When in the process of selling your house, cleaning is only one of the many things you must do.
There is a new movement in home-selling called home staging. This is a growing industry that is used to make houses look better before a sale.
But is this the right choice for you? Statistics say that staged homes sell in half the amount of time and for more money.
Anyone can get their home staged, not just ones with money to spend. If you don't believe that home staging will help you, take a look at some of the properties that have used this service. You can tour places online that have been staged. View empty properties that have been taken back by the bank or homes that have been abandoned by their owners. You'll also find homes filled with life and discover even neatly arranged toys or brick-a-brack can make a house feel small and cluttered.
Model homes are generally impressive. The rooms will be furnished enough to let you know their potential and may have such supporting decor as fresh flowers, table settings, etc. Even if you have different plans for the room, most people find it easier to judge the room's size when there is furniture inside.
You will soon discover what the most dedicated of do-it-yourselfers have learned. Home staging is a talent that not everyone has. We tend to not notice the things that a potential buyer might. These minor details may difficult for you to change or fix, especially if you don't see them as a problem.
The service will be costly, but it will be worth it.
If you're sold on the idea of staging, even if your Realtor hasn't suggested it, then raise the idea with him or her. Although the service may not be offered in your area, there is a possibility that through your agent's industry contact, they may know someone who can do the job.
A home stager might suggest adding some shrubbery. Other changes that can impact a sale can be made just before photo are taken for the website or flyers that will help sell the home. This includes setting up flower arrangements or removing any personal items such as photos or awards from the open shelves. Major projects that need to be done anyway and will take some time, such as decluttering, should be done ahead of time. In the end the effort will be worth it when you have sold your home.
