When it comes to staging a house there are many things that can be done to help you maximize your profit and shorten the time on the market. I believe every home owner owes it to themselves to present the property in its most favourable light, and to do so in a way that attracts the highest number of buyers.

If full home staging is not an option, here are some crucial tips that will help you sell your property:

I have found that a lot of home owners and REA’s that think they can stage a property on their own. Staging a property is not about fancy furniture or glamorous lighting, it’s all about enhancing the natural structural element of a home, if you’re not trained to do this, it could turn out to bring you all the wrong kind of buyers (low baller’s). 

For example: If you have an Old Tutor Home and add modern furniture to stage the property, you have already made a mistake; you want to keep the focus on the home its self and not the furniture. A Professional home stager will know exactly what furnishings to use in a home to keep the cohesive flow between the homes structure elements and furnishing..

Stop and think before you try and do it yourself. Ask your self can I look at my home as a buyer would? Hmmm is the color of my home going to turn buyers off? Is my decor taste offensive? A true home stager is not out to break the bank but to help you get the most out of your property. I have seen so many home owners spend money on unnecessary home Reno’s to attract buyers.  When they could have got a second opinion and saved thousands of dollars.

You wouldn’t hire an electrician to sell your home, would you? So why wouldn’t you want to have a professional to help you and your realtor stage your property the right way.

We know exactly what buyers are looking for and what move in ready means to them.. If your home is staged right you could receive above the asking price and add 15,000 to $20,000 to an average sale price in comparison to a similar property on the market that’s not staged. This will help you remove the buyers out there that are going to low ball you, the last thing you want is an offer that is 10,000 to $20,000 below ask..

Whether million dollar mansion or humble suburban bungalow, it's the owners of a property who determine if it sells.
I give home staging consultations on all sorts of properties and with all types of clients.

From perfect two bed units to imperfect million dollar houses, vice versa and all points in-between.

On paper, some houses are always going to be an easier sell. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that when preparing a home for sale it's the owners, not the property, who hold the key to the sale.

Successful sellers understand the rewards and return on investment of a well-presented house, they have the right 'whatever it takes' attitude and know how to present their property to attract a sale.

Unsuccessful sellers don’t want to spend the time or money. They make excuses, look for scapegoats, blame the market and think that a bit of a tidy up is all it takes.

Here's the top three ways sellers get it wrong.

The contents of a refrigerator speak volumes about the seller who’s lived in the home. This, of course, makes sense. Buyers will sometimes make snap judgments about your home on the littlest issues. “Who lives like this? I've seen enough, I'm leaving.” Is this what you want a potential buyer to say about your home..

As strange as it sounds some buyers will look in your refrigerator the same way as they would look into your kitchen cupboards. Don’t take the chance of losing a sale over a messy/dirty refrigerator. You only have one chance to make a first impression..

As you can see Home Staging is not about home decor, it's about knowing what buyers are looking for and what will make a potential buyer walk away from your home only to purchase the one down the street.
