I have found in 10 years as a Real Estate Agent that we all have a personal attachment to our home. Even if you think that is not you, just wait until the negotiations begin on repairs or there is a negative comment regarding your wallpaper and see how fast your emotions come into play.
As a homeowner you can’t help but see the value in every improvement and every dollar spent to maintain the property. At times it may feel as though a prospective buyer is literally reaching their hand into your wallet.
One process that I have found effective in detaching from your home is going through the STAGING process. I do a consultation, walking through each area and gently explain things that should be packed up, moved, cleaned, painted or repaired. Then together we make a realistic plan of what can be done and the priority for these items.
I have had sellers tell me later that this process of removing themselves by packing up personal collections, photos and clutter helps them start to see the home as a commodity. This is as much a mental and emotional exercise as it is preparing the home for the market.
By “un-decorating” and preparing the STAGE of the home for the viewing of prospective buyers, the seller actually begins to see the property change from… THEIR HOME…to a HOUSE…to a COMMODITY that can be sold at a price.
When I list a home, the STAGING is part of my service. I do a consult with my seller and then a priority list. Many times accessories and artwork or even furniture items are needed. This is something I can usually provide from my inventory.
An empty home is not a problem at all. I started Barbara Webb Home Staging & Design four years ago and decided then to do it right. I have an inventory of furnishings, accessories and art at my disposal. When I list your home all my tricks of the trade are at your disposal too.
