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

Prior to listing your home for sale, consider the best way to sell your house: careful home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include fewer days on the market and better offers. If your goal is to sell your home quickly, choose a thoroughly thought out home staging strategy.

Look at staging your home as creating an "image" for your home the same way a PR firm would do for a high profile entertainer. Just like creating a style garners more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your house look better when it's on the market.

Making ready your house for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as an annoying experience. At times, it's a thrilling and creative activity. Together, we'll strive for an exceptional bid for your home's sale. To see less time on the market in Punta Gorda, start with these low-cost staging tips:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the outside of your home from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What unique features seem waiting to be noticed?Understanding this assists us in determining what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with retouched paint and blooming greenery we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and boost your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers picture themselves watching a movie in your living area, reading a good book in your master bedroom or hosting a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? I want your home to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of easy living. I'll help you achieve this by recommending small improvements that highlight your house's features. I'll help you eliminate anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Table and counter tops should be free and clear. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Ugly or cluttered spots make your home feel smaller and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves living there.

Every area gets a once-over. Areas that directly impact your bottom line include easy-to-fix items like pieces of furniture that should get removed, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need washing

Working together, we'll make sure your home is neutral and that it's inviting, staying away from "offensive" or "personalized" hues on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can consider renting furnishings. You want your home to look lived in as opposed to deserted.

Setting the Stage

At your Open House, we want to capture buyers' attention. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and add lighting where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and ensure a nice aroma circulates from every room. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your sofa and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current home has the potential to be.
