Keeping your home show ready.

Most people understand the importance of showing their home to its best advantage when it’s up for sale. This means that a real estate professional may show clients around a prospective home that has undergone proper staging techniques and consequently looks and smells great.

Of course, the reality of the situation is that the current homeowners are still living in the home. That means that the home will occasionally be cluttered, appear to actually be lived-in, and may not always smell the best – particularly if animals are in residence. Such things can make an unfavourable impression on buyers, but fortunately there are a few handy techniques that can make staging your home look as if it has just been cleaned by a professional.

Feng Shui and the Power of Staging

Selling a house in today’s real estate market requires more than a little redesign and renovation. How you present your home to prospective buyers is similar to putting on a show. You want those viewing it, to connect with your home visually as well as emotionally just like an audience in a theater.
Selling a home back in simpler times used to be a much less time intensive process. On Sundays a family or two would stop by with a realtor, gingerly touring your house without opening closet doors, expecting stainless steel appliances or an entertainment room. You’d get a call one day that one of them liked it and the rest was basically paperwork.
Today’s home buyer is demanding and savvy. They want the most bang for their buck and won’t stop looking until they get it. There are a wide variety of properties for them to choose them in Oakville and elsewhere. As everyone knows, the more choices someone has, the longer it takes for them to decide. Homeowners in a hurry to sell or who don’t have unlimited time to keep swinging open the front door every time an agent arrives with a couple that can’t be pleased, shouldn’t undermine the difference that creatively staging their home can make. From the photos of your home that are posted on the internet to the pictures you have on the walls, you’re vying to grab the attention of that person experiencing them away from other properties. There is no process these days more competitive than selling a home, in fact, yet applying the right logic and techniques can result in a faster sale. Click here for the full article
