Staging your home in Punta Gorda, Florida is all about marketing a lifestyle. You want buyers to imagine themselves living and lounging in your home. You want them to see your current house as their future house.
Making ready your house to sell shouldn't be thought of as another hurdle in getting your home sold. It can actually be a great time to let your creative juices flow. Together, we'll work to get a high bid for your home. Use these home staging tips to get you going:
Begin with the outside of your home, or your curb appeal. Look at the exterior of your home from the view of a passerby. What do you notice first? What dollar-earning characteristics seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this helps us to choose what we can do to invite buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with touched up paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your home's final selling price.
Does your home seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Walking-through your home with a critical eye, I'll recommend fixes that build up market appeal.
I'll suggest that you take away items that give the appearance of clutter. Counter tops should be free and clear. Kitschy sculptures, souvenirs, family photos, and refrigerator drawings should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Unsightly or messy spaces make your home look unkempt and buyers have a harder time seeing themselves calling your property "home".
Every room gets a once-over. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that need brightening, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively affect the sale.
Working together, we'll make sure your home is likable and that it's comfortable, avoiding "loud" or "personalized" colors on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can consider temporary furnishings. The goal is for your house to look lived in as opposed to deserted.
Setting the Stage
In every opportunity, we want to capture buyers' attention.
Dark living areas can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and reduce shadows where needed to show off your property. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and assure a pleasing scent flows room-to-room. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and throw pillows on your chairs and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house is their future home.
