Get Professional Help - Set the Stage
Previously, on ‘My Staged Life’…
Nobody will give your house a first look, let alone a second, if they don’t like what they see when they drive by − they’ll just keep driving. Most foreclosures don’t have to worry about this, they’re selling cheap enough that prospective buyers will have plenty of money left over for a quick, professional cleanup, a coat of paint, professional landscaping and a good decorator.
You on the other hand, aren’t selling your home for such a considerably low price. You have to make your house stand out in the best way
possible. You have to make your house stand out, even from the other houses on your street; even from houses that aren’t even on the market!
Perhaps the most important thing you can do is to hire a real-estate staging professional. You’ve cleaned, you’ve uncluttered, you’ve painted, you’ve
repaired, you’ve replaced, you’ve hired a realtor, you know what your home is worth in the market. All that’s left is the details. That’s what a stager does. A stager will come into your home and evaluate the space and decor. They will use this evaluation, along with their expertise, to make your home look the best it can look, drawing attention to everything good, while minimizing any flaws. Hiring an accredited stager can be the difference between a buyer feeling at home and a buyer fleeing for home.
