STAGE YOUR HOME TODAY, SELL YOUR HOUSE TOMORROW
by Eileen Jonah-Daly
"Presentation is everything"
 We've all heard that old chestnut many times, but it is especially true when preparing your home for sale. Any experienced real estate representative will tell you that the way your home shows to buyers is extremely important in a slower market. When inventory is high and buyers have many choices, it is the home that stands out among the competition that will sell more quickly.
Just as an item on the shelf of a grocery store is a product, so is your home. Your home has features and benefits as well as plusses and minuses, not to mention competitition. To compete within the marketplace, not only must your home be priced right it must accentuate the positive.
Staging is a new concept realtors draw upon that can help sellers objectively assess the way their house will show to potential buyers. Enhancing the mood of a home does not have to be expensive. Simple remedies such as a new lamp and small investments like paint can increase a home's value or reduce the number of days on the market.
 When it comes to color, keep the palette neutral. Potential buyers walking through your home want to imagine themselves as the owners. Clutter and busy decorating detract from the buyers ability to see the bones and beauty of your home.
At Annmarie Jonah REALTORS, staging is just one of the many services offered to sell your home in the fewest number of days for the highest dollar value. Call us to learn more about our suggestions for staging your home today and selling your house tomorrow. |
