…and working with what you’ve got

 

Most often, clients are selling the home that they currently live in.  They are savvy sellers and know the benefits of staging their property effectively in order to Stand out in the Market.

The OCCUPIED house is furnished, home decor and family mementos are on full display, the kitchen is fully operational, storage closets are packed to the rafters, the laundry bins are full.    In many cases, all that is needed to prepare those properties for sale is a consultation with a Home Staging Expert who will advise the homeowner on all the necessary changes needed to get their property “open house ready”.

But what if,  as the seller,  you fall into one of these categories?

  • you are simply out of time and energy to make those changes on your own.
  • you have spare bedrooms  or work rooms that never got completed and they’re currently storing your ‘overflow’.
  • some or all of your furniture is either so outdated,  oversized or undersized that it completely overshadows or undersells the true selling features of your house.
  • you admittedly ARE a “pack rat”…whether a “collector” or a “pile filer” you know that your house is CLUTTERED.
  • you just can’t keep ahead of the clutter and house cleaning amidst packing, preparing to move AND maintaining your job, caring for your children, carrying on with “LIFE”

If any of this sounds familiar, then you may just need a Home Staging “intervention”.     Don’t forget,   buyers need to imagine living in your house.  They need to visualize how their possessions will fit in.      Selling your house could be a tough sell if potential buyers can’t get past the perceived disorder .

These are all issues that Home Staging experts face on a daily basis. And this may just be the time to seek qualified, professional help from an expert Home Stager …..to ”enhance” the house that you live in.
