First impressions are paramount when it comes to real estate. When you are selling your home the way your home is staged is very important. It could potentially hurt your home if it is not done right, that is why we are here to help.
Our Anne Winch Real Estate and Staging Team has been selling and staging your homes for many years. We know what works and what doesn’t. That is why we would like to outline how we can stage your home correctly so that it enhances the beauty of your home.
Planning
Before we ever start to stage your home, we need to plan. We assess the area where you live so that we can target the right demographics to sell your house. We don’t want to alienate any potential buyers. We assess the local market to understand the preferences of buyers in your area. Factors such as lifestyle, tastes and demographics all come into play. Our staging experience can provide insights on how to stage your home to appeal to a wider audience.
Your space
Don’t over-personalize your space! We don’t want to have a sterile environment, but we need to have a space that does not have the clutter of personal items such as family photos and memorabilia to distract from the buyer assessing your home. We want to have an inviting home with neutral décor that will appeal to a broader audience. Consider artwork or prints to please your buyers. You need to have a gentle balance of neutral colour palettes with modern furniture and minimalistic art.
Our Professional staging help – Anne Winch Real Estate and Staging Team
One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is trying to stage a home themselves. While some DIY staging can be appealing, you may neglect a seasoned stager’s experience to enhance your home.
Professionals not only understand current design trends, but they can also play down any weaknesses in the home. If you skip this critical step, you may be left with overcluttered spaces or mismatched décor.
Overcrowding
Never overcrowd your space! While it might be tempting to showcase every piece of furniture you own, a cluttered room can overpower buyers and hinder their ability to see themselves living in your home.
Out Team would choose pieces from our home staging warehouse that would highlight the room’s purpose. Strategic furniture pieces can highlight and accentuate a room’s dimensions and focal points. Furniture staging is not about filling spaces but showcasing how buyers may live in your home.
Ignoring repairs
It doesn’t matter how lovely a home looks, if repairs are neglected buyers will be turned off. Ignoring repairs sends the message that your home hasn’t been maintained and could lower the value of your home.
Before staging, our Team will have a tour of your home to see any potential problems. We will go over any issues with you before we start. It might just be some paint, minor repairs or fixing a leaky faucet.
