What led you to the decision to purchase your house over others? If you bought during a competitive sellers market you may have needed vision to see through your home's shortcomings. Or you may have won in a competitive bid situation. Today there are far fewer passion buys and bidding wars. In fact, buyers often feel little sense of urgency to put in an offer. As a seller, you should do anything possible to tempt would be buyers to fall in love with your home. Anyone familiar with HGTV will recognize the power of staging to do just that. Only, where does one turn for such services in the Greater Boston area? In this blog posting, I am introducing Julie Davis, a fabulous local interior designer who can provide staging consultations and implement a value-add plan to maximize sales price while reducing marketing time.
The Art of Staging a Home
What is Home Staging?
Professional stagers have perfected the art of "creating moods." Staging is anything that makes your home more attractive and appealing to potential buyers. Staging involves cleaning, decluttering, painting, making minor repairs, and most importantly, dressing your house for the sale. Stagers can either work with the home owner's existing furnishings or bring in new furnishings to create a space that makes sense and is pleasing to a buyer.
What are the benefits of hiring a Stager?
Home Staging offers many benefits to home sellers:
- Staging provides a notable first impression. Typically, a potential buyer has made up their mind within a minute of walking through the door. Your home should speak to potential buyers as soon as they pull into the driveway, whether it include a new coat of paint, a freshly landscaped lawn or a simple pot of flowers on the front porch. Inside the home, the goal is to reduce all clutter, freshen up rooms with paint and greenery, and make sure all furniture is appropriate in scale and function.
- Staged homes often sell faster. The MLS pictures of staged homes attract more potential buyers to come see your home.
- Staged homes get higher offers than homes that aren't staged. Because a staged home is pleasing to potential buyers, it gives them the feeling that "everything is done" and that they can move right in. This leads to offers closer to the asking price.
Your home is an investment that deserves professional attention. If you are interested in staging services, please feel free to contact me or visit my website:
