Before you list your home for sale, consider a proven way to sell your house: careful home staging. Some advantages to home staging include less time on the market and higher bids. And you should certainly consider professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.
Staging your house in Punta Gorda, Florida is all about promoting a lifestyle. You want buyers to see themselves living and lounging in your home. You want them to see your current home as their future home.
Preparing your property to sell doesn't have to be an annoying experience. It can actually be a blast. Together, we'll work to get a top dollar bid for your home. So, for fewer weeks on the market in Punta Gorda, start with these interior staging tips:
Start with the exterior of your house, better known as your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your house from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What awesome features seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this helps us to choose what plan of action we can use to entice buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with refreshed paint and colorful garden plants it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your house's final selling price.
Does your house seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Examining your house from a buyer's perspective, I'll advise you of changes that enhance Open House appeal.
I'll suggest that you put in storage items that give the illusion of clutter. Table and counter tops should be clutter-free. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or dirty areas make your home look unkempt and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves living there.
I know exactly where a room's best features are and how to show them off. Areas that directly affect your bottom line include fixable like pieces of furniture that should get rearranged, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be steamed, fixtures that need shining, and windows that need cleaning.
Potential buyers like to see a residence that charms them. Anything that could be "loud" should go into storage so that your house will impress buyers at every showing.
Setting the Stage
In the short time that your house will be on the market, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses.
Dark rooms can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like part the curtains and change light bulbs where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests tour your home and make sure a pleasant fragrance flows room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your love seat and bed. Buyers should feel like your current house has the potential to be.
