In our experiences many people know almost immediately if they're going to like a home or not. It is a feeling they get as they approach the property and walk through the front door. If the buyer does not feel welcomed as they discover the property the chances of them considering the property as thier new home dwindle rapidly.
If the buyers walking through your home do in fact feel welcomed, positive feelings will flow. This will start offers flowing and those offers will likely be higher, and more acceptable to counter-offers, then if the buyer did not feel welcome in the home. The more good offers you receive will result in a higher sale price for you.
How do you make a buyer feel welcome in your home? How do you get them to envision it as thier own? For starters you may need to declutter, move some furniture around to make spaces fell more open, or even bring some furniture in to show a potential buyer what can be done with a space.
Not everyone has a knack for decorating or decluttering. This is where home staging can help.
Home staging is a both term and a service that has gained popularity of late. Home staging encompasses all sorts of property-related issues including decorating, painting, home repair and furnishing. A home stager looks at your home from the point of view of a buyer, someone who's looking to be welcomed into your home. A properly staged home usually sells quicker and for more money than a cluttered uninviteing competitor.
