Professional Staging Advice ~ A Smart Way to Avoid Costly Price Reductions When Selling Your Home

The number of homes for sale making price reductions has increased for the third month in row to 26% according to statistics just released by Trulia.com and reported in REALTOR® Magazine.   This news is not too surprising given the current market conditions.  But you can help avoid becoming part of this undesirable statistic. 

What is an important way to help avoid having to make costly price reductions when selling your home?  Of course your house needs to be properly priced to begin with and your Realtor® will be a huge source of advice on that decision.  And, in addition to proper pricing, it is essential that you make sure your home is properly prepared for sale so that it presents as well as possible to potential buyers. 

What is the best way to make sure your house maximizes its potential when selling?  Get advice and assistance from a home staging professional.  A home staging expert will help you take a fresh look at your home through the buyer's eyes.  A stager's goal is to help you sell in the least time for the highest possible price.  How great to have someone in your corner wanting to make you money and reduce your stress level. 
 
Want to get the biggest bang for your staging investment?  Consult with a Home Staging Expert before your house hits the market.  Remember, you only get one chance to be a fresh listing.  When buyers view a home that is "move-in ready" and makes an emotional connection with them, they will be more motivated to act.  They will be concerned that other buyers will likely be making solid offers on this hot new listing and they will be motivated to move quickly to make your house their home.

Dining Room Do Over

Take a look at the original MLS photo for this formal dining room.  This space has some terrific features like its size, a tray ceiling, great windows, but they are not being highlighted enough for buyers to notice them.  Also there are items in this photo that distract a buyer including an electric wheel chair and a stuffed bunny. 

 

Simple changes made a huge difference in the appeal of a room.  For a formal dining room make sure the lighting is up to date, the walls have a nice neutral fresh coat of paint, and that you create an inviting setting.  Also, taking the photo from the best angle to highlight the features works wonders as well. 

Now thanks to a few simple and inexpensive changes, this is an updated dining room where buyers can picture themselves enjoying holiday meals and entertaining friends.
