Dress your Home For Success with Staging

Staged homes sell faster in this competitive real estate market. Why not hire a home stager to do their magic. A little money used for home staging will get your home sold faster. Why do retail stores dress their windows? To attract buyers to enter their stores.... right? The same applies to selling your home. Dress up your home to sell it in this market. A professional home stager knows what works.

They will position your furniture to make the rooms appear larger and show off the homes features. Home Stagers  will use your furniture and accents that appeal to buyers that may fall in love with your home. They will help you to de-clutter your home of pictures, plants, and knickknacks that actually date your home and detract  from your home's appeal and charm.

Before you pack anything away, call and home stager and they will educate you on what is to stay and what is best packed away. I have been hired to stage properties after the seller has packed away all their decor. I was left with a Plain Jane House. I had nothing to work with. We had to actually go into the garage and unpack some things to bring back out~

This Lincoln Ca. home was for sale over 2 months before we staged it. Now it is getting more showings after staging it. Let's hope it sells fast!

Home Staging on a Budget

Thinking about home staging? How does a vacant room appeal to buyers on the MLS? You can see how drab and cold an empty room looks on a photo. Did you know that over 80% of buyers will see your home online first? Try looking online at all the photos of homes for sale, pretend you are shopping for a home.

Which homes would you spend time looking at.... the ones that look unappealing, cold and empty? Or ones that look inviting and create a homey feeling? Why do new home builders spend over $100,000 on home staging if it does not work. The concept is real and works, people buy for emotional reasons. Does you home create warmth and appeal the the buyers out there now?

Some people feel that they can stage themselves and some do. But most that I see, do not create the warmth and appeal that a professional stager can achieve. If you are a tight budget, there are tricks and techniques that stagers can do to keep the budget down to a minimum and still create appeal. Remember this, staging must be right for the price point of the house. This budget would be wrong for a $500,000 home in the Sacramento Ca area. See some examples for yourself. If you feel that you need some help staging your home, get some advice from a stager in your area that can give your home a new set of eyes.

This is a low end $200,000 1970's Sacramento Ca home that we staged on a small budget. We used a table vignette to give this dining area some warmth and appeal plus some demention to the bare room. We used the same colors throughout the home to create a theme in the decor. I recommended that the seller paint the 70's window spindles white and they did not choose to do so at that time.

The investment in staging will get your home sold faster and that means more money back in your pocket.

Upscale Staging Tips Adds to this Million Dollar Home

This Project was for a Real Estate Investor that wanted to flip his house in this down turned market. He hired us to transform this high end home into a show place. Vacant homes do not show well online. Buyers can not appreciate each room's size with out any reference. Upscale home staging decor only enhances this homes value and appeal. Only 10% of buyer's can imagine what their furniture will look like or even fit in a vacant home. Call a home stager to have your home evaluated for a quick sale.

A couple of pointers to think about when staging a home yourself.

  1. You are not staging to your tastes. A professional knows the market and what buyers want. Professional Realtors and Stagers see many homes on the MLS and know what the competition is. They know what it takes to sell. So it really does not matter if you like the staging yourself. You are selling your home- so make it appeal to the buyers. Trust your Realtor or Stager with their advice.
  2. Keep the home neutral- That may mean to paint some of the rooms a more neutral color. We hear "designer colors throughout" , trust me- in most cases that is a clever way Realtors say- the paint color is will not go with anything. Think about it this way, if the buyer's egg plant color sofa will not go with your deep maroon color walls, then you better think about repainting.
  3. Do not under stage a house that is high priced. If you want you home to look like the price you are listing it at, then do not skimp on the furniture or decor.
  4. Make sure, if you hire a stager, that you see some examples of the type and quality of furniture that will be used in your home. Just don't go with the cheapest bid. You get what you pay for. If the buyer's don't say wow when they see your home- then you are missing out.

Staging Country Home is Simply Irresistable

Staging does it again! Home sellers are amazed how fast their homes sell once they are staged. Time and time again, I have Realtors raving how staging has really made a difference in the quick sale of a listing. Even well priced homes need staging for their home to stand out in this market. Get your home priced to sell and get it staged for a 1- 2 punch knock out home sale!

Here are some before and after pictures. You be the judge-

We had the fireplace that needed to be repainted so that the hearth did not stand out from the carpet. We choose a color to match the new carpet. The living room was very small so we found a small sofa love seat combo to make the room feel cozy yet large enough for a family to enjoy. We floated the love seat away from the wall to make the space work.

We added some decor to go with the animal theme, a built-in desk is behind the curtain. We wanted to show the office/ combo in this spare bedroom. Angles are important when you show a home on the MLS. You have to make the room look as large as you can and functional. Good photos are important as is staging.

This home lacked color and appeal. The owner had this comforter and we added the accessories.
