Staging to Sell

Expert home staging is an established tactic utilized to sell a house here in Missouri City, Texas. Home staging benefits include less time on the market and higher selling prices. And you should certainly decide on professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.

Think of staging your home as creating a "style" for your house the same way a manager would do for a popular celebrity. Just like creating a style attracts more positive publicity to a public figure, staging makes your real estate look better when it's on the market.

Together, we'll work to get a top dollar bid for your property. Begin with these home staging tips and you'll see that your house sits fewer months on the market :

Curb Appeal Checklist

Begin with the outside of your house, or your curb appeal. Take a fresh look at the exterior of your house from a street view. What do you notice first? What unique features seem hidden?Understanding this assists us in determining what measures we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't attractive on the outside with retouched paint and bright greenery we'll need to tackle those issues. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and increase your home's final selling price.

Welcome Home Checklist

Can buyers picture themselves watching a movie in your living area, relaxing in your reading nook or inviting family and friends over for a dinner in your dining room? I want your Open House to welcome buyers and give them a sense of easy living. I'll help you accomplish this by recommending small improvements that enhance your house's features. I'll advise you eliminate pieces that give the look of clutter. Counter tops should be cleared off. Brick-a-brack, souvenirs, family photos, and play time drawings should get moved out of sight. I can help you simplify the decor of house. Disheveled or dirty areas make your home feel less spacious and buyers have a harder time imagining themselves calling your property "home".

Every room gets a once-over. Changes that directly affect your sale price include fixable like pieces of furniture that should be removed, rooms that need new paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need washing

I'll ensure your house is appealing and that it's friendly, avoiding "loud" or "too-bright" shades on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can consider renting furniture. The goal is for your house to look lived in as opposed to bare and uninhabited.

Setting the Stage

I'll tell you when for the Open House, because all of the improvements mesh together to paint a picture of what buyers can envision after they choose to buy your house. Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like open curtains and create light where needed to welcome the buyer. Together we'll enhance the ambiance with enjoyable music to listen to while guests enjoy your home and ensure a delightful scent flows room-to-room. We'll add cozy-looking bedspreads, and pillows on your chairs and bedding. We want buyers to feel like your current house is their future home.
