Prepping Your House for Prospective Buyers in Tucumcari, New Mexico
Prior to listing your real estate for sale, consider a proven way to sell your house: expert home staging. Some positive aspects of home staging include fewer days on the market and higher bids. If your goal is to sell your home quickly, consider a well thought out approach to home staging.
Look at staging your home as creating an "image" for your home like a PR firm would do for a popular entertainer. Just like creating a style attracts more popularity for a public figure, staging makes your house look better when it's on the market.
Making ready your property to sell doesn't have to be another hurdle in getting your home sold. At times, it's an eye-opening and creative activity. Together, we'll work to get a top dollar bid for your home's sale. Below are a few home staging tips to get you started:
Curb Appeal Checklist
Start with the exterior of your house, or your curb appeal. Inspect the outside of your house from the view of a passerby. What jumps out at you? What awesome characteristics seem to fade into the background?Acknowledging this assists us in determining what actions we can take to attract buyers from the street and into your home. If your home's exterior isn't as neat as possible with refreshed paint and blooming greenery it's time to get those things done. Refer to the Curb Appeal Checklist and raise your house's final selling price.
Welcome Home Checklist
Does your house seem to say, "This is Your New Home" to a buyer? Examining your home with a critical eye, I'll suggest fixes that enhance Open House appeal.
I'll suggest that you get rid of items that give the look of clutter. Table and counter tops should be cleared off. Brick-a-brack, sentimental items, family photos, and play time works of art should get stored away too. I can help you de-clutter your house. Ugly or busy places make your home look unkempt and buyers have a harder time picturing themselves living there.
Every area gets a once-over. Areas that directly impact your sale price include fixable like pieces of furniture that should get rearranged, rooms that need neutral paint, carpet that needs changing, fixtures that need polishing, and windows that need cleaning.
With me by your side, you'll know that your home has mass appeal and that it's friendly, staying away from "loud" or "personalized" colors on the walls and furniture. And if none of your belongings are there, you can think about temporary furnishings. You want your home to look ready to live in as opposed to vacated.
Setting the Stage
At your Open House, we want to engage the buyer's senses. 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 mood of the house with enjoyable music playing softly and make sure a pleasing fragrance circulates from every area. We'll include cozy-looking blankets, and throw pillows on your chairs and bedding. Buyers should feel like your home is their future home.
