Home Staging Basics to Get the Best Price
Home staging can make or break the sale of a home, especially when getting the best possible price. Staging helps Buyers see themselves in your home; generates a Feel-at-Home sense in their hearts when they get out of their car and walk towards the door....the gut feeling or hunch..this is it! Lake Hickory Realty approaches a home for sale objectively, like a Buyer, and therefore, can bring the property to life in the best possible way. First plan of action is to liven up the entrance. The landscaping, sidewalk, porch, and door, your curb appeal is the first impression a Buyer calculates in their head (all the calculating is money they are subtracting from the asking price). Powerwash the walkway, add flowering plants, brighten the mailbox, shape the bushes, paint the front door. Next, eliminate any signs of pets. I have a client who can smell a dog or cat as soon as I open the front door and won't even enter the home because of pet allergies. Turn on the lights to showcase your elegant fixtures, open the blinds and curtains for the natural light. Give your hardwoods a good cleaning and buff up the shine. Today, everyone loves the idea of a backyard paradise to relax their troubles away. You can mix and match furniture to set up a new dining area with grill and umbrella, or add a relaxing firepit scenario and add some outdoor lighting, voila!
