Home staging is preparing, packaging and presenting your home for sale, in such a way that it appeals to the widest possible interest, and sells for the highest possible price.
Stagers generally try to work mainly with what the homeowner already has in order to reduce unnecessary spending. This process usually involves depersonalizing the space by clearing clutter; rearranging existing furniture to maximize space and light; cleaning the house top to bottom and inside and out; and lastly bringing in new furniture and accessories to dress the space to create a warm and welcoming environment. With staging you are trying to create an inviting home that the buyers will fall in love with.
Stagers see your home through fresh eyes – the eyes of a potential buyer. Seeing your home and belongings through a fresh pair of eyes makes it easy for them to identify problem areas and decide where money is most effectively spent.
Clear the clutter and clean: Daily messes all too easily becomes familiar junk, which we are used to having around. It makes rooms look smaller and distracts buyers from seeing the beauty of the space. Buyers can easily become distracted by your story, so pack away family photos, excess books and clothes. This is a good time to take as much as possible to the nearest charity shop or dump, so you don’t have to take it with you to your new home. Once you have de-cluttered, clean like you have never cleaned before. Elbow grease can add more value to your house than almost anything else. Dust every surface, ornament and window inside and out.
