Selling your home is easier said than done, right? Sure you can have your whole sale planned out with the price you want and the time frame you want to sell it in, but these things don't just happen by chance. A lot of work goes into selling a home - especially if you have specific goals in mind. A crafty real estate agent will delve into many different home selling techniques, one of them being home staging.
First off, let's discuss what home staging actually is. To put things in perspective, have you ever been to an open house that looks as if people live there, but everything just seems a little too "perfect". There may not be full arrangements in rooms, but rather accent furniture or complimentary accessories and décor. The art of home staging is done with one premeditated goal in mind - to sell a home. Agents may take advantage of the home's existing furniture for these services or bring in their own items. If they utilize the furniture that is already in the home, they will likely remove pieces and rearrange items. For example, hanging décor in 1's, 3's, and 5's, using drapery, minimalizing furniture, using inflatable mattresses, and drawing attention to focal points in a room are all the learnt methods of a home stager.
What effect does home staging have on a buyer? Giving the impression that a home is occupied makes the home feel warmer and helps buyers picture themselves living in the home. A minimal but key amount of possessions in the house allows the buyer room to breathe as they picture their own belongings inside. The items tastefully displayed by the real estate agent help spark ideas in a buyer's head...but they are not so demanding that they suffocate imagination.
Taking advantage of using home staging services is a much more sound decision than having an open house that is empty - especially if the furniture and knick knacks are attractive. I firmly believe that an astute home stager can "con" their viewer into feeling and believing that any home is both cozy and upscale. A bare home can feel empty and lacking of character.
Real estate home staging services are beneficial to any seller. Whether you are trying to sell within a time frame or are determined to get a high asking price, a home stager is prepared to woo viewers into a well-rounded sale.
