seller's competition all had built-in bar areas. The return on investment was not enough to justify building the bar just for selling so show the buyer the potential. Show them what it can be!

 

Bar Area After

 

 

This seller used the end of this hallway as an extra place to sleep. But it was just outside a far corner basement bedroom with a bath across the hall. It was a space too large to dismiss.

The buyer would scratch their heads if it was empty and really scratch their heads with a bed in the hallway.

 

Hallway Before

 

What a perfect setting for a 'tweener' room. A space for a teen to study right outside their bedroom. 

 

 

Teen Center

 

 

You may use a space in your home that works for your needs but if it is unique to you the buyer won't get it. 

 

 

Teen Center

 

 

 When selling, make every space in your home count and show the buyer what THEY can use it for. A Professional Home Stager can assist you with the process.

Karen~ Blogging is a great way for Shar to spread the word about her successful transformations!

Joni~ I know a few in the area but none of them are blogging.  Maybe I should invite them to join the Rain!

Donna... Shar has written a great blog, but the words you have used to introduce it are just excellent.  Preparing the house to be seen through the eyes of the new buyers is of paramount importance.  Great job.

Hope you are well, Donna.  Have a great Sunday !

Thank you Karen.  That's one of the biggest challenges when selling one's home, you need to think like a potential buyer!  It's gonna be a hot one on Sunday, so I don't have much planned.  Just keeping cool!  :-)

Shar~ Sellers need to understand that staging is just not about making the house "pretty", it's about bringing out the features to make the house stand out against the competition.
