"Over 4,500 Homes Staged...since 1999!"
To help a home appeal to as many buyers as possible, keep the following tips in mind when preparing a home for the market:
HOT: Wall paint in muted and soft colors.
NOT: Bold faux finishes and dated wallpaper.
HOT: A few personal photos in matching frames in built-in bookshelves.
NOT: Gallery walls...with many nail holes.
HOT: Fresh carpet.
NOT: Taking a wait-until-after-we-move-out approach.
HOT: Neutral, clean smell throughout the house.
NOT: Making buyers ask, "What are they trying to cover up with all of the Plug-Ins?"
HOT: A dining room with table and chairs.
NOT: A dining room being used as an office or toy room.
HOT: Storage space in the lower level.
NOT: Overflowing bedroom closets.
HOT: College alumni decals on a vehicle.
NOT: Revealing college affiliations at the front door and throughout the home.
HOT: Family pets that bring us joy.
NOT: Pet beds and litter boxes in bedrooms.
HOT: A checkmark by every item on the "honey-do" list.
NOT: Visible wear and tear when competing with newer listings.
HOT: An exercise area in the lower level.
NOT: Exercise equipment in the master bedroom or main-floor living spaces.
HOT: Buyers exclaiming how everything is clean and pretty.
NOT: Buyers muttering, "Didn't they know we were coming?"
HOT: A properly Staged home that supports the home's price by looking expensive and beautiful.
NOT: Leaving behind furniture not good enough for the new home, complete with dusty and dated accessories.
Because I arrive to start physically moving things around, listings can go from "blah" to "beautiful" often within just two hours! Let me know how I can make your life easier, working with what a seller already owns!
