I didn't really know the true value of staging a home until I went to list a home last week. I was not ready for what I walked into. I had met with the owners on saturday and agreed that I would come by the house on Tuesday to do a walk through and take some pictures before doing a CMA to determine the list price. The owner's are in the process of packing for thier move, so I had expected to see some boxes around the house. What I didn't expect was the house to look so bare.
The house has a good flow and very open floor plan but with many of their belongings already packed many of the spaces were undefined. All of the items had been removed off of walls and all that was left were the nails and hooks that held the pictures up. It would take a buyer with some imagination to be able to see the potential of this home.
Lucky for me, I know a home stager and we were able to get he into the house this past Saturday to discuss making some improvements. I am looking forward to staging this home in the next week and hopefully we will have a quick sale.
