As a real estate agent, you know that home staging can be the key to selling a house. But convincing your clients to stage their home can sometimes be a challenge as many sellers find the task overwhelming. Here are some tips on how to help your seller stage their home.
Start with the basics – de-clutter, deep clean, and repair
One of the most important things you can do for your clients is to help them make their home look as attractive as possible to potential buyers. The best way to start is with the basics – de-cluttering any excess items, giving the home a deep cleaning, and repairing any damage. Not only will this make their home more attractive, but it will also create positive first impressions and help them get the best asking price possible. Taking the time to tick these boxes can give real estate agents an edge over their competitors as well as better results for their clients.
Create a focal point in each room
When considering staging, one should always try to create a focal point in each room. This could be achieved by choosing an interesting item or furniture pieces such as a fireplace, an eye-catching piece of artwork, or even a large window. Doing so will bring attention to the area and draw people’s eyes to that particular part of the room. A real estate expert will advise you on how to develop your space to make it aesthetically pleasing and look unified. After all, having balanced furniture placement contributes to the ambiance of any living area significantly.
Use light and bright colors to make the space feel more open
When real estate agents talk about creating the perfect ambiance in a home or a business, many of them recommend using light and bright colors for the painting or décor to help make the space feel more open and inviting. By filling a space with lighter hues like cream, beige, pastel blues, and greens, as well as touches of gold and silver accents, it can create the right atmosphere that customers or homebuyers love. Not only can this give real estate experts an edge when they are showing properties, but it can also help potential new homeowners immediately think of furnishings that would work well in those spaces.
Stage the outdoors as well
You can easily stage the outdoors by sprucing up the yard to make it look inviting. Have the seller start with some potted plants or flowers to add life and color. Then, set up a cozy seating area – think of comfortable cushions, a fire pit, and any furniture pieces they might have lying around. Before long, you’ll go from having an underutilized outdoor space to one that encourages buyers to think of relaxation and outdoor entertaining!
Staging is an important part of listing a home for sale but not all sellers are open to the idea. Use these tips to make sure potential buyers are impressed from the moment they pull up to your listing. First impressions matter, so have the seller take some time to de-clutter, deep clean, and repair any damage. Creating a focal point in each room and using light and bright colors can make the space feel more open and inviting. Don’t forget about curb appeal – stage the outdoors as well by tidying up the yard, adding some potted plants, and setting up a cozy seating area. A little bit of effort goes a long way in making your home stand out from the competition and getting your seller the maximum sales price.
