Before you list your home to sell, remember to ask your listing agent about who the likely buyer of your home might be, based on factors like the neighborhood, the size and style of the home, price point, etc. This will help you determine how to best present your home to your target buyer.
You should also consider consulting with a professional home stager to help stage the home for the target buyer. We know just how to present your home in the most appealing way so that buyers can easily imagine themselves living there. Here’s an example of a client in Portland Oregon whose home we staged; the third bedroom was being used as a “storage room” for excess furniture in this cottage-style home. The listing agent agreed that showing this room as a child’s room made a lot more sense for potential buyers. Since the wall color was so bold, we selected the new paint color and the seller got busy painting and putting this furniture in storage.
Before: BOLD wall color, and way too much furniture in this bedroom would just confuse buyers and make them think the room was much too small
After: With a more neutral wall color along with bright accents in the staging accessories, buyers can now easily see this room is just the right size for a child — and this home SOLD IN 2 DAYS!
This home SOLD in two days for full asking price! Call your local professional home stager for help with YOUR home.
