Tips on Staging Your Home…
Preparing your home for sale is similar to staging your home for video. The great benefit to a video tour is the increase in numbers of potential buyers that have the opportunity to see the home without walking through the door. In my experience with buyers, most purchases are based on emotion. Keep in mind that a home needs to show well in person and on camera if you want it to sell for maximum price. Consider these few hints when preparing your home for a video tour.
Creating a simple generic look to appeal to a broad range of buyers can be achieved by de-cluttering your
home. So make your home clutter free!
That means get rid of unnecessary “stuff” inside the house and out; children’s toys and pet accesories, tools, magazines, newspapers, etc. Kitchen counters should be clear of clutter; rooms should be neat and orderly. By clearing counter tops of clutter it allows potential buyers to envision the space exactly how they like it.
Cleanliness is an important component of staging. Video is not forgiving to shiny surfaces. So take a few minutes to polish up those faucets and remember, windows always look their best when they are free of fingerprints. A simple feather duster will make the camera love your home.
LESS IS MORE. Removing some furniture in order to create a path from one room to the next will give the house a natural flow. Staging impacts the condition of a house; a staged house makes for a beautiful video which attracts more potential buyers to showings. This means more offers and increasing the opportunity to sell the listing on the first round of marketing. There has been an increasing popularity in “make over” programs on T.V. and because of this trend, buyers today have high expectations when they see your home.
A little cleaning and organizing can make all the difference when selling your home.
