Sellers - stop making buyers think too hard!

The entire process of purchasing property to live requires thought, analysis and decisions. Active buyers are constantly processing questions like

Will I enjoy living in this new community?

Is this location safe for me and my family?

Can I easily manage all of the necessary payments to maintain this property?

Will all of my personal items fit within this property?

When a vacant property is shown, this forces even more on the buyer to think think think! Buyers wonder whether their items will fit or if they need to purchase items, what will fit in the space. This becomes even more of an issue with smaller condos and homes. Let's face it - open spaces just confuse buyers. Common in condo spaces is an the open area...which tends to confuse lots of buyers. But staging a home with furniture can help address those issues and at least quiet those space questions down. Take a look at our example below to see what we mean.

Empty room/space in a condo...BEFORE

The space AFTER we dressed it up and staged it with nicely sized and furniture, added color and life!

Now you can really see how the family room and dining room space come together! And your brain doesn't have to work so hard to figure out where pieces of furniture can go and how they can fit.

If you are a homeowner or realtor selling a condo in DC, MD or Northern Virginia - stop confusing your buyers! They will thank you with a sale! So make it easy - stage your vacant property! We have great furniture to use make your place shine! See more of this condo at www.rarooms.com/portfolio.htm

Roslyn; you are so right. And I think that as people downsize to smaller places such as condos, this will become even more important. Many people have lived in large houses, so when they go to look at a vacant, small place, they will have trouble envisioning their things fitting. By the way, lovely staging!

Roslyn: I think you did  a great job staging this Condo. And you are absolutely correct when you say "don't make the buyers think too hard". With a little effort and by hiring the right home stager, you can make it easy for buyers to fall in love with your home.

Roslyn,


Great post and staging job!  The point you raise is a new one to me that is so obvious and dead-on.  I will start using it as well to encourage sellers to see the value of staging their home for sale.


I am sure they are just as stressed when they go into a home they want to purchase and are looking at blank walls, carpet and hardwood only, with no visual means of determining how their furniture may look in the rooms.


Thanks for sharing.
