What is “Home Staging” ?
After you’ve been living in a home for a number of years, your eye gets used to what you see every day. You eyes no longer register the familiar clutter of a lived-in home or notice a crowded feeling of too much furniture in a small room. We simply accept what we have become accustomed to. Often home staging is as simple as:
- Removing clutter.
- Creating space by removing/moving furniture.
- Using color to enliven an area; a fresh coat of paint, fresh flowers, etc.
The importance of home staging before you put your house on the market is the difference between selling your home in a reasonable amount of time for the highest possible price with the least stress to you and time passing with no inquiries and no sale forcing you to lower your price in an effort to attract buyers.
As a real estate agent with over 20 years of experience in the Rochester home market, the value of investing your initial hours in home staging reaps absolute returns in maintaining the real value of your home and attracting serious buyers.
