If your home has been sitting on the market for months, then you have lost the appeal of being a new listing. You should get viewings and offers on the table within the first two weeks of your listing hitting the internet. If you don’t believe in home staging you will not be as competitive as other homes on the market. You may get people looking but nobody is buying.
One of the reasons our Anne Winch Ottawa Real Estate and Staging Team is so successful is that we understand our clients. We understand how important it is for you to sell your home quickly and how we can accomplish this for you. We have had clients who used realtors that didn’t home stage and have had their homes on the market for months and found that showings dwindled and no offers were on the table.
Often people believe that home staging will take too much time and they forge forward with a realtor that doesn’t stage their home or who may give them the wrong advice on the true value of their home. This choice only causes problems down the road – no viewings, no offers. That is why home staging is so dear to our hearts!
We have found through our many years of real estate experience that sometimes your home may just need a few staging adjustments or pop of colour in a feature wall to get your home the viewings and offers that are needed.
Don’t be afraid to have your home staged. It has proven to be the number one factor that helps homes reach their potential and get the traffic needed to get your home sold. Here are some reasons your home needs staging:
- Furniture may be old, dark or dated
- Too much clutter – less furniture is best
- Paint too dark
- Minor renovations needed
- Strong scents that deter buyers
If you are thinking of selling your home, you will need to stage your home. Staging is a process used so that potential buyers can see themselves living in your home. If there are too many personal items or clutter, it is often hard for buyers to visualize what potential your home does have.
If you are not sure how to stage your home like a pro, we can help. Let us make your home welcoming and organized by implementing pops of colour and flow to your rooms with our staging furniture and accessories. You are in competition with many other sellers and first impressions are so important. Give us a call and find out how we can help you.
