One Day Staging is known by many
names. Some of the most popular are real estate
staging, prepping, detailing, fluffing, and
neutralizing. It began on the West Coast during a soft
market to help to
make homes more competitive when placed on the market.
In time, many people began to see the merits. We liken
it to going on a blind date. Would you go on a blind
date with curlers in your hair, body odor, and dirty
clothes? Well that is how many people show their
home. A potential buyer is trying to find every
possible way to save money so they are looking for the
flaws in a home...One Day Staging
helps the seller to identify the problem areas. You
never get a second chance to make a good first
impression.
One Day Staging benefits both the
seller of the home and buyer. The seller gets to
achieve the maximum profit on the sale of their home and
the seller has the benefit of a home that is fresh,
clean, and well-maintained. This way they can get right
down to business transforming the house they just
purchased into the home they want to live in.
A One Day Stager begins with a comprehensive analysis
of your property. We walk through the property with the
homeowner and often times, the Realtor, assessing the
weaknesses of the home. Beginning with curb appeal and
moving into the closets, we will explore and poke
through the whole home to present you, the seller, a
plan of attack. So often, when people talk about
preparing a home for sale, they think it is simply to
empty countertops and paint the walls white. It is so
much more than that. Understanding the psychology
of your potential buyer is the key to a quick and
successful sale. Is your target market a young family
or empty nesters? The things we address in your
home will change based on your target market.
Here are five things you can do to help your home to
show and sell better!
-
Analyze the front door. Does it look dated or out of
style? Consider replacing it or at least painting it
in a bold eye-catching color.
-
Give your home the sniff test. Do you smoke or have
pets? If so,
then you are probably not aware of the odors in your
home. A One Day Stager will help you to identify
and resolve odor issues.
-
Check out the carpets! This is often times the deal
breaker in a
home. If the carpet is really showing it's age, then
consider biting the bullet and replacing it. It will
be a wise investment. If you do this before the home
is shown, then you can often times increase the
selling price of your home to off-set the expense.
-
Clean out the closets. In our day to day living, we
can hide all kind of things there and no one will see
it. But no place is off-limits when your home is on
the market. If the closet is overflowing, the message
it will send is that there is not enough storage space
in the home.
-
Make
sure there is something in your home to make it
memorable.
The average buyer looks at 15.2 homes when shopping.
Make sure to have some memorable touch in yours to
make it stand out. Maybe a dining room painted red or
a series of black and white child stars hung on a
wall.
Call a One Day Stager in your area to help you
maximize your return on
your real estate sale.
