Perfecting Your Home for an Open House in Glendale

Before you list your real estate for sale, consider the best way to sell your house: expert home staging. Home staging benefits include less time on the market and higher selling prices. If you want to sell your home quickly, go for a well-planned approach to home staging.

Home staging is part of preparing your home for sale. Staging centers on on your home's presentation to buyers and buyers' agents while showing off the characteristics of your home with thoughtfully placed furniture and pictures so that your home seems bigger and buyers can envision living in your home.

Staging your home to sell shouldn't be thought of as an annoying experience. Instead it can be an eye-opening and inventive activity. Together, we'll strive for an exceptional bid for your home. To see fewer days on the market in Glendale, employ these low-cost staging tips:

Curb Appeal Checklist

First, look at the outside of your home, better known as your curb appeal. Inspect the exterior of your home from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What awesome features seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this assists us in determining what plan of action we can use to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your home isn't the best it can look on the outside with refreshed paint and bright greenery we'll need to address those as well. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and elevate your house's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Does your house seem to say, "This is Your Next House" to a buyer? Walking-through your house from a buyer's perspective, I'll suggest arrangements that enhance Open House appeal. I'll suggest that you eliminate things that give the illusion of clutter. Table and counter tops should be clutter-free. Arts and crafts, souvenirs, family photos, and play time artwork should get moved out of sight. You need to "generalize" the house so buyers can perceive it as their new house.

Every area gets a once-over. I'll point out the pieces of furniture that should be rearranged, rooms that need a fresh coat of paint, rugs needing to be changed, fixtures that could use brightening, and any other improvement that can quickly be made to positively affect the sale.

Potential buyers like to see a property that brings them inside. Anything that could be "loud" should get moved out in order for your home to achieve mass appeal at every showing.

Setting the Stage

You'll know when to show your home, because everything comes together to create a picture of what buyers can look forward to after they choose to buy your house. Dark living areas can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like draw back curtains and add lighting where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the mood of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests experience your home and make sure a nice aroma circulates throughout your house. We'll incorporate cozy-looking throws, and pillows on your sofa and bedding. Buyers should feel like your current house is their future home.
