How To Stage Your Home for an Open House !! :)+

Professional home staging is an established approach used to sell a home here in the East Valley.  Home staging benefits include less time on the market and higher selling prices. And you should definitely try professional home staging if you need a fast home sale.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for an Open House. Staging focuses on your home's presentation to buyers while showing off the features of your home with strategically placed furnishings and pictures so that your home feels more open and buyers can picture their lives in your home.

Staging your property to sell shouldn't be thought of as an annoying experience. At times, it's a fun and creative activity. Together, we'll work to get a premium offer for your property. Below are a few home staging tips to get you going:

Curb Appeal Checklist

Curb appeal is your best chance to create a great first impression on buyers before they step foot into your home. The good and bad features that jump out at buyers create their initial thoughts about your house and how you upkeep home's regular maintenance.Understanding this helps us to choose what measures we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't up to par with refreshed paint and colorful greenery it's time to get those things done. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your home seem to say, "Hello From Your New Welcome Home" to a buyer? Touring your home with a critical eye, I'll recommend changes that improve sales appeal. I'll advise you put out of sight anything that gives the impression of clutter. Counter tops should be cleared off. Kitschy sculptures, sentimental items, family photos, and play time drawings should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Ugly or dirty areas make your home feel less spacious and buyers have a harder time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

Every area gets a once-over. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that could use polishing, and any other improvement that can inexpensively be made to positively affect the sale.

I'll ensure your home is appealing and that it's inviting, steering clear of "loud" or "personalized" shades on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can think about renting furnishings. The goal is for your home to look inviting as opposed to bare and uninhabited.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when to open your home up to buyers, because everything comes together to set the stage for what buyers can expect after they choose to buy your house. Dark living areas can really dampen a buyer's spirits, so we'll do things like open curtains and reduce shadows where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing lightly and assure a pleasing fragrance flows from every room. We'll include cozy-looking throws, and place pillows on your sofa and bed. We want buyers to feel like your house is their future home.
