Home Selling Tips

Home Staging Tips

Careful home staging is a tried and true approach used to sell a house here at Dash Realty. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and higher bids. And you should definitely try professional home staging if you need a fast home sale.

Staging your house is all about marketing a lifestyle. You want buyers to see themselves living and lounging in your house. You want them to see your current house as their future home.

Staging your property for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as an annoying experience. Instead, it can be a fun and inventive project. Together we'll strive for a premium offer for your house. So, for less time on the market in, try these interior staging tips:

Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is your first chance to create a great first impression on buyers from a street perspective. The positive and negative features that jump out at buyers shape their initial perception of your home and how you upkeep house's regular maintenance. Knowing this helps us to choose what we can do to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with touched up paint and colorful garden plants we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.

Make yourself at home...

Can buyers see themselves lounging in your living area, unwinding in your spa tub, or hosting a dinner in your dining room? We want your home to welcome buyers and give them a sense of easy living. We'll help you accomplish this by recommending small improvements that highlight the features of your home. We'll advise you eliminate anything that gives the illusion of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be neatly arranged. Arts and crafts, sentimental items, family photos, and kids' drawings should get stored away too. You need to remove the personal details from the house so buyers can envision it as their new house.

We'll review every room of your home. We'll note the pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, rugs needing to get changed, fixtures that could use shining, and any other improvement that can easily be made to positively influence the sale.

We'll make sure that your house is neutral and that it's welcoming, staying away from "offensive" or "can't-work-with" hues on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can try borrowing furniture. The goal is for your home to look ready to live in as opposed to bare.

Setting the Stage

At your Open House, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses. Shadows are a mood changer, so we'll open curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and ensure a nice fragrance flows throughout your house. We'll incorporate cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your sofa and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your house has the potential to be.

Using our home staging pointers will get your house sold more easily. Dash Realty can help you design an inviting atmosphere that makes buyers to want to stay — permanently. Give us a call at (877) 987-7653 and we can help stage your home to sell.
