If you need extra information on home staging to sell your house quickly in Cary, contact RE/MAX Performance and I'll use my Cary, North Carolina expertise for the fastest ways to sell your house.
Expert home staging is a tried and true strategy applied to sell a home here in Cary. Some advantages to home staging include fewer days on the market and better offers. And you should certainly try professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.
Look at staging your house as creating a "style" for your home similar to what a publicist would do for a popular politician. Just like creating an image draws more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your house more attractive on the market.
Preparing your house to sell doesn't have to be a nerve-racking experience. It can actually be a blast. Together, we'll work to get a high offer for your property. Start with this home staging advice and you'll notice that your home sits fewer days on the market after listing:
Begin with the outside of your home, also called your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the exterior of your house from a street view. What do you notice first? What dollar-earning features seem hidden?Acknowledging this helps us to decide what we can do to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't at its best on the outside with touched up paint and bright garden plants it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your home's final selling price.
Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Walking-through your home with a buyer's eye, I'll recommend arrangements that enhance sales appeal.
I'll suggest that you get rid of items that give the look of clutter. Table and counter tops should be neatly arranged. Knickknacks, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get moved out of sight. You need to "generalize" the house so buyers can see it as their new house.
Every room gets a once-over. Areas that directly affect your dollars include easy-to-fix items like furniture pieces that should get rearranged, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need washing
I'll make sure your house is appealing and that it's comfortable, steering clear of "loud" or "can't-work-with" colors on the walls and furniture. And if the house is empty, you can consider temporary furnishings. The goal is for your home to look homey as opposed to cold and empty.
Setting the Stage
In the short time that your house will be on the market, we're doing well if we're engaging the buyer's senses.
Brightening up your interior is critical, so we'll do things like part the curtains and reduce shadows where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music playing lightly and make sure a pleasing fragrance circulates from every room. We'll include cozy-looking bedspreads, and place pillows on your couch and bed. Buyers should feel like your current home is their future home.
