Spend Less Time on the Market With an Open House and Home Staging Techniques

Before you list your home for sale, consider a proven way to sell your house: well-planned home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and higher selling prices. If your goal is to sell your home quickly, go for a well thought out approach to home staging.

Think of staging your home as creating a "style" for your house the same way a publicist would do for a well-known entertainer. Just like creating an image garners more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your real estate more inviting on the market.

Making ready your house to sell shouldn't be thought of as another hurdle in getting your home sold. At times, it's a thrilling and inventive task. Together, we'll strive for a high bid for your house. So, for fewer weeks on the market in Cleveland, employ these interior staging tips:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your only chance to make a positive impact on buyers before they step foot into your house. The pluses and minuses that jump out at buyers create their first thoughts about your home and how you upkeep house's regular maintenance.Understanding this helps us to decide what plan of action we can use to attract buyers from the street and into your house. If your home's exterior isn't inviting with retouched paint and colorful greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Examining your home with a buyer's eye, I'll suggest changes that improve Open House appeal. I'll help you take away items that give the impression of clutter. Tabletops should be neatly arranged. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get moved out of sight. You need to "de-personalize" the home so buyers can see it as their new house.

I'll review every room of your home. I'll note the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively affect the sale.

I'll make sure your house is neutral and that it's welcoming, steering clear of "offensive" or "too-bright" hues on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can consider renting furniture. The goal is for your home to look homey as opposed to vacated.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when to open your home up to buyers, because all of the improvements mesh together to create a picture of what buyers can expect when they consider buying your house. Brightening up your interior is of major importance, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests experience your home and assure a delightful fragrance flows room-to-room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking blankets, and place pillows on your couch and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your home has the potential to be.
