Staging Your Home to Sell

Sell quickly in Phoenix with home staging and with me as your real estate agent - (602) 369-1085

Before you list your house for sale, consider the best way to sell your house: professional home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include less time on the market and higher selling prices. If your goal is to sell your house quickly, consider a well-planned approach to home staging.

Think of staging your home as creating an "image" for your home similar to what a PR firm would do for a popular celebrity. Just like creating a style attracts the spotlight to a public figure, staging makes your real estate more attractive on the market.

Making ready your home for an Open House shouldn't be thought of as a problem. At times, it's a fun and inventive task. Together, we'll strive for a premium offer for your property. So, for less time on the market in Phoenix, Arizona, start with these house staging tips:

Curb Appeal

First, look at the exterior of your home, also called your curb appeal. Look at the exterior of your home from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What positive features seem waiting to be noticed? Understanding this helps us to choose what actions we can take to entice buyers from the street and into your house. If your house isn't the best it can look on the outside with touched up paint and bright greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home!

Could a buyer picture themselves watching a movie in your living area, reading a good book in your master bedroom or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your eat-in kitchen? I want your Open House to welcome buyers and give them a sense of easy living. I'll help you do this by recommending small improvements that enhance your house's features. I'll help you reduce the effect of items that give the look of clutter. Table and counter tops should be free and clear. Knickknacks, souvenirs, family photos, and kids' artwork should get moved out of sight. I can help you de-clutter your house. Less than inviting or cluttered places make your home seem unkempt and buyers have a more difficult time picturing themselves calling your property "home".

I'll look over each room of your home. Improvements that directly impact your sale price include fixable like pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs steaming, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.

Buyers want to see a house that brings them inside. Personal items that could be too personal should be put away in order for your property to impress buyers at every showing.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when for the Open House, because all of the changes come together to set the stage for what buyers can look forward to 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 create light where needed to show off your house. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and ensure a delightful scent circulates from every room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and throw pillows on your love seat and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your current house is their future home.

Bonny Holland can help you design an inviting feeling that makes buyers to want to stay — permanently. Give me a call at (602) 369-1085 and I will stage your house to sell.
