When you list your home for sale, a seller’s mindset has to make the difficult transition from it being your personal retreat to a canvas on which someone else can envision their lives living out. You want potential homebuyers to be able to truly envision themselves as the ones living in the home, which can be difficult if your family’s personality is still evident. Before going on market, a skilled agent will recommend decluttering and depersonalizing, but you may also want a little professional help from our team to guide you through showing your home in its most marketable light.
When done correctly, staging can not only set the right emotional tone for buyers about the home, but can also help highlight the most attractive features of the home. Staging can potentially make you money, too: 77% of listing agents said a well-staged environment increases the dollar value buyers are willing to offer, according to the National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Staging. Staging can also shorten the length of time your home is on the market, with agents reporting that their staged homes were going under contract faster than those without.
A professional staging expert like Premier One will be available to you to walk through your home with you and provide their advice for the home. The plan will include advice on de-cluttering, storing items, reorganizing furniture placement, and possibly changing out paint colors in different rooms, if that is something you would consider. Our team can also give tips for improving curb appeal and provide access to contractors and vendors for any repairs, updates or upgrades you might want to implement to drive your sales price up. The most common rooms where real value can be added through staging are the living room, kitchen, owner’s bedroom, and dining room. Our team is fully equipped to let you know where you can spend a dollar to make two and conversely where spending money might not best serve your bottom line.
Depending on what your home needs, and whether you want to do the work yourself or hire it done, a staging company could handle bringing in supplementary furniture and décor items, manage painting or other contractors coming to your home, and have a more hands on role in getting your home ready to go on the market. Either way, Premier One will ensure you have all the information and resources to make the most educated decisions about what is best for your home sale.
