Are you lacking personality?

Ever meet a person that is monotone and doesn't have the ability to tell a story or answer a question? Well houses are the same-they must engage the buyer and create conversation! When selling a home many times the homeowner has already relocated and the home now sits empty lacking the once beautifully decorated furnishings that helped to give the home a great personality.

We staged a home yesterday that couldn't create a good conversation with the buyer. It has been on the market empty for over 6 months and is listed for $1,7500.00 so not having the WOW was not an option.

When you entered the home entry the stone floors seemed large and cold and as you stood looking into the oversized living room which seemed like a personal conversation would never be able to take place because of the size of the room. The fireplace was beautiful and expanded almost the length of the room but without a balance of furnishings it seemed to over power the room. This is the room that must grab the buyer...it is the hub or center of the home and this didn't create the WOW it made you say HMMM.

The rest of the home had a great layout but it just seemed to have a lot of cold stone everywhere and though the stone was beautiful it just wasn't that interesting. The masterbedroom was another very large room that upon entering it the comment made was "why did they off center the lighting on the bed wall" instead of "this is a beautiful suite". When we staged the room it had in additon to the bed and side tables a sofa, two chairs and occasional tables which room to spare... it went from Why to WOW!

Staging a home brings personality back into the home. Depending on the style of the home will determine some of the personality but having a home filled with beautiful furnishings and accessories always engages the buyer to say " I could live here" and that's why you stage a home to bring in the personality that everyone loves and wants to be around....Stage it..SELL it!
