Professional home staging is a tried and true tactic applied to sell a home here in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Some advantages to home staging include less time on the market and higher selling prices. And you should certainly consider professional home staging if you need a quick home sale.
Staging your home in Santa Fe, New Mexico is all about selling a lifestyle. You want buyers to imagine themselves calling your house "home". You want them to see your current house as their future home.
Staging your house to sell doesn't have to be a problem. Instead it can be an eye-opening and inventive task. Together, we'll work to get a premium bid for your house. Use these home staging tricks to get you started:
Begin with the outside of your house, also called your curb appeal. Look at the outside of your house from a quick glance from the street. What jumps out at you? What awesome features seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this helps us to choose what we can do to draw buyers from the street and into your home. If your house isn't the best it can look on the outside with retouched paint and blooming garden plants we'll need to address those as well. Follow the Curb Appeal Checklist and add dollars to your house's final selling price.
Can buyers see themselves hanging out 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 house to pleasantly accept buyers and give them a sense of comfort. I'll help you do this by recommending small improvements that highlight your home's features.
I'll help you get rid of pieces that give the impression of clutter. Surface areas like tables, desks and counters should be clutter-free. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. You need to "de-personalize" the house so buyers can see it as their new house.
I know exactly where a room's best features are and how to highlight them. Changes that directly affect your dollars include fixable like furniture pieces that should be rearranged, rooms that need fresh paint, carpet that needs to be replaced, fixtures that need replacing, and windows that need washing
I'll make sure your home has mass appeal and that it's welcoming, steering clear of "loud" or "too-bright" shades on the walls and furniture. And if you've already moved out, you can try temporary furniture. You want your house to look ready to live in as opposed to empty.
Setting the Stage
At every showing, we want to capture buyers' attention.
Dark rooms can be a real mood killer, so we'll do things like part the curtains and reduce shadows where needed to invite the buyer inside. Together we'll enhance the air of the house with enjoyable music to listen to while guests look at your home and assure a nice scent circulates room-to-room. We'll make use of cozy-looking blankets, and throw pillows on your chairs and bed. Buyers should feel like your house has the potential to be.
