A buyer’s first impression is never forgotten and we want a potential home buyer to have a great first impression and to visualize themselves living in your home. That is why we have a professional home stager to help you accomplish that.
A PROFESSIONAL HOME STAGER:
- Creates more attractive living spaces
- Helps sell homes faster with a higher price
- Sets the stage for buyers to visualize it as their home
- Customizes an action plan to your home
DECLUTTER
A home with too much stuff, is unattractive to buyers. De-clutter and organize as much as you can from cabinets, pantry, closets, table tops, dressers, garage and any other nook and cranny in your home. You have made the commitment to move and now is a perfect time to begin packing infrequently used items. Consider renting a climate-controlled storage space to pack and store extra items and furniture.
DEPERSONALIZE
Remove your personal and sentimental items so that potential buyers can visualize themselves living in your home. Remember, your decorative style will likely not be the same as potential buyers.
REMOVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
- Family photos
- Children’s artwork
- Refrigerator magnets
